Scientists are excited about narrowband fluorescent emitters for making super-clear organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays. They've found a new way to make these green light emitters better. The key is a special molecule design, known as the centrosymmetric dianilido-bipyridine boron difluorid
Imagine you lost a leg, and now need a prosthetic socket to walk again. The fit has to be just right – not too tight, not too loose. But how do we know what’s "just right"? A recent study in Australia set out to find out. Researchers chatted with people who’ve lost a lower limb, asking about their e
This Christmas morning, Ukraine woke up to a harsh reality. Russia unleashed a wave of missiles and drones targeting the country's energy infrastructure. The attack was so massive that it included 78 missiles and 106 drones, according to Ukraine's air force. The strikes hit several regions, includin
You won't believe what happened in Kings County, California! A town of around 26, 000 people just hit the jackpot on Christmas Eve. Someone bought a Mega Millions ticket at Save Mart in Lemoore and matched all five numbers—11, 14, 38, 45, 46—but missed the Mega Ball. Still, they won over $1. 7 milli
Imagine tiny plastic particles, smaller than a grain of sand, scattered throughout the soil. These microplastics, or MPs, are becoming a big issue worldwide. Soil is like a long-term storage box for MPs because they find their way in through various routes and take a long time to break down. It's im
Scientists are always on the hunt for better ways to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. This time, they've designed special Ru-B-Cr parts within RuO₂ nanofibers to make the Ru sites more active. This overcomes the hurdles of RuO₂ catalysts, which usually aren't very good at producing hydrogen and
Imagine searching for something in a super crowded place. Over time, you get better at spotting it because you remember where it usually is. But what if the clues aren't always right? That's exactly what researchers looked into. They found that the more reliable the clues (like, how often they point
A man from Guatemala, Sebastian Zapeta, is facing serious charges after a woman died in a fire on a New York City subway train. Prosecutors say Zapeta used a shirt to fan the flames, causing the woman's death. The attack happened on an F train stopped at the Coney Island station. Zapeta, who is accu
It's been a while since the lawsuit between Division I college athletes and the NCAA started. Sedona Prince from Texas Christian University and Grant House from Arizona State University kicked things off in 2020. They wanted Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) rights and for the NCAA to remove restricti
Did you know that how well researchers understand and feel about lab animal science can really impact the quality of their work? It's true! But not all researchers have the right knowledge or attitudes for this kind of work. This can be due to different educational backgrounds. So, a team in Iran de
