New research suggests that monarch butterflies are dying off during their fall migration to Mexico.

Older adults in the UK who are socially isolated are more likely to have an insufficient intake of key micronutrients such as vitamin C and vitamin B6, increasing their risk of health problems, according to a new study.

A team at MIT has created a method to 3D print active electronic devices without semiconductors, using a biodegradable polymer doped with copper nanoparticles. This allows for the production of resettable fuses.

A study reveals a new method, called ZeroCAL, that could eliminate up to 98% of CO2 emissions associated with cement production. The technique utilizes calcium hydroxide and involves a water-based solution and electrochemical processes.

Researchers have found that up to 41% of native tree species in Miami-Dade County may experience heat stress by 2100 due to rising temperatures. The study suggests that planting more tropical tree species could help maintain the city's diverse trees.

Computer simulations and machine learning have provided new insights into how perovskite materials function, an important step in designing more efficient solar cells.

An international research team has discovered three genetically distinct groups of bonobos in Central Africa, revealing that these populations diverged up to 145,000 years ago. This study emphasizes the need for targeted conservation efforts.

An artificial mouth has been created to help researchers understand how soft foods are chewed and processed.

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have found that the gut microbiome affects the health of wild birds, which could in turn impact their survival rates and ultimately population sizes.

Researchers identified seven new species of tree frogs in Madagascar that produce unique, high-pitched whistling calls. These frogs communicate in a way that helps them stand out amid the noise of their fast-flowing stream habitats.
