A study has found widespread mass loss of glaciers and ice caps in Greenland since the start of the 20th century. The research provides critical insights into long-term changes to the glaciers and ice caps as a result of climate change, which has contributed about one fifth to global sea-level rise in the last decade.

Cisco, a global technology leader, announced today that it will start manufacturing in India, a major step in the expansion of its footprint in the country. This move is a part of Cisco’s strategy to create an even more diverse and resilient global supply chain and support India’s vision of becoming a global manufacturing hub. […]
A pioneering University of Leeds research project about human movement has been awarded an Ingenious Award by the Royal Academy of Engineering. “The Mechanics of Life: Movement, Mobility and Me” brings together University engineers, led by Dr Briony Thomas, from the School of Mechanical Engineering, with creative minds at Northern Ballet to help change perceptions […]
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine say they have evidence from a new study in rats that spinal cord stimulation (SCS) may be useful in reducing chronic pain in people undergoing active treatment with a common anti-cancer drug. The study found that the use of SCS measurably reduced pain response in rats that […]
Among families with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, Johns Hopkins University researchers say they have found a link between chemical “marks” on DNA in the sperm of fathers and autistic traits in their 3-year-old children. The research, reported April 27 in Molecular Psychiatry, adds to mounting evidence that the so-called epigenome influences the origins […]
On the heels of the global chip shortage, the University of Michigan is part of a new public-private partnership that will establish a global semiconductor center of excellence in Michigan that focuses on the auto industry. The Semiconductor Talent and Automotive Research (STAR) initiative is led by semiconductor company KLA and Belgium-based technology innovation hub […]
A researcher who exposed the threat that climate change poses to tropical forests in Africa has been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society, one of the highest accolades in science. Simon Lewis, Professor of Global Change Science in the School of Geography, said the Fellowship was the culmination of “two decades of teamwork” involving […]
In a study of 17 people from five families, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they found that ultra- lengthy DNA endcaps called telomeres fail to provide the longevity presumed for such people. Instead, people with long telomeres tend to develop a range of benign and cancerous tumors, as well as the age- related blood condition […]
