For over 20 million years, the landscape of Europe has been a tree-rich mosaic of grasslands, scrubs and more or less open woodlands with an abundance of wildflowers. This is the conclusion of a new […]
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are becoming increasingly common on roadways, but making them as safe as possible may entail going beyond the particular specs of the vehicles themselves to upgrading the roadway infrastructure. EyeDAR, a low-power […]
Around the world, scientists are exploring an unexpected solution to the growing data crisis: storing digital information in synthetic DNA. The idea is simple but powerful—DNA is one of the most compact, durable information systems […]
Children who received Early Intervention (EI) services before age 3 were more likely to meet third-grade academic standards in math and English language arts (ELA), according to a study by researchers at Columbia University Mailman […]

BYU engineers had so much fun working with Mark Rober to create the “world’s smallest Nerf blaster,” they continued the work to see how big they could make it. The micro ant-blaster has become a […]
Traditional industrial tomographs reach their physical limits when it comes to large volumes and high radiography requirements. Fraunhofer IIS’s XXL CT system, built in 2013, is considered the world’s only publicly accessible facility capable of […]
A study of changes to the habitats of more than 700 species reveals massive biodiversity loss—but also possibilities for restoration. “There is a lot of talk about deforestation and biodiversity loss in the Amazon, but […]
