Termites are a crucial source of nutrients for chimpanzees, but they’re not always accessible. Now, researchers copying chimpanzee tools and techniques have shown that chimpanzees can only reliably fish for termites in the early wet season.

"Cooperative” behavior between complex mixtures in battery electrolytes could provide a new blueprint for future battery design, enabling the wider development of multivalent batteries.

Seabirds roam far and wide in the Indian Ocean – so they need ocean-wide protection, new research shows. With seabirds facing numerous threats due to human activity, their survival depends on protecting the open ocean.

In the first study to examine ice cores from the summit of the highest tropical mountain in the world, new evidence provides unique insight into the climate record of the Amazon Basin over the last six decades.

Cannabinoids may have evolved to deter pests from chewing on them, according to experiments that showed higher cannabinoid concentrations in hemp leaves led to proportionately less damage from insect larvae.

Converting PFAS “forever chemicals” into valuable carbenes. The conversion was achieved by simply removing two fluorine atoms from 1,2-difluoroalkene derivatives.

Researchers in Australia have harnessed AI to produce solar cells from the mineral perovskite in just a matter of weeks, bypassing years of human labor and human error to optimize the cells.

Researchers from Rutgers University have uncovered the potential impact of exposure to air pollution on prenatal hormone health and infant reproductive development.

Scattering sunlight-reflecting particles in the atmosphere could slow rapid melting in West Antarctica and reduce the risk of catastrophic sea-level rise, according to a study led by Indiana University researchers.

For the first time, researchers have succeeded in printing a robotic hand with bones, ligaments and tendons made of different polymers using a new laser scanning technique.
