Los Angeles is burning, but it isn’t alone. In recent years, fires have blasted through cities in Colorado, the southern Appalachians and the island of Maui, along with Canada, Australia, Portugal and Greece. What wasn’t burned was smoked in. Los Angeles is burning, but it isn’t alone. In recent years, fires have blasted through cities in…

Scientists at the University of Lausanne (UNIL) have used AI to massively speed up computer calculations and simulate the last ice cover in the Alps. Much more in line with field observations, the new results show that the ice was thinner than in previous models. This innovative method opens the door to countless new simulations…

Carbon particles are present in many aspects of our daily lives. Soot, which consists of tiny carbon particles, is generated when energy sources such as oil or wood are not completely burned. Soot particle filters, in turn, remove the nanometer- to micrometer-sized particles from car exhaust fumes with the help of chemical surface reactions. Carbon particles…

A new study co-authored by Christopher Warshaw, professor of Political Science at George Washington University, reveals that the partisanship of mayors has no detectable effect on key policing and crime metrics in U.S. cities. A new study co-authored by Christopher Warshaw, professor of Political Science at George Washington University, reveals that the partisanship of mayors has…

Single women are happier, on average, than single men. That’s among the findings of a recent study by University of Toronto psychology researchers. They say the results suggest that men may have more to gain than women in heteronormative romantic partnerships. Single women are happier, on average, than single men.

Scientists have discovered that juvenile bottlenose dolphins have specialized receptors for detecting the fatty acids in their mother’s milk. These findings, published in the journal Marine Mammal Science, offer important insights into how these marine mammals grow, feed, and communicate. Scientists have discovered that juvenile bottlenose dolphins have specialized receptors for detecting the fatty acids in…
