Globally, glass manufacturing emits at least 86 million tons of carbon dioxide annually. However, a new type of glass called LionGlass, developed by Penn State…
Researchers report that a new method for assessing microbial activity in wetted soil leads to a better understanding of vulnerability. Using a novel method to…
If we think we can compensate for lack of sleep during the week by sleeping in on the weekend, we’re mistaken. A recent study from…
Newly discovered fossils in Argentina provide evidence that changes in climate and geography may have compelled a well-known species of spurge plants to migrate from…
A new study conducted by researchers from Penn State suggests that decreased sexual satisfaction in middle-aged individuals could act as an early warning of future…
Bioluminescent bacteria and the Hawaiian bobtail squid have formed a longstanding mutually beneficial relationship. The intricate manner in which the bacteria coordinate their behavior to…
Penn State researchers have created a thermoelectric cooler that significantly improves cooling power and efficiency for future high-power electronics. The device uses half-Heusler alloys and…
Penn State researchers have recently characterized over a hundred blazars – far-off, dynamic galaxies hosting a central supermassive black hole that propels potent jets –…
A new ferroelectric polymer that efficiently converts electrical energy into mechanical strain has been developed by Penn State researchers. This material, showing potential for use…
New experiments with ultra-cold atomic gases shed light on how all interacting quantum systems evolve after a sudden energy influx. New experiments using one-dimensional gases…
Giraffe populations separated by Great Rift Valley in eastern Africa are genetically distinct, suggesting that conservation efforts should be considered separately for each population. Giraffes…
New study suggests some vaccines could induce a protective shift in the microorganisms that live with a host organism. A human or animal’s microbiome —…
A study conducted at Penn State University suggests that binge drinking during adolescence may cause irreversible dysregulation of neurons in the brain, potentially leading to…
Tightly curled scalp hair protected early humans from the sun’s radiative heat, allowing their brains to grow to sizes comparable to those of modern humans….
Scientists have reactivated the upgraded Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) after a three-year break, improving its ability to measure gravitational waves. These waves offer new…
In a study exploring the various species of algal symbionts associated with reef corals throughout the Indo-Pacific region, researchers discovered a high degree of flexibility…
A new superhydrophobic biosensor enables the monitoring of “insensible” sweat (vaporized water loss from the skin), which was previously hard to measure. This sensor can…
