Scientists just changed the nature of matter with a flash of light
Researchers in Konstanz discovered a way to manipulate materials with light by exciting magnon pairs, reshaping their magnetic “fingerprint.” This allows non-thermal control of magnetic states and data transmission at terahertz speeds. Using simple haematite crystals, the technique could enable…
Japanese scientists unveil a quantum battery that defies energy loss
A team of researchers has designed a theoretical model for a topological quantum battery capable of long-distance energy transfer and immunity to dissipation. By exploiting topological properties in photonic waveguides, they showed that energy loss can not only be prevented…
MIT scientists discover hidden 3D genome loops that survive cell division
MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while chromosomes condense. These loops may explain the brief surge of gene activity that occurs…
Misinformation was rife during the 2025 Australia election. New research shows many were unable to identify it
Misinformation has become a routine part of daily life, shaping public discourse and distorting perceptions. A new report reveals that in the two weeks prior to the 2025 federal election, almost two-thirds (60%) of adults reported coming across election misinformation.…
Through role-play learning, a neurodivergent student found work practicum success
When students move from university course work to real-world applications like internships, practicums or clinical placements, it’s not just about what they know, but how they use what they know.
1 in 3 US nonprofits that serve communities lost government funding in early 2025
About one-third of U.S. nonprofit service providers experienced a disruption in their government funding in the first half of 2025.
How gastronomy tourism evolved into international identity and cultural diplomacy
When people travel, they aren’t just looking for historic sights—they’re also looking for new flavors that captivate and connect them to the place they’re visiting.
Children should have a right to play in the streets, alleys, pavements and car parks of their neighborhoods
In July 2025, a letter from an English city council neighborhood services officer circulated on social media.
Africa’s air links are poor: Can the G20 push for more direct flights to improve tourism and trade?
In Africa, less than one in five continental airline routes are direct. Air connections are decided by factors like trade levels, diplomatic relations, and whether there’s enough demand to make a route financially worthwhile. Because there are so few direct…
