Thomas Haigh, a historian of computer technology, is tracing the history of personal computers and their impact on society. He found that despite the initial hype around computers in the 1950s, businesses and employees continued to face similar challenges, such as figuring out how to use new gadgets and processes.
A recent study found that current food labeling leads to under-consumption of calcium, a crucial nutrient for osteoporosis prevention. Researchers discovered that consumers struggle to translate %DV to milligrams, and even doctors often make incorrect calculations. However, providing simple guidelines can help individuals better naviga...
Researchers at UWM are collaborating with PhysioGenix Inc. to investigate a novel animal model for diseases like depression and ADHD. The consomic rats, developed by MCW, have already shown promise in studying cardiovascular disease and hypertension.
UWM researchers have devised a method for creating hybrid structures by coating CNTs with aerosol nanoparticles, producing low-cost
A recent study by UWM paleoecologist Margaret Fraiser suggests that elevated CO2 levels contributed to the Permian-Triassic mass extinction, with bivalves emerging as the only survivors. The research provides valuable insights into the impact of CO2 on marine ecosystems and could help scientists predict future oceanic changes.
A new study confirms the US Census Bureau provided information on persons of Japanese ancestry to US surveillance agencies during WWII. The researchers call for the bureau to disavow its denials and set the record straight.
A recent study analyzes the genome of Cytophaga hutchinsonii, a bacterium that efficiently breaks down cellulose. The research suggests a possible connection between motility and cellulose digestion, which could lead to more efficient conversion of cellulose into ethanol for bioenergy production.
Researchers studying bumblebee behavior have found that the bees' foraging patterns can predict successful seed production. The team has developed an unparalleled data set by testing various combinations of plant species on their reproductive patterns, revealing that adjacent flowers differ markedly in their mating patterns.
Using advanced imaging techniques, a physicist at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is uncovering new insights into how surfaces interact with contaminants and toxic substances. By detecting molecular vibrations and analyzing electron behavior, she aims to develop new ways to monitor and control air pollution.
