In recognition of research with the greatest potential to address the ecological crisis, the 2025 Frontiers Planet Prize from Japan was awarded to OIST professor, Dr. Paola Laurino. Okinawa Institute ...
In the oceans and on land, scientists are discovering rare, transitional organisms that bridge the gap between Earth’s simplest cells and today’s complex ones.
The subseafloor constitutes one of the largest and most understudied ecosystems on Earth. While it is known that life survives deep in the fluids, rocks, and sediments that make up the seafloor, ...
The researchers targeted an EPEC strain that causes severe – and sometimes deadly – diarrhea in children under five, especially in developing countries. YANNIK SCHNEIDER VIA SWNS. “We discovered a ...
Wind howls and waves roar as storms rage over the open ocean. But even as gusts reach hurricane strength and swells rise as high as six-story buildings, the violent effects of these storms only reach ...
