Researchers at AIMR demonstrated that the quantum metric, a hidden property of electronic states, can be measured and controlled under ambient conditions. Using a Mn₃Sn/Pt heterostructure with engineered interfacial spin textures, they revealed a robust second-order Hall effect, opening new pathways for topological electronics and quantum-geometry–based devices.

Research by Assistant Professor Jacob S. Suissa at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is revealing complexity in how ferns have evolved. 

UCF is welcoming two internationally known aerospace medicine experts to help expand its research, clinical and education efforts to keeping the galaxy’s travelers healthy and bringing those medical technologies back to patients on Earth. 

Researchers presented new results on maternal mental health and addiction treatment.

For many researchers, inspiration doesn’t just come from curiosity—it’s born out of personal struggle and lived experience. Professor Shoko Miyauchi of Kyushu University’s Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering is one such researcher. Motivated by the frustrations and anxieties she encountered during her own parenting experience, she has developed systems to support families with childcare needs. We sat down with Miyauchi to hear about her current research and future goals.

The secret to a longer life lies not just in what we eat, but maybe in when we don’t. When young worms went six days without food, they lived about 19% longer as adults.

A fascinating study suggests that fasting might extend lifespan not only for individuals but also for their descendants, even generations later. The study, conducted by researchers from Baylor College of Medicine, was published in the journal Science in September.

Researchers at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and collaborators have sequenced the white oak genome, enabling insights into traits like pest resistance and climate adaptability to improve seedling survival. Through precision forestry experiments and seed orchards, efforts aim to enhance white oak sustainability, supporting biodiversity, timber production, and forest ecosystems for future generations.

University of Tennessee researchers analyzed nationwide data on fatal pedestrian crashes at bus stops, identifying midblock stops as especially dangerous. Their findings highlight infrastructure solutions like high-visibility crosswalks and relocating stops to signalized intersections, aiming to improve pedestrian safety and guide city planners, traffic engineers, and transit agencies in reducing crash risks.
