Two young brothers and their cousin were wandering through a fossil-rich stretch of the North Dakota badlands when they stumbled across a T. rex bone poking out of the ground. The trio announced their discovery publicly as workers at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science prepare to begin chipping the fossil out of its…

In recent years, significant strides to enhance the functionality and adaptability of devices have been taken in the field of optoelectronics. Now, a team of scientists from State Key Laboratory of Supramolecular Structure and Materials, College of Chemistry, Jilin University, have reported a breakthrough in the development of organic flexible optoelectronic devices using acicular organic…
Slowing down the pace may not be common in academia, but it could lead to better science to support our planet through the current climate, biodiversity and social justice crises. This is one approach suggested by a diverse group of marine conservation scientists who were brought together in 2021 by the COMPASS Leaders for Sea…

Entering the Anthropocene, humans are confronted with a grim yet peculiar state of increasing natural landscapes inching closer to extinction. Notably, the Aral Sea retains a mere 10% of its original volume, highlighting the urgency of the situation.

The effective conversion from fossil fuel-based to renewable energy sources requires cost-efficient, high-capacity, rechargeable batteries. Zinc-air batteries (ZAB) can theoretically store large amounts of energy, but current technologies require the use of expensive noble metal catalysts, or agents that speed a chemical reaction, that underperform in charging and discharging reactions. The effective conversion from fossil fuel-based…
A recent study by Joseph-Simon Görlach of Bocconi University, Milan, in collaboration with Marco Alfano of Lancaster University, has highlighted the severe consequences of terrorism on education in Kenya. The paper, titled “Terrorism and Education: Evidence from Instrumental Variables Estimators,” published in the Journal of Applied Econometrics, uses an innovative approach to analyze the effect…
