Researchers identify two new crocodile species

admin — Thu, 24 Apr 2025 12:59:51 +0000

�󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ researchers, in collaboration with Mexican scientists, have discovered two previously unknown species of crocodiles, one living on the island of Cozumel and the other on the atoll of Banco Chinchorro, both off the Yucatán Peninsula. The findings challenge long-held assumptions about the American crocodile (Crocodylus acutus) and highlight the urgent need for conservation efforts, the researchers say.

�󷢲�Ʊƽ̨-linked AXIS mission is one of two finalists in NASA selection process

admin — Thu, 28 Nov 2024 14:15:15 +0000

NASA has selected the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) mission, co-investigated by �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ Professor Daryl Haggard, to advance to the next stage of its $1 billion space probe competition.

Researchers link mysterious cosmic signals to collapsed stars

An international team of scientists led by �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ researchers has provided the clearest evidence yet that some fast radio bursts (FRBs) — enigmatic, millisecond-long flashes of radio waves from space — originate from neutron stars, the ultra-dense remnants of massive stars that have exploded in a supernova. This finding, based on an analysis of the radio signal of a single FRB, advances our understanding of one of the universe’s most perplexing phenomena.

Apex predators in prehistoric Colombian oceans would have snacked on killer whales today: �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ study

Predators at the top of a marine food chain 130 million years ago ruled with more power than any modern species, �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ research into a marine ecosystem from the Cretaceous period revealed.

Humpback whales’ use of memory to time their migration could prove less effective amid climate change

admin — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 13:09:16 +0000

A new study led by �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time environmental cues with their memories of conditions in their Antarctic feeding grounds to determine when to embark on their annual 10,000-kilometre journey. With climate change accelerating, the researchers warn this strategy may become less effective amid shifting ocean conditions.

Saskatchewan’s first Centrosaurus and Citipes elegans fossils discovered by �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ researchers

admin — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 12:36:54 +0000

Paleontologists and students from �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ have documented Saskatchewan's first confirmed fossil specimens of Centrosaurus, a horned dinosaur species closely related to Triceratops.

The search, conducted in Saskatchewan Landing Provincial Park along the South Saskatchewan River, also unearthed a rare mix of dinosaur and marine fossils, shedding light on a dinosaur fauna which existed on the edge of an ancient sea at a time of rising sea levels long before humans roamed the earth.

When using music to alleviate pain, tempo matters

admin — Mon, 03 Feb 2025 16:32:01 +0000

Music has the best chance of providing pain relief when it is played at our natural rhythm, a �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ research team has discovered.

This suggests it may be possible to reduce a patient’s level of pain by using technology to take a piece of music someone likes and adjust the tempo to match their internal rhythm, the researchers said.

The discovery was the subject of a paper published this week in Pain, the top journal in the field of pain medicine and research.

Expert: Access to personal data

Elon Musk’s team at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has sought access to data from various U.S. government departments and agencies. This has caused concerns that DOGE will gain access to potentially sensitive data on millions of Americans.

‘Last Ice Area’ in the Arctic could disappear much sooner than previously thought

admin — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 21:17:23 +0000

The Arctic’s “Last Ice Area” (LIA) — a vital habitat for ice-dependent species — might disappear within a decade after the central Arctic Ocean becomes ice-free in summer, which is expected to occur sometime around mid-century, a new study by �󷢲�Ʊƽ̨ researchers using a high-resolution model has found.
