Scientists measure hidden quantum forces that could power a new generation of pharmaceutic

It's one thing to design a pharmaceutical drug. It's another to know if and why it actually works; not on paper or in a computer model, but inside the chaotic world of living systems, where proteins twist into shape, atoms constantly pull and push each other apart, and molecular

Laser pulses capture unexplored polaronic states

In an international experiment, researchers observed Jahn–Teller polarons—quasiparticles that could play an important role in future ultrafast spintronic devices. These polarons emerged within the crystal lattice of cobalt oxide that had been activated by carefully tailored laser

Plankton-linked vapors could speed cloud seed formation over cold oceans

For nearly 50 years, scientists have suspected that microscopic marine plankton play a role in cloud formation over the oceans. Now, an experiment led by the University of Helsinki suggests that it may be more important than previously thought. The findings are published in the j

Integration could be key to computational thinking in students

Training in computational thinking can improve a student's ability to tackle complex problems, according to research in the International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning, which examined both students' perceptions of their own skills and their demonstrated performance. The

Microscale hydrogel fibers could enable imaging inside tiny tissue structures

Researchers have developed light-transmitting hydrogel fibers that are just hundreds of micrometers in diameter. With further development, these soft fibers could one day make it possible to use imaging techniques to detect early breast cancer hidden inside very small breast duct

How to manage public investment in science with balance

Public debt is higher today and growing at a faster rate than before the pandemic in 80% of the world's economies. According to the latest fiscal report from the International Monetary Fund, global public debt could rise to 100% of GDP by the end of this decade if it continues to

Earth may have been seeding Venus with life for billions of years

A new study suggests Earth may have been sending tiny hitchhikers to Venus for billions of years. Researchers found that asteroid impacts could launch microbes into space, where some might survive the journey and end up suspended in Venus' clouds. If future missions detect life t

Grade inflation in pandemic strengthened university prospects for private school and disad

The first empirical evidence of how A-level grading in the pandemic affected university applications corroborates concerns about disproportionate benefits for private schools. Disadvantaged students also benefited, however, and the long-term effects for these groups could provide

Moderate harmful algal bloom predicted for western Lake Erie. Could impact coastal recreat

NOAA and its research partners are forecasting a moderate harmful algal bloom (HAB) in western Lake Erie this summer. This year's bloom is expected to measure 3.5 on the HAB severity index, with a potential range of 3 to 4.5. Experts from NOAA and their government and academic pa

Global rice paddy greenhouse gas emissions have doubled during the past six decades, study

Rice paddy greenhouse gas emissions have doubled during the past 60 years—but practical farm changes could cut methane emissions and support global climate targets without reducing food production, a team led by Boston College scientists reports in the journal Nature Food.
