Exploring chaos on the nanometer scale
Chaotic behavior is typically known from large systems: for example, from weather, from asteroids in space that are simultaneously attracted by several large celestial bodies, or from swinging pendulums that are coupled together. On the atomic scale,.....»»

Laser-based 3D printing: A powerful tool to advance optical microscopy
Today, optical microscopy is one of the most widely used methods in various multidisciplinary fields for inspecting objects, organisms, or surfaces on a small scale. However, its lateral resolution is fundamentally limited by the diffraction of light.....»»
Exploring three frontiers in marine biomass and blue carbon capture
A new study offers first-time insights into three emerging climate innovations to safeguard or increase the carbon naturally captured by ocean and coastal ecosystems: rapid interventions to save the Great Barrier Reef, satellite-tracked kelp beds in.....»»
Enhancing green hydrogen production with robust carbon fabric electrocatalysts
A technology has been developed to address the limitations of current catalyst electrodes, resulting in the production of green hydrogen on a large scale and at a relatively low cost. The development is reported in the Journal of the American Chemica.....»»

Butts, breasts, and genitals now explicitly allowed on Elon Musk’s X
It remains unclear if X can detect nonconsensual sex images at scale. Enlarge (credit: Aurich Lawson | Getty Images) Adult content has always proliferated on Twitter, but the platform now called X recently clarified its.....»»
A framework to construct quantum spherical codes
To reliably perform complex, large-scale calculations, computing systems rely on so-called error correction schemes, techniques designed to protect information against errors. These techniques are perhaps even more essential when it comes to quantum.....»»
Superconducting circuit for qubit control within large-scale quantum computer systems successfully demonstrated
In support of the development of large-scale superconducting quantum computers, researchers with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), one of the largest public research organizations in Japan, in collaboration.....»»
Fake iPhone return scam cost Apple $12 million in losses, five people charged of fraud
We have seen these kind of scams before, but this particularly case is on a ginormous industry-like scale. Five people have been charged on counts of fraud for their involvement in a fake iPhone return scheme. Essentially, people would take near-w.....»»
Shear genius: Researchers find way to scale up wonder material, which could do wonders for the Earth
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science have figured out how to take a miracle material, one capable of extracting value from captured carbon dioxide, and do what no one else has: make it practical to fabri.....»»
Exploring political connections of emerging market multinationals: Opportunities and challenges
Emerging market multinational corporations (EMNCs) have been in the headlines recently due to TikTok's travails in the United States. The US Senate voted in late April to ban TikTok in the United States if its owner, the Chinese tech firm ByteDance,.....»»
A new way to see viruses in action: Super-resolution microscopy provides a nano-scale look
A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced microscopy techniques, the researchers produced what m.....»»
Tsunami sands help scientists assess Cascadia earthquake models
To better understand the scale of past earthquakes and tsunamis, scientists often use earthquake modeling or turn to evidence the tsunamis leave behind, such as sand deposits......»»
NASA releases new high-quality, near real-time air quality data
NASA has made new data available that can provide air pollution observations at unprecedented resolutions—down to the scale of individual neighborhoods. The near real-time data comes from the agency's TEMPO (Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Po.....»»
Exploring hierarchy in dynamic environments
Most organizations operate under command hierarchies: Workers, who know the ground reality, report to managers, who know the big picture. If these views conflict, what happens to organizational performance?.....»»
Study suggests faster decomposition rates in waterways could exacerbate greenhouse gas emissions, threaten biodiversity
Humans may be accelerating the rate at which organic matter decomposes in rivers and streams on a global scale, according to a new study from the University of Georgia, Oakland University and Kent State University......»»
