A stunning 95.8% of all residential land in California is reserved for single-family housing, effectively barring denser housing options in those areas and creating an obstacle to racial and economic equality in the state, a new study released Wednesday from UC Berkeley’s Othering & Belonging Institute shows.

The true nature of time has eluded physicists for centuries, but a new theoretical model suggests it may only exist due to entanglement between quantum objects The true nature of time has eluded physicists for centuries, but a new theoretical model suggests it may only exist due to entanglement between quantum objects New Scientist – News
The fjords on Sweden’s west coast act as effective carbon traps regardless of whether the bottom water is oxygen-rich or not. This is the conclusion of a new study by researchers from the University of Gothenburg.

To coincide with Australia’s National Reconciliation Week, ANSTO is sharing research published recently in the journal Food Control that confirms fraudulent Kakadu plum extracts are in circulation online and in the international marketplace. Kakadu plum is an endemic Australian fruit, and current production is largely wild-harvest, from northern Australia, a large proportion of which is…
How can machine learning help astronomers find Earth-like exoplanets? This is what a new study hopes to address as a team of international researchers investigated how a novel neural network-based algorithm could be used to detect Earth-like exoplanets using data from the radial velocity (RV) detection method. How can machine learning help astronomers find Earth-like exoplanets?…
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have achieved a significant milestone in optical imaging technology. A new all-optical complex field imager has been developed, capable of capturing both amplitude and phase information of optical fields without the need for digital processing. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) have achieved a…
The global financial crisis of 2007–2009 prompted calls for greater transparency in auditing processes, and since 2013, the auditors of UK-listed companies have been required to highlight key audit matters or KAMs. However, according to a paper by SMU researchers, there has been ‘mixed evidence’ regarding the impact of the regulation and whether investors find…
