While decades of monitoring and regulatory efforts have paid little attention to Lake Michigan’s tiny tributaries, new research shows that they play an outsized role in feeding algae blooms and impacting coastal waters.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Carnivores living near people feast on human food, threatening ecosystems
MADISON – Ecologists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have found that carnivores living near people can get more than half of their diets from human food sources, a major lifestyle disruption that could put North America’s carnivore-dominated eco…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Crystal-stacking process can produce new materials for high-tech devices
Stacking ultrathin complex oxide single-crystal layers allows researchers to create new structures with hybrid properties and multiple functions. Now, using a new platform developed by engineers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the Massachuse…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Cheap nanoparticles stimulate immune response to cancer in the lab
University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have developed nanoparticles that, in the lab, can activate immune responses to cancer cells. If they are shown to work as well in the body as they do in the lab, the nanoparticles might provide an effective …
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Mimicking enzymes, chemists produce large, useful carbon rings
Drawing inspiration from nature, University of Wisconsin-Madison chemists have discovered an efficient way to wrangle long, snaking molecules to form large rings — rings that form the backbone of many pharmaceuticals but are difficult to produce in th…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Flashing lights may provide vital first test of MS drug success
Measuring changes in the speed of electrical signals along nerves connecting the eyes to the brain may accurately reflect recovery from myelin loss in multiple sclerosis (MS), according to researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and could b…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Hard as a rock? Maybe not, say bacteria that help form soil
Research published this week by University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists shows how bacteria can degrade solid bedrock, jump-starting a long process of alteration that creates the mineral portion of soil.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Study of Wisconsin walleye finds recreational fishing contributes to stock declines
New research shows that when stocks of fish get so low that it becomes a greater challenge to catch them, many anglers step up to the challenge and continue catching fish. This poses a threat to the long-term health of sportfish populations in Wisconsi…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Lifelike chemistry created in lab search for ways to study origin of life
University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have cultivated lifelike chemical reactions while pioneering a new strategy for studying the origin of life.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: In Wisconsin, 3 in 5 people with Down syndrome diagnosed with dementia by age 55
A new study of 3,000 people in Wisconsin aged 21 and older with Down syndrome, published today [Monday, Oct. 28, 2019] in JAMA Neurology by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, shows that by age 55, three in five will be diagnosed with A…
