A study has found that young chimpanzees develop distinct population-specific vocal patterns as they mature (ontogeny), challenging the long-held assumption that their calls are inflexible and determined solely by genetics. Led by Doctoral researcher Kassandra Giragosian from the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences at Queen Mary University of London, in collaboration with the University

"Red berries grow in southern land, how many spring branches hold?" The red beans described by WANG Wei (701–761) in his poem have evoked the longing of the Chinese people for thousands of years. Today, right in the "southern land" mentioned in the poem—the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area—a research team has unveiled the identity of two new species of this very genus. Recently, a team l

Plastic waste is one of the world's fastest-growing environmental problems. According to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Global Plastics Outlook: Policy Scenarios to 2060 report, global plastic use is projected to nearly triple from 460 million metric tons in 2019 to 1.2 billion metric tons by 2060, if current trends continue. Our current approaches are struggling to k
From incorporating natural resources into GDP to building sustainable cities to strengthening drivers of carbon removal, Yale School of the Environment faculty and alumni will be discussing how long-term climate goals can translate into scalable, deployable solutions at Yale @ Climate Week NYC .
The University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business will launch an accelerated one‑year, Full‑Time MBA program beginning in summer 2027, alongside Smith’s existing two‑year MBA, as a faster, high‑ROI pathway for early‑career professionals seeking career acceleration, AI fluency and real‑world leadership experience.

"Micromixer" might just sound like a fancy name for a tiny blender, but mixing liquids at the microliter scale is no simple task. Micromixers are essential components of microfluidic devices that are widely used across the pharmaceutical, life sciences, chemistry, and materials engineering industries, where they rapidly and evenly combine tiny amounts of reagents. Three-dimensional (3D) microchann
Imagine swimming in open water and feeling slime brush against your leg. Most people might shake it off without a second thought. But what if the surface of a boat could do the same?

The genus Androsace is widely distributed across the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with notable diversity in the Alps and the Hengduan–Himalaya regions. Previous phylogenetic studies have advanced the understanding of Androsace 's evolutionary history, but its biogeographic origins and diversification history remain unresolved due to limited species sampling and low statistical sup

Graphene is an exceptionally useful material for creating batteries, catalysts, and electronic devices. Yet producing graphene typically requires temperatures as high as 900°C, limiting energy efficiency and making structural control difficult. To make graphene production more practical, a recent study has overcome this long-standing temperature barrier. In a study published in the Journal of the
