UNLV Brain Health researcher Lina Nih is developing a treatment that could one day alter how practitioners address stroke recovery.

On a recent research trip to the Dry Tortugas, Shedd Aquarium scientists rescued the only known staghorn coral survivors in the area after last year’s devastating bleaching event in the Florida Keys. The remarkable discovery of live staghorn coral colonies is crucial for the future of this critically endangered species, enabling additional research on coral heat tolerance and restoration. Shedd’s research team found 43 living colonies of staghorn coral and utilized the aquarium’s research vessel, the R/V Coral Reef II, to safely transport small, living fragments back to land-based gene bank facilities to further safeguard the species.

Jefferson Lab has dedicated the first particle accelerator cryomodule built with niobium-tin components. The quarter cryomodule is the first designed and tested for accelerating an electron beam to 10 MeV or greater energies and marks a major milestone toward the next era of SRF particle accelerators.

Mexican Coke tastes different than American Coke; after all, it’s sweetened using cane sugar instead of high-fructose corn syrup. That, at least, was the conventional wisdom until 2011, when a paper published in the journal Obesity found that Mexican Coke contained no cane sugar. Instead, the authors found plenty of glucose and fructose, which are the main ingredients in high-fructose corn syrup. Join our Reactions host George as he tests a bottle of Mexican Coke and confirms — to his utter surprise — the presence of glucose, then follows this mystery step by step to its shocking conclusion.

Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) together with the City Council of Valencia today inaugurated a mural which, through Valencia Innovation Capital, pays tribute to the researcher Concha Monje, Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Automation at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M). The work of the Mexican artist Paola Delfín, it is the 40th mural painted as part of Dones de Ciència, a prominent project aimed at scientific dissemination and highlighting contributions by women in science and art.

To increase awareness of quantum opportunities and help grow the U.S. quantum workforce, the Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C²QA) hosts and co-hosts educational programs that introduce students to the foundational principles of QIS and foster the development of skills needed for a successful career in this rapidly expanding field.

The programs held this year, including the QIS & Engineering High School-Level Program, QIS 102: Quantum Computing Summer School, and QIS 303: Quantum Error Mitigation, reached more than 170 participants worldwide, from students who just completed their first year of high school to full-fledged QIS researchers — and enthusiastic learners from every level of expertise in between.
