Theoretical physicists at AIMR have identified conditions under which the geometric contribution to adiabatic amplification becomes path-independent in non-Hermitian quantum systems. Their framework, grounded in non-Hermitian Berry phase theory, reveals that the Petermann factor governs this behavior—offering both new geometric insights and a practical route to measuring this quantity experimentally.

Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they have also designed a new drug to stop this overfiring, which could potentially slow or stop the disease from progressing.

Naturally shed baby teeth may hold the key to understanding how early-life environments shape health. In a new doctoral study at the University of Bergen, Norway, researchers show that primary teeth preserve a detailed biological record of exposures durin

“No one is free until we are all free” – this phrase by Jürgen Habermas set the theme for a symposium held on Friday in honor of the philosopher and sociologist, who passed away in March. Leading scholars from around the world gathered to reflect on Habermas’ intellectual legacy and discuss the future of Critical Theory. The event was organized by Goethe University’s Normative Orders Research Centre in cooperation with Suhrkamp Publishing House. It complemented the memorial service held earlier that day at Frankfurt’s Paulskirche, organized by the City of Frankfurt together with Goethe University and Suhrkamp. German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier delivered the keynote address. 

Henna Konu has been appointed Professor of Tourism Business at the University of Eastern Finland.

The Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM, President Seog-Hyeon Ryu) announced that a research team led by Dr. Hanmin Lee, head of the Department of Industrial Machinery DX under KIMM’s Virtual Engineering Platform Research Division, has developed fundamental technologies for four key components of next-generation rotorcraft power transmission systems: clutches, gears, housings and bearings.

Researchers from Florida International University have discovered that certain visual-language AI models can be manipulated via subtly manipulated images. 

Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville are investigating short-range proton-neutron pairings inside atomic nuclei. By studying how these “nuclear couples” behave, Assistant Professor Dien Nguyen aims to clarify how nuclei are organized and how they decay, helping physicists better understand the forces and structures underlying matter.

As the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) gears up for this month’s administrative hearing on the fate of federal marijuana legalization, a UNLV Cannabis Policy Institute expert explains how two pieces of legislation may impact marijuana research, sales, transport, and consumption in Nevada and beyond.
