Experts at UCL have raised concerns about online misinformation after new research found that over half of pupils have unintentionally encountered Holocaust-related content on social media.
Amid concern about student screen time and mental health, new research indicates that most U.S. public schools already have policies regulating the use of smartphones in class.
On many days, Apple Street looks like a picture postcard of New England. Oaks shade a time-worn stone wall, boat sheds loll behind granite outcrops. But during storms, this pretty lane only a few feet above sea level can turn into a moat, cutting off an emergency shortcut that ambulances count on when Essex's main street floods several times per year.
If it were to melt completely, the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) holds enough ice to raise the global sea levels by 4 to 5 meters (13 to 16 feet).
New research reveals a link between rising temperatures and changes in polar bear DNA, which may be helping them adapt and survive in increasingly challenging environments.
Most of the media coverage of the federal government's recent cuts in federal research money for universities has focused on its effects on a handful of elite Ivy League universities, such as Harvard, Columbia and Cornell.
Using a dual-cation substitution approach, researchers at Science Tokyo introduced ferromagnetism into bismuth ferrite, a well-known and promising multiferroic material for next-generation memory technologies. By replacing ions at both the bismuth and iron sites with calcium ions and heavier elements, they modified the spin structure and achieved ferromagnetism at room temperature. Additionally, negative thermal expansion was observed. This ability to engineer magnetism and thermal expansion in a multiferroic material aids in realizing future memory devices.
Cities do not always grow in a straight line. Like living organisms, they experience growth, maturity, and sometimes decline. This decline, known as urban shrinkage, is a natural phase in the urban life cycle. It is common in industrialized cities, marked by aging social infrastructure resulting from population decline.
Parents the world over have begun the task of negotiating Christmas lists written by their children. But buying the right presents for kids can feel like a minefield, with an ever-growing list of choices and factors to consider. Among all of this, the issue of gendered marketing looms large.
The approximately 9,000-year-old grave of the shaman from Bad Dürrenberg (Saalekreis district) is one of the most spectacular finds in Central European archaeology. Excavated under considerable time pressure in 1934, subsequent investigations at the site from 2019 onwards allowed for the recovery of remains of the burial pit, which were then removed as a block and examined under laboratory conditions. These investigations revealed a series of new insights. Microscopic evidence has now been obtained of feathers that likely belonged to an elaborate headdress.
