The Darwin Prize was presented on Darwin Day, February 12th.
Scientists have described a completely new organ that may play an important part in the fish’s immune system. This can have implications for future health of salmon used in farming industry and other fish.
The weight of a deer seems like a simple measure – a number measured in kilograms. However, it is not that straightforward. When should you weigh the deer during the year, and at what point in its life?
Tubers from wild, endangered orchids are harvested and sold to produce the popular drink salep. A newly developed Norwegian method can now trace the tubers back to their species and growth location.
New experiments may have confirmed a theory hatched in front of a chalkboard in Oslo in the 1970s.
Scientists are struggling to understand how cod can live a healthy life - because it lacks a part of the immune system that humans healthy lives depend on.
Within the last two decades, every third eider has vanished from Norwegian waters. DNA analyses of the birds can aid in the conservation of the species.
"I think more people should take the chance and join", bachelor student Maria Valente Oksvold says.
Scientists have developed a privacy-preserving artificial intelligence algorithm that can predict which patients are more likely to stop following their online therapy.
Herring bones from trading places in The Baltic Sea show that extensive trade started 400 years earlier than previously thought.
Biologists in Oslo have found out how hibernators can protect their cells from cold.
For a year and a half, the ground-penetrating radar RIMFAX has collected data on Mars. Today, the first results from the Norwegian-developed instrument on Perseverance are published, led by Scientists from University of Oslo and University of California, Los Angeles.
Fungi of the genus Trichaptum have a mating system where thousands of mating types give them a much better chance of finding a compatible partner.
Their genomes are extremely similar except from one region. This difference may explain why some Atlantic cod migrate to the Barents Sea.
Once you know how it works for one disease, immuneML can make diagnostic tools for other types of diseases as well.
Fishermen have always competed to get the biggest fish. New research show that this has a negative, long term impact on the whole ecosystem.
The landscape where the mammoths lived is often pictured as a dry, cold steppe. But this may not be true according to a new study.
Batteries are essential for a future with more renewable energy. Visit the lab where researchers are developing what might be tomorrow’s battery technology.
When lithium ions are forced rapidly through a battery, they might get stuck and turn into lithium metal, no longer able to move through the battery.
Volcanic CO2 triggered the Permian extinction 252 million years ago. “This is highly relevant to present-day climate change,” professor says.
Words change meaning almost without us noticing. Artificial intelligence can detect when and how.
New toxic chemicals can be transferred directly from mother to offspring in killer whales. The calf had not eaten anything other than his mother's milk.
