The Justice Department is investigating Duke Law School's admissions practices for allegedly violating the Supreme Court's recent ruling against race-conscious college admissions.
Philippine police filed charges against the gun owner whose firearm was used by a minor in an August 18 school shooting at Ateneo de Zamboanga University that killed one student. Investigators found security gaps in firearm storage and school access controls but no evidence of conspiracy.
Researchers quantified thermal equilibrium in oxygen-oxygen collisions at CERN's LHC, finding that quark-gluon plasma exhibits intermediate behavior between non-equilibrated and fluid-like states.
Osaka researchers developed chiral hole-transport materials that improve perovskite solar cell efficiency to 20.64% through chirality-induced spin selectivity, revealing consistent patterns across multiple organic electronic material classes.
A California mother was arrested for vandalism after breaking a school bus window to remove her own child from the vehicle, raising questions about parental rights versus property damage laws.
A Georgia second-grade teacher established a "fart corner" stocked with Febreze to manage classroom odors, sparking debate about normalizing bodily functions versus traditional classroom decorum.
UC San Diego researchers discovered that glassfish schools coordinate by copying individual neighbors' movements in split-second intervals, not averaging group direction. Virtual reality experiments validated the pairwise interaction model.
Harvard researchers developed AGENTEX, a breakthrough method enabling protein design with up to 34 amino acids instead of nature's 20, without requiring genome modification or living cells.
A OMS estima que 11 milhões de pessoas contrairão sarampo em 2026, impulsionado pela queda na cobertura vacinal em países de baixa renda, conflitos armados e hesitação vacinal em comunidades religiosas.
A college student was fatally shot by police in Pennsylvania after entering the wrong house, according to the student's father. The incident raises questions about police protocols and use of force.
An inquest has begun into the death of Jason Arday, a former Cambridge University professor whose career was marked by plagiarism accusations and debates over diversity initiatives in academia.
South Korean researchers developed an unforgeable security technology using randomly arranged nanoparticles as artificial fingerprints, verifiable with just a smartphone flashlight. The method creates 10^184 possible cryptographic combinations, making it immune to AI and quantum computer hacking.
Researchers at Tohoku University found that stimulating the vagus nerve after training enhances long-term motor learning in mice by creating rhythmic blood-vessel changes in the brain, opening new therapeutic possibilities.
Northland schools are struggling with winter illness and staff shortages, forcing some to send classes home. Teachers work while sick due to lack of relievers, creating a cycle that spreads illness across school communities.
New research shows mice actively seek information even without reward, with distinct brain regions handling curiosity versus material gain, opening new avenues for studying cognitive processes.
Two New Zealand high schools were evacuated after potentially volatile chemicals were discovered in storage areas. Defence Force disposal teams safely detonated the substances with controlled explosions; no injuries reported.
Griffith University research shows a 20% sugar tax in Australia could prevent 3.7 million tooth decay cases and 115,000 complete tooth loss cases, while generating half a million health-adjusted life years.
Researchers developed a single-stage process using reusable stencils to deposit carbon nanotube patterns without material waste, reducing costs and enabling integration into optical and electronic devices.
A 22-year-old Pennsylvania college student was fatally shot by police after accidentally knocking on the wrong house door while trying to find friends. His parents question why deadly force was used immediately without alternatives.
A major review finds nicotine e-cigarettes are more effective than patches or gum for quitting smoking, helping four additional people per 100 achieve cessation, though researchers note important caveats.
Iowa faces a measles surge with multiple counties reporting cases. A Pizza Ranch location in Ottumwa was identified as a potential exposure site, causing business disruption as health officials urge vaccination.
KAIST researchers developed a light-based security technology using nanoparticle fingerprints that can be authenticated with a smartphone flashlight and laser pointer, offering practical anti-counterfeiting solutions for electronics and luxury goods.
NC State University joins a $160M NSF-backed regional initiative to develop biobased products from switchgrass and miscanthus for automotive, construction, and packaging markets while creating rural jobs.
Harvard physicists have developed a method using sound waves to both transmit and protect quantum information, preventing decoherence in electron spins through acoustic 'dressing' of qubits.
Pesquisadores de Harvard conseguem manter organoides cerebrais vivos por 5 anos, observando fases avançadas do desenvolvimento cerebral humano e abrindo caminho para estudos de doenças neurológicas.
