30-Mar-2026 Harnessing the power of spin: Pioneering innovation through cutting-edge physics Kyushu University From smartphones to supercomputers, almost all our daily electronics run on the flow of "electron charge." But did you know? Electrons have another interesting property called "spin." In this feature, we sit down with Associate Professor Yamashita, a young researcher exploring this mysterious "electron spin" to create next-generation, ultra-high-performance devices. Join us as we dive into the world of Spintronics—the future of technology—and hear his inspiring message for the students who will lead the way!

30-Mar-2026 From hegemony to multipolarity: Simon Marginson on the geopolitics reshaping global higher education ECNU Review of Education A new study in ECNU Review of Education traces the evolution of global higher education across two major geopolitical phases: the U.S.-led globalization of higher education from 1990 to 2015, and the partial deglobalization that has followed. Drawing on human geography, historical analysis, and empirical data, Simon Marginson examines how the global higher education space has been constructed and contested over time. His recently published book, Global Higher Education in Times of Upheaval, extends this inquiry into a broader critique of Anglo-American individualism and the search for a global common good. Together, the article and the book confront a defining question for our multipolar moment: How can higher education transcend narrow national interests and serve humanity as a whole?
