Influencers who frequently switch between emotions during livestreams may attract more likes and comments, but they are likely to sell fewer products, according to new research from QUT. Published in the Journal of the Academy of Marketing Science, the research…
Silent neutron stars at the center of supernova blast sites may actually be whispering softly, following the detection of faint radio emissions coming from one such object for the first time. The discovery raises the prospect that there could be…
Research from the University of St. Andrews is challenging conventional assumptions about the relationship between politics and entrepreneurship. The study explored whether the political environment in which people live influences their likelihood of starting a business, and its findings reveal…
A new article by scholars Jennifer L. James, Ph.D., Karen Myers, DNP, and Olivia Miller, M.A., in the Journal of Educators Online, titled “Studying Faculty Perceptions of Rigor in Online College Courses: Compromising or Accommodating?” examines how faculty perceive academic…
Social enterprises help communities thrive, but founder well-being is critical to sustaining their impact, UC research finds. Social enterprises create jobs, encourage ethical consumption, and address social and environmental challenges.
Researchers from the Coller School of Management at Tel Aviv University examined the Ministry of Economy’s flagship “Israel’s Basket” initiative and found that although it substantially reduced the prices of the 100 products included in the program, these reductions were…
Three years before the skyscraper-size asteroid Apophis makes its very close (but safe) flyby of Earth, scientists have already begun charting exactly when and where billions of people can watch it sweep across the sky. Speaking at an “Apophis T-3…
Researchers discovered that artificial streetlights can trap thousands of woodlice in mesmerizing circular “death spirals” never before seen in the wild. The surprising finding suggests that light pollution may be unintentionally altering the behavior of even the smallest ground-dwelling animals.
A strange “chirping” signal from a distant supernova has revealed the birth of a magnetar, confirming that these incredibly magnetic neutron stars can power the universe’s brightest stellar explosions. The discovery also marks the first time Einstein’s general relativity has…
Researchers have identified a previously overlooked mechanism of brain cell death that appears to play a major role in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. The finding could lead to new treatments aimed at slowing neuron loss by interrupting the process…
