By editing the polymers of discarded plastics, chemists at the Department of Energy鈥檚 Oak Ridge National Laboratory have found a way to generate new macromolecules with more valuable properties than those of the starting material.
As schools grapple with smartphone bans, chronic absenteeism, and debates over curriculum, the impact on students, teachers, and families continues to grow. This compelling discussion with Binghamton University faculty explores the pros and cons of phone-free classrooms, the cost of absenteeism, and the role of community schools.
A first-of-its-kind study found subtle, but distinct vowel pronunciations in Pacific Islanders attending more diverse schools in Utah compared to students in a predominately white high school, confirming the theory that groups to differentiate along ethnic lines where more groups share the same social space.
In a new study, Yale researchers tracked the initial metabolic response to a pair of cancer mutations that are typically tolerated in skin.
This panoramic view of the Andromeda galaxy, located 2.5 million light-years away, is the largest photomosaic ever assembled from Hubble Space Telescope observations. It took more than 10 years to collect data to make this vast and colorful portrait of the galaxy, built from more than 600 overlapping snapshots. This stunning mosaic captures the pinpoint glow of 200 million stars spread across 2.5 billion pixels.
The large nerve cord running down each octopus arm is separated into segments, giving it precise control over movements and creating a spatial map of its suckers.
By combining data from the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys and the Gemini South telescope, astronomers have investigated three ultra-faint dwarf galaxies that reside in a region of space isolated from the environmental influence of larger objects. The galaxies, located in the direction of NGC 300, were found to contain only very old stars, supporting the theory that events in the early Universe cut star formation short in the smallest galaxies.
Opening the door to two decades of Nokia鈥檚 inner workings, a new online portal brings never-before-seen material to the public 鈥� from the raw ideas behind iconic designs to the concepts that never left the drawing board.

In an unprecedented new study in the journal Cell Reports, scientists led by Read Montague of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute have shown neurotransmitters in the human brain are released while processing of the emotional content of language, providing new understanding into how people interpret the significance of words.
UW researchers have developed IRIS, a smart ring that allows users to point and click to control smart devices. The prototype Bluetooth ring contains a small camera which sends an image of the selected device to the user鈥檚 phone. The user can control the device clicking a small button or 鈥� for devices with gradient controls, such as a speaker鈥檚 volume 鈥� rotating the ring.
Facing high employee turnover and an aging population, nursing homes have increasingly turned to robots to complete a variety of care tasks, but few researchers have explored how these technologies impact workers and the quality of care. A new study from a University of Notre Dame expert on the future of work finds that robot use is associated with increased employment and employee retention, improved productivity and a higher quality of care.
Nitrogen is an essential component in the production of amino acids and nucleic acids 鈥� both necessary for cell growth and function. Atmospheric nitrogen must first be 鈥渇ixed鈥� into a form that can be used by plants. There are only two ways of fixing nitrogen, one industrial and one biological.
Keck Medicine of USC is participating in a national, multisite clinical trial examining if a water vapor system that uses small, targeted amounts of steam to kill cancer cells is a safe and effective treatment for prostate cancer.
