COLUMBIA, S.C. (WBTW) — Officials with the S.C. Department of Natural Resources are concerned about a rabbit disease that affects wild and domestic rabbits and is nearly always fatal. Rabbit Hemorrhagic Disease Virus-2 (RHDV2) is a highly contagious ...
Your helicopter rises, hovers, then at the next command moves forward. Oops, it didn't go high enough. You quickly move the joystick and the drone rises to fly above the obstruction. Finally it's in the air, moving at speed above sand dunes, hills and valleys— ...
A neural network that mimics the biology of the brain can be loaded onto a microchip for faster and more efficient artificial intelligence. A biomimicking "spiking" neural network on a microchip has enabled KAUST researchers to lay the foundation for ...
From time-series data collected over 25 years, the researchers quantified the contributions of three salinity sources—highly treated wastewater and outflows from two rapidly urbanizing watersheds in Northern Virginia—to the rising concentration of sodium, a ...
Manta rays and whitetip reef sharks glide past socially distanced visitors at Rio de Janeiro's hangar-sized AquaRio aquarium. In a laboratory upstairs, above the main gallery, a new experiment is underway, one that marine scientists hope will enhance the ...
Chronic pain is among the most common chronic conditions in the United States, but estimates of its prevalence and impact vary widely. In 2019, the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers for Disease Control and ...
The software enables researchers to design ways to take very small strands of DNA and combine them into complex structures with components such as rotors and hinges that can move to complete various tasks.
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - We're about to put an end to the annual early year meteor shower drought as one of the more famous showers peaks Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. The Lyrids may not produce the number of meteors that the ...

An enormous Antarctic iceberg whose journeys were probably the most well-documented in history has now melted away to nothing in the Atlantic ocean. A68 cracked off the Larsen C ice sheet on the Antarctic Peninsula in 2017 as one of the biggest icebergs ...
The waning diversity of plants and animals have caused great concern yet with deep implications: Is such diversity in microbial life, such as viruses, under threat as well? If so, how fast is this decline, and in which direction? According to a paper written by Dr.
According to the scientists, tiny DNA-based robots and other nanodevices could be used to deliver medicine inside our bodies, detect the presence of deadly pathogens and help manufacture increasingly smaller electronics. The team unveiled ...
Tarantulas, everyone's favorite hairy spiders, are found worldwide, inhabiting all continents except Antarctica. But how did they become so widespread? Females rarely leave their burrows, spiderlings stick close to where they hatch, and mature males only ...
For a few brief minutes, a suborbital rocket from NASA has an ambitious plan to seek out particles from interstellar space. A mission called Spatial Heterodyne Interferometric Emission Line Dynamics Spectrometer (SHIELDS) will lift off from the White Sands ...
