• Newly discovered magnetic interactions could lead to novel ways to manipulate electron flow August 18, 2022
  Newly discovered magnetic interactions in the Kagome layered topological magnet TbMn6Sn6 could be the key to customizing how electrons flow through these materials. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory conducted an in-depth investigation of TbMn6Sn6 to better understand the material and its magnetic characteristics. These results […]
• Outer space is not the 'Wild West': There are clear rules for peace and war August 18, 2022
  The release of the first images taken by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope will inspire generations with the infinite possibilities that outer space holds. Clearly, we have a responsibility to ensure that only peaceful, safe, sustainable, lawful and legitimate uses of space are undertaken for the benefit of humanity and future generations.
• Mosquito species from Asia poses growing risk to Africa's anti-malaria efforts August 18, 2022
  The spread of the mosquito species Anopheles stephensi across Africa poses a significant problem to a continent already heavily burdened by malaria. Most—90%—of the world's malaria deaths are on the continent.
• Assessing the effect of hydraulic fracturing on microearthquakes August 18, 2022
  The analysis of low-intensity human-caused microearthquakes, including their magnitude and frequency, has become an important factor in mining. This is a consideration not only for the safety of mining staff, but also for extraction rates and mine stability that can have major impacts on business performance.
• Next generation patient avatars: Expanding the possibilities with micro-organospheres August 18, 2022
  A team of scientists, led by Xiling Shen, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer, and Professor at the Terasaki Institute for Biomedical Innovation (TIBI), has reached new levels in patient model development. They have developed improved methods for generating micro-organospheres (MOS) and have shown that these MOS have superior capabilities for a variety of clinical uses. As […]
