How intimate partner violence affects custody decisions
Peer-Reviewed Publication
Intimate partner violence (IPV) can have significant implications for the wellbeing of mothers and children during separation and divorce. Yet IPV is often not included in custody cases or factored into court decisions, a new University of Illinois study shows.
Engineers can adapt weather forecasting models to give individuals a personalized assessment of their risk of exposure to COVID-19 or other diseases.
A new study examined what factors enhance collective attention, focusing on the influence of teams’ hierarchy and its interaction with teams’ gender composition.
A new study paints a vivid image of how forests developed over centuries and contribute to Earth’s carbon balance—a crucial component to maintaining a steady global climate. The study reconstructed the natural pace and pattern of carbon storage in forests of the Midwestern United States over 10,000 years. Published in the journal Science, the findings have the potential to shift ongoing debates about how landscapes can be managed to maximize carbon storage while meeting conservation goals.
Rice University scientists create the first boron nitride nanotube fibers using the custom wet-spinning process they developed to make carbon nanotube fibers.
In a new study, North Carolina State University researchers found that while many volunteers who sign up to help crowdsource scientific findings are extremely motivated and committed, these projects aren’t attracting a diverse pool of volunteers.
Megalodon sharks, which went extinct about 3 million years ago, were three times longer than modern great white sharks and were apex predators at highest trophic level ever measured. Princeton's Danny Sigman and Emma Kast led a research team that used the traces of nitrogen trapped in shark tooth enamel to calculate the trophic levels of the prehistoric predators.
An international team of researchers has demonstrated a technique that allows them to align gold nanorods using magnetic fields, while preserving the underlying optical properties of the gold nanorods.
Women in science are less likely than their male counterparts to receive authorship credit for the work they do, an innovative new study finds.
Using DNA data, ETH researchers together with partnering institutions have examined seawater to find not only new species of bacteria, but also previously unknown natural products that may one day prove beneficial.
