A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this ...

Nearly three-quarters of biomedical researchers think there is a reproducibility crisis in science, according to a survey published in November. The leading cause cited for that crisis was “pressure ...

A 2016 survey by the journal Nature put stark numbers to the scope of science’s reproducibility problems. More than 70% of researchers across STEM fields said they’d tried and failed to replicate ...

Physics is in a crisis. Over the past year, a series of research papers claimed to find evidence for high-temperature superconductors – materials that conduct electricity without losses, which could ...

A meadow grasshopper (Pseudochorthippus parallelus). This species is widespread across most of Europe and is commonly used as a model organism in evolutionary biology. If an experiment is repeated ...
