The NGC 2419 globular cluster contains potassium and magnesium in ratios not found in other, similar globular clusters. Scientists have so far been unable to find the source for this unexpected pattern. However, previous uncertainties in the potassium-hydrogen fusion reactions hindered the predictions of stellar models. This new study offers crucial experimental insights that enable refined stellar models to probe the peculiarities of NGC 2419.
Today, UWF celebrated the planting of a “Moon Tree” seedling that flew around the moon on NASA’s Artemis 1 mission in 2022. UWF was selected from hundreds of organizations that applied to receive a seedling.
As national interest in STEM degrees rise, the number of students completing them has dwindled.
Insecticide use is the single largest factor contributing to a decline in total butterfly abundance and species diversity in the Midwest, according to a newly released study published by the journal PLOS ONE from Michigan State University.
In 2003, Anne Nielsen became the first doctoral student in the U.S. to study the brown marmorated stink bug, which was beginning its ascendancy as an invasive species notoriously damaging to crops. Working with her mentor, Rutgers entomologist George Hamilton, Nielsen traced the stink bug’s life cycle and origins. By the time the stink bug populations exploded in 2009-2010, Nielsen and Hamilton were in a unique position to advise farmers on countermeasures.

Patients with pancreatic cancer who received chemotherapy both before and after surgery experienced longer survival rates than would be expected from surgery followed by chemotherapy, according to a new study from researchers at Yale Cancer Center (YCC) and Yale School of Medicine. The study, published June 20 in JAMA Oncology, included patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), which accounts for 90% of pancreatic cancers.
An innovative collaboration merges Iowa State University’s research and 3D-printing facilities with a private design firm’s digital tools and vision to create an outdoor seating space to be installed this summer at the new Rudd Public Library. The old Rudd library was destroyed by a tornado in December 2021. The pieces designed for the library are as much an art installation as public seating, featuring seven separate concrete pieces that will allow patrons to sit or recline, similar to benches.
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital found that, with early screening, they could detect new cancers in pediatric patients with an underlying genetic predisposition at their most treatable stages.
Advances will aid research designs that reflect potential day-to-day benefits of nutrition, including attention, memory, anxiety and other benefits.
Alzheimer’s disease, a deadly brain disease than can cause loss of memory and mobility, affects millions of lives daily. June marks Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, and Virginia Tech researchers are engaged in research meant to advance treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and assist caregivers of loved ones with dementia.
Indiana University School of Medicine researchers and their collaborators have uncovered molecular insights expected to enhance treatment options for acute myeloid leukemia (AML), a rare and severe blood and bone marrow cancer.
The American Cleaning Institute joined three allied trade associations in publishing new guidance for makers of professional cleaning products that use enzymes, which are known for their versatility, safety and low environmental impact.
