Kelp forests more influenced by frequency of natural disturbances, not severity

Giant kelp forests — those ethereal, swaying columns of seaweed found in the intermediate to deep water zones of cooler coasts along the Pacific Ocean and Southern Hemisphere — provide habitat for a variety of species that spend their lives in kelp's canopies or at the rocky bottoms.

Increase in size, frequency of ocean storms a threat to global fisheries

Fishermen around the world will face an influx of larger, more powerful ocean storms, new research suggested.

Low frequency brain stimulation improves cognition in Parkinson's disease

A multidisciplinary neuroscience study using rare, intraoperative brain recordings suggested that low frequency stimulation of a deep brain region may be able to improve cognitive function in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

High-frequency chip brings researchers closer to next generation technology

Novel, high-frequency electronic chip potentially capable of transmitting tens of gigabits of data per second — a rate that is orders of magnitude above the fastest internet speeds available today — has been developed by engineers at the University of California, Davis.
