The study of open-shell molecules, particularly those with high-spin ground states, has unveiled significant potential in organic electronics and magnetism. These molecules, characterized by unpaired electrons, exhibit unique properties such as long spin lifetimes and weak spin-orbit coupling, making them promising candidates for advanced technologies. The study of open-shell molecules, particularly those with high-spin ground states,…
Technicians lift NASA’s Orion spacecraft out of the Final Assembly and System Testing cell on June 28, 2024. The integrated spacecraft, which will be used for the Artemis II mission to orbit the moon, has been undergoing final rounds of testing and assembly, including end-to-end performance verification of its subsystems and checking for leaks in…
Rugging up against winter chills is a cozy and easy option for most of us. But our crops are facing frosts and freezing temperatures without the warmth of winter woolies. Frost poses a significant threat to agriculture, particularly in Australia’s wheatbelt regions. Rugging up against winter chills is a cozy and easy option for most of…

People in the UK love discussing the weather. For the first two weeks of June 2024, the cold, dull conditions were all they could talk about. Major news outlets like the BBC, The Guardian, Daily Mail and Daily Telegraph all carried stories on this theme. People in the UK love discussing the weather. For the first…
When people talk about animal parents, often they are thinking about mothers. But the role of fathers in the animal kingdom is fascinating—and can tell us a lot about ourselves.

Logically speaking, you would think that animals who appeared to be the same—even if they were found in different parts of the world—would belong to the same species, and that they would share the same genome. However, our recent study has found that this is not always the case. Logically speaking, you would think that animals…
