By 2022, researchers had documented only nine Poweshiek skipperlings in the entire United States On a summer day in Michigan, a tiny Poweshiek skipperling butterfly takes flight over a restored prairie. The butterfly is smaller than a quarter, but its return marks a major change for a species once feared to be close to extinction.Researchers … Read more

TSMC and Taiwan researchers engineered an interface only 0.42 nanometers thick to improve next-generation MoS2 transistors

Representational AI photo Researchers from Taiwan’s National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) and TSMC Corporate Research have developed a new way to improve transistors made from atomically thin materials. They focuses on the tiny boundary where two materials meet, which allowed them to build transistors with an extremely thin insulating layer while maintaining strong … Read more

In 2001, Denmark began turning 19 km of straightened River Skjern into 26 km of bends; researchers later found some lost habitats may take centuries to return

In 2001, Denmark began restoring 19 km of the straightened River Skjern by turning it into 26 km of winding river. Researchers later found that some of the habitats lost during decades of river engineering could take centuries to return. The large civil engineering project along the lower River Skjern in West Jutland aimed to … Read more

Researchers tracked wildfires from 1984 to 2022; a Pacific trend added 22% to US Southwest drying-related burned area but reduced eastern Australias by about 19%

Researchers tracked wildfires from 1984 to 2022; a Pacific trend added 22% to US Southwest drying-related burned area but reduced eastern Australia’s by about 19%

Representative Image (AI-generated) A long-term shift in the tropical Pacific Ocean has played contrasting roles in wildfire activity on opposite sides of the world, amplifying fire-prone conditions in the southwestern United States while easing them in eastern Australia. According to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, the Pacific Ocean pattern increased drying-related … Read more
