Scientists unlock new way to engineer next-generation glass
Scientists have adapted a centuries-old principle of chemistry to fine-tune a new type of glass made from metal–organic frameworks (MOFs)—metal atoms connected...
Symmetry says these crystal vibrations can never mix, but an exotic quantum phase rewrites the rules
Symmetry is one of the most fundamental principles in nature. It describes the rules that make an object look unchanged after a rotation, reflection, or other t...
Wars destroy lives and the climate. Why aren't we counting military emissions?
When delegates gathered for COP30 in Belém, Brazil in November 2025, they scrutinized various sectors of the global economy for their contributions to rising gr...
How 'digital twins' could help predict the fate of a forest
In his office at Michigan State University, forestry professor David Carter shows off an image of a virtual forest on his laptop. It's not just any forest. It's...
Magnon lifetime extended 100x paves the way for mini quantum computers
Magnons are tiny waves in magnetization that travel through solid magnetic materials, much like the ripples that spread across a pond when a stone is thrown int...
Mathematical framework solves asteroid route planning exactly for first time
A new publication from Bielefeld University sets a benchmark in optimization research. Together with an international team, Professor Michael Römer from the Fac...
How should schools teach AI? Three models to consider
Students across Canada are exposed to artificial intelligence (AI) whether through search engines, writing assistants, automated recommendation systems, or soci...
Time-varying magnetic fields can engineer exotic quantum matter
Quantum technology has promising potential to revolutionize how large and complex amounts of information are processed. While already in use primarily in labora...
Louisiana's shrinking coast may offer world early guide to climate adaptation
A Tulane University-led team of interdisciplinary researchers says coastal Louisiana's climate-driven land loss and population shifts could position the state t...
Social media use may reflect stress relief and belonging more than habit
There is an assumption that social media use is mainly habitual or driven by addiction-like mechanisms, but findings published in the International Journal of E...
Climate change is rewriting winter lakes in a way that looks completely backward at first glance
Climate change undoubtedly affects lakes and the functioning of their ecosystems, but seasonal impacts are not always straightforward. An international team of...
Beam-splitting approach reveals hidden changes in vitamin B12
Researchers at European XFEL have developed a way to study liquid samples that are too dilute for many existing X-ray experiments. The method is highly sensitiv...
