A study published in the journal Management Science reveals that unlimited mobile data plans may be a key solution to reducing digital inequality. The research shows that low-income and rural households benefit the most when data caps are removed—particularly in their ability to access educational content. A study published in the journal Management Science reveals that…
Researchers from the Department of Physics have managed to experimentally develop a new magnetic state: a magneto-ionic vortex or “vortion.” The research, published in Nature Communications, allows for an unprecedented level of control of magnetic properties at the nanoscale and at room temperature, and opens new horizons for the development of advanced magnetic devices. Researchers from…
A team led by a member of Tokyo Metropolitan University has made advances in the search for dark matter, observing galaxies using new spectrographic technology and the Magellan Clay Telescope. With a mere four hours of observations, precise measurements in the infrared range have set new limits on the lifetime of dark matter. A team led…
We have developed a breakthrough method to convert carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) from vehicular emissions into high-performance electrocatalysts. This innovation provides a sustainable approach to pollution management and energy production by repurposing harmful particulate matter into valuable materials for renewable energy applications. We have developed a breakthrough method to convert carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) from vehicular emissions into…
A new study published in Gender, Place & Culture has highlighted stark differences in the ways men and women perceive safety in public spaces, with men largely unaware of the tension women experience from non-criminal harassment.

Materials are known to interact with electromagnetic fields in different ways, which reflect their structures and underlying properties. The Lyddane-Sachs-Teller relation is a physics construct that describes the relationship between a material’s static and dynamic dielectric constant (i.e., values indicating a system’s behavior in the presence or absence of an external electric field, respectively) and…

As dog ownership continues to rise, the need for effective training solutions and a better understanding of dogs’ welfare needs has become increasingly important. Behavioral problems in dogs can bring major welfare concerns for both dogs and their owners and, in the worst possible cases, can lead to relinquishment or euthanasia of the animal. As dog…
