Electric double layer unlocks molecular switch behind battery and hydrogen reactions
From smartphone charging to hydrogen production, the fundamental principles of energy technology have been revealed. Korean researchers have, for the first time...
Denmark's 'hands‑off' approach to parenting could offer a blueprint for raising more resilient, self‑reliant kids
Much has been written about Denmark's consistently high scores in global happiness rankings, so it might not come as a surprise that Denmark is also rated the b...
No more guesswork in drug design—atomic-resolution method exposes what trial and error keep missing
Drug discovery still too often relies on expensive trial and error. Researchers from ICTER show there is another way—building molecules step by step and observi...
The COVID‑19 pandemic exposed the load mothers carry—a burden that's still being ignored today
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated and brought into focus the ongoing disproportionate burden on mothers when it comes to household logistics, child care and fin...
Why keeping collaborative remote work environment options open is key for business innovation
At a time when remote work is increasingly up for debate among companies, it remains an often underestimated lever for fostering open innovation. This article e...
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...
