Why employees hide chronic pain to meet workplace norms‎

Workers in chronic pain often choose to conceal it and continue working as though nothing were wrong, according to new research led by the University of Delaware. Drawing on a survey of 66 workers living with chronic pain, the authors explored how hidden expectations shape everyday work experiences. Their participants came from a wide range of occupations, but despite these differences, they faced similar pressures: Their bodies had to conform to a standard of uninterrupted functionality.

Images: NASA's Perseverance captures panorama at 'Arbot'‎

NASA's Perseverance Mars rover used its Mastcam-Z camera to capture this panorama of an area nicknamed "Arbot" on April 5, 2026, the 1,882nd Martian day (sol) of the mission, during the rover's deepest push west beyond Jezero Crater.

Twisted WSe₂ reveals elusive charge-neutral quantum modes‎

Quantum materials, materials with properties that are influenced by the laws of quantum mechanics, have attracted considerable attention over the past few decades. Their unique properties make these materials advantageous for the development of numerous cutting-edge technologies, including quantum computers, highly sensitive sensors and energy-efficient electronics.

New book examines national pension crisis‎

Public pension debt has far-reaching consequences, yet there appear to be limited options for addressing it. State and local governments often turn to legislation to reduce plan benefits. These reforms have been challenged in state and federal courts and providing a "timely analytical lens for comprehending these contemporary constitutional controversies" is why T. Leigh Anenson, business law professor at the Robert H. Smith School of Business, wrote a book about the issue. Specifically, three reasons that compelled her to write the book were to address a national crisis, to respond to litigation trends, and to fill a gap in legal scholarship.

Smart soil design to stop Australia's underground water pipelines from corroding‎

Engineers are rethinking the soil surrounding buried pipelines in a bid to help reduce Australia's billion-dollar annual corrosion problem and extend the lifespan of critical infrastructure. The Monash research, published in Geotechnical and Geological Engineering, explores how specially designed backfill materials could be used as an active corrosion protection system rather than simply providing mechanical support.

Student well-being drops after move to high school, research reveals‎

The move from primary to secondary school is a major transition for many children, marked by new environments, new peers and increasing expectations. But while the jump signals growing up and greater independence, it also triggers a significant decline in student well-being, according to new research from Adelaide University.

Encroaching world threatens India's last 'uncontacted' tribe‎

One of the last outsiders to make authorized visits to India's only "uncontacted" tribe says it may be time to reconnect with the isolated people—in order to shield them from an encroaching world.

Bilayer antiferromagnet reveals photocurrent that flips with magnetic state‎

In recent years, atomically thin materials—crystals only a few atoms thick—have attracted growing attention because they can exhibit physical properties that do not appear in conventional bulk materials. Among them, atomically thin magnetic materials are particularly intriguing, as they can host unconventional magnetic states and offer new possibilities for spin-based electronic technologies.

Copper-based sensor explains key defense signaling in stressed plants‎

Researchers at the Institute of Transformative Bio-Molecules (WPI-ITbM), Nagoya University, together with collaborators from RIKEN Center for Sustainable Resource Science (RIKEN CSRS) and The University of Osaka, have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which plants detect hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), a key signaling molecule involved in stress responses and immunity.
