a new method to manipulate the molecular properties of liquid crystals with light exposure is now published in Advanced Materials. Liquid crystal molecules flow like a liquid, but they have a common orientation like in solids, and this orientation can change in response to stimuli. They are useful in LCD screens, biomedical imaging instruments, and other devices that require precise control of light and subtle movements.

The University of Texas at Austin is exploring a suite of natural catalysts to help produce hydrogen gas from iron-rich rocks without emitting carbon dioxide. If the scientists are successful, the project could jump-start a brand-new type of hydrogen industry: geologic hydrogen. Hydrogen is an important player in the energy transition because it does not produce CO 2 gas emissions when it’s burned for fuel.

a new neuroimaging study from Drexel University’s Creativity Research Lab is the first to reveal how the brain gets to the creative flow state. The study isolated flow-related brain activity during a creative task: jazz improvisation. The findings suggest that creative flow can be achieved by training people to release control when they have built up enough expertise in a particular domain.

Nitrogen-9 decays by first emitting one proton, generating carbon-8, then two protons, and finally two more protons. Stable isotopes make possible biological studies including tracing how substances move through the body. Long-lived radioactive isotopics enable dating on time scales ranging up to the age of the solar system. Experimentalists and theorists have now provided strong evidence for the creation of a truly exotic nucleus, nitrogen-9.

Nano Life Science Institute (WPI-NanoLSI), Kanazawa University, Japan, collaborating with Professor Sarikaya, Seattle, USA, used frequency modulated atomic force microscopy to reveal the molecular architecture of genetically designed and point mutated peptides. The amino acid sequences of proteins are coded by the genes (DNA code) of a given specialized cell. They are also composed of amino acid units, but are much shorter, ranging from 10 to 30

The Bureau of Labour Statistics predicts that healthcare employment will grow faster from 2022 to 2032, with 1.8 million openings projected each year. A healthy society thrives on a foundation of healthy communities — UTHSC realises this through its six colleges offering four undergraduate degrees, over 30 graduate or professional degrees, and various certificate programmes. This is where accredited certificate programmes come in. These certificates are emerging as a valuable way for individuals, particularly working professionals, seeking to acquire essential skills and credentials without making personal and professional sacrifices
