Researchers have created dynamic structures that leap into the air on a predetermined schedule without intervention from computers or external stimuli. Precisely when these “metashells” jump, and how high they jump, is engineered into the physical structure of the materials.

Flooding in coastal communities is happening far more often than previously thought, according to a new study from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The study also found major flaws with the widely used approach of using marine water level data to capture instances of flooding.

A new study finds that when high-end retailers open "off-price" stores, which sell less expensive merchandise, it reduces customer spending at their flagship "full-line" stores—but increases customer spending at their online stores. The paper, "The Effects of Off-Price Store Opening on the Incumbent Channels of a Multichannel Retailer: Full-Line Stores Versus Online Store," is published in the Journal of Marketing Research.

New research finds that the more compassionate people are, the better able they are to deal with broken promises in the workplace. Specifically, the study suggests that compassion makes employees tougher: more emotionally resilient, higher performing, and less likely to seek new work when they feel their employer has broken a promise to them.

Horse flies are the most diverse group of blood-feeding animals on Earth. But why do horse flies bite people? How do they track us down? And are they dangerous? Whether you call them horse flies, greenheads, or deer flies, these insects are all part of the family Tabanidae – which consists of approximately 4,450 described species; fewer than 400 are found in the U.S.Why Do Horse Flies Bite People? All horse flies have two things in common that make them a pain (literally).
