New international research from Tulane University and published in Nature Geoscience is the first study to demonstrate global-scale patterns in how El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences mangrove growth and degradation. Previously, impacts had only been documented at individual sites, such as a dramatic die-off in northern Australia in 2015 when more than 40 million mangrove trees perished along a 1,200-mile stretch of coastline. 

A resounding victory for the University of Oldenburg, Germany: all three top-level research projects that submitted proposals to be Clusters of Excellence in the Excellence Strategy of the German federal and state governments have been approved and will receive funding for seven years. The topics of the Clusters are hearing research, animal navigation and marine sciences.

Triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) is an emerging technology for mechanical energy harvesting and self-powered sensing, which offers significant potential in intelligent sports by reducing battery dependency. This paper reviews the recent advancements in TENG applications for intelligent sports, toward the future application of artificial intelligence for sports.

Researchers from the University of Chicago's Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering and the University of Iowa united insights from cellular biology, quantum computing, old-fashioned semiconductors and high-definition TVs to both create a revolutionary new quantum biosensor. In doing so, they shed light on a longstanding mystery in quantum materials.
