More evidence doesn't mean more justice: The limits of visual technologies in human rights cases
Body cameras, satellites and digital verification tools are generating more evidence of violence than ever before. But the institutions responsible for deliveri...
Light switch for life: Controlling molecular droplets with UV
Biomolecular condensates are tiny, droplet-like structures made up of molecules that help organize key processes in living organisms. Because they are so small...
Money worries and job dissatisfaction drove Europe's populist boom, research suggests
While immigration is often blamed for the rise of populism, it was cost of living and male job dissatisfaction that played a major role in the European surge in...
Improved carp boosts profits by 25% in Bangladesh's polyculture ponds
A selectively bred carp strain is boosting productivity and profits across polyculture ponds in Bangladesh, improving overall pond performance in smallholder sy...
NASA wants to build a base on the Moon by the 2030s, How and why it plans to build up to a long‑term lunar presence
The next U.S. trip to the moon isn't about planting a flag. It's about learning how to live and work there. NASA has just reset its Artemis program, marking a c...
Gut bacteria may influence social behavior through smell
In a new study, Northwestern University neurobiologists discovered that gut bacteria and the nose work together to shape social behavior in mice, including who...
A flesh‑eating fly is advancing towards the US border—can it be stopped?
A flesh-eating parasitic fly has spread north through Mexico to within a few hundred miles of the U.S. southern border. The New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hom...
With history standards prone to politicization, 'minimalism' approach would benefit U.S. teachers, scholar argues
The practice of states revising standards for how their schools teach history is developing a storied and often contentious history of its own. A University of...
Strained liquid crystals steer soliton 'bullets' along two diagonal paths
In physics, some waves behave in a surprising way: instead of spreading out and fading, they hold their shape as they travel at constant speeds. These unusual w...
Unexpected potential bacterial symbiosis found in fungus that causes angular leaf spot
Scientists have uncovered an unexpected microbial relationship that could help explain differences in the severity of a major disease affecting common beans. Th...
Next-generation optical sensor can read photon spin across UV-to-infrared wavelengths
