Overcoming the algorithmic gender bias in AI‑driven personal finance
Artificial intelligence is transforming our world and financial services are no exception. AI is reshaping the personal banking sector, but where does it curren...
From smoking to stigma: How screen stories influence health
What people see on screen can shape what they do off it. When actors such as James Dean and Marlon Brando lit cigarettes in 1950s rebel films, smoking came to s...
Twisting water reveals hidden order across four molecular layers at air-water interface
Researchers from the Department of Physical Chemistry at the Fritz Haber Institute and Freie Universität Berlin have revealed the arrangement of water molecules...
Why real-time teamwork dashboards can backfire instead of improving collaboration
As digital tools become more common in teamwork, many organizations hope they can help teams collaborate more effectively. But a new study suggests that some us...
Integrated land planning could ease food, energy and biodiversity conflicts worldwide
While the world is a big place, humans are making greater and greater demands on the same areas of land. "This means that, unless we use the same land to serve...
DAMPE satellite reveals cosmic rays share spectral break near 15 teravolts
A century after their discovery, cosmic rays—particles of extreme energy originating from the far reaches of the universe—remain a mystery to scientists. The DA...
How temperature swings impact the growth of young songbirds
Climate change threatens to cause increasingly extreme and variable temperature swings, affecting everything from urban infrastructure to global food supplies....
A longstanding quantum roadblock just fell, opening existing fiber networks to ultra-secure light signals
Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have broken a longstanding barrier by managing to send single photons—that can't be copied or split and thus are secure—...
Optical design unlocks direct Raman detection of ångström-scale ultrathin molecular layers at interfaces
Conventional spontaneous Raman spectroscopy of interfacial molecules typically requires plasmonic or electronic enhancement, limiting accessible systems. A nonl...
Why Kamchatka's magnitude 8.8 earthquake brought a smaller tsunami—and where risk may remain
On July 29, 2025, a magnitude 8.8 earthquake occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. It was so powerful that it ranks as the sixth-largest earthquake ever record...
Tiny fossil shells hold two chemical signals that could skew past ocean temperatures
Tiny plankton shells used to reconstruct past polar ocean temperatures may contain two different chemical stories, a new study by iC3 researchers has found. The...
Single-vesicle profiling could push liquid biopsies toward everyday clinical use
Extracellular vesicles, or EVs, are tiny membrane-bound particles released by nearly all cells. They carry proteins, RNA, lipids, and other biological cargo tha...
