Impact of deep-sea mining on seafloor ecosystem still evident 44 years laterLittle is known about the long-term effects of deep-sea mining on the organic matter that supports life on the seafloor. However, as interest in mining the deep sea for rare metals grows, there is concern that disturbing the…Magnetic nanocomposites could help shrink the components that power computer chipsWhen you think about making computer chips better, you probably think about transistors. My colleagues and I focused on a less visible part of the problem: the components that deliver power to those transistors. A chip needs more…Exactly solvable model reveals how trapped light can create magnetic order in one-dimensional spin chainsA research team wanted to better understand how the forces between particles inside a material change. They discovered that by confining one-dimensional classical spin chains inside a mirror box cavity with light, they could…European flounder can complete whole life cycle in freshwaterMost flounders sampled in Lake Pulmanki in northern Finland had spent their entire lives in freshwater. The study provides the first evidence of the species living entirely in freshwater.
