Exploring the ocean depths: FIU scientists descend to world’s deepest hydrothermal vents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nearly three miles beneath the Caribbean Sea, there is no sunlight. The pressure is crushing. And superheated, chemical-rich water pours from cracks in the seafloor. Yet shrimp find their way there, by the millions. How they do it is a mystery. FIU marine scientist Heather Bracken-Grissom recently returned from a month-long expedition in the Caribbean where she explored the deepest hydrothermal vents in the world. She was accompanied by FIU postdoctoral scientist Danielle DeLeo and graduate stud
Chemists uncover how unthinkable reactions occur in unimaginable conditions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before there was Earth, there was chemistry. In the unimaginable cold, dark clouds where stars and planets are born, carbon molecules assemble into more complex forms — starting a chemical journey that could eventually deliver some of life’s basic ingredients to young planets. There’s only one problem — these molecules need heat to form. At least that’s what scientists have long believed. But new research from FIU chemist Alexander Mebel reveals such chemistry can actually happen at temperatures
Simple farming changes boost wheat yields in drought-prone areas (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In drought-prone regions of Ethiopia, growing more food could start with something as simple as keeping more rainwater in the ground. New research co-authored by FIU Earth and Environment professor Assefa Melesse found that changing how farmers plow and protect their fields can help prevent precious rainwater — and the fertile soil and nutrients it carries — from washing away. The result — healthier soil and, for the crop studied in this research, bigger wheat harvests. Researchers spent three g
Can math prove that Humpty Dumpty was simply mismanaged? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Humpty Dumpty had all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, but it wasn’t enough to put him back together again. Which begs the question, how many horses and men did he actually need? That question — how much is enough to guarantee success — gets at the heart of new research by a team of mathematicians including FIU Ph.D. student Justin Wisby. They are studying Ramsey theory. It is an area of extremal graph theory, mathematics that searches for the minimum or maximum needed to guarantee a pa
Goo goo ga ga is more than just baby talk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Before babies learn to speak, they’re having actual conversations with their parents, whether the parents realize it or not. A coo. A babble. A squeal. Inevitably, an adult will make noises back or respond with baby talk. A higher pitch. Exaggerated intonation. In those moments of back-and-forth vocalizations, the responders are training the baby to converse, according to new research co-authored by Martha Pelaez, professor of Education at Florida International University. Rather than something
