From light to logic: Ultrafast quantum switching in 2D materials

Scientists from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay have found a way to use light to control and read tiny quantum states inside atom-thin materials. The simple technique could pave the way for computers that are dramatically faster and consume far less power than today's electronics.

It's the JWST's turn to look for an intermediate mass black hole

Intermediate mass black holes (IMBH), if they exist, have between about 100 and 1,000 solar masses, placing them in between stellar black holes and supermassive black holes. But while there's plenty of evidence for both stellar mass black holes and supermassive black holes, the evidence for IMBHs isn't as convincing. There are many candidates, but there's no wide agreement on any of them. Yet our theories of black holes show there should be something in between stellar black holes and supermassive black holes, and IMBHs could be the missing link.

Microneedle system delivers biofertilizer directly into plants, boosting growth with less waste

Researchers at the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed dissolving microneedle patches that deliver living "biofertilizer" straight into plant tissue. In greenhouse tests, Choy Sum and Kale grew faster—by shoot biomass, leaf area and height—while using more than 15% less biofertilizer than standard soil inoculation.

These exotic objects may have briefly dominated the young cosmos, unraveled through quantum tunneling, and produced heavy right-handed neutrinos whose decays tipped the balance toward matter over antimatter.

The making of meaning
2025-12-07

The making of meaning

There's something so deeply human about making something yourself.It doesn't have to be big or impressive. Sometimes, for me, it's just cutting out a small sticker using parchment paper, markers and white printer paper for my journal; folding paper into something pretty; baking a fresh batch of cookies; or just writing a letter in cursive by hand.I like the process of it. The way you start with nothing - a blank page, some string, a lump of clay - and somehow, after a little while, there's something that didn't exist before.I've never made things because I was forced to. It hasn't been about saving money or doing it "the hard way." I just like the feeling of creating something from scratch, especially when it's for someone I care about. When I make gifts for my mom, I almost always end up with something handmade, including cards, drawings or tiny things I spent hours putting together. It's not perfect, but that's what I like. You can feel the time and thought that went into it. It's like giving someone a little piece of how you see them.I think we forget how much we can make with our own hands. Everything can easily be bought or downloaded now that creating something yourself almost feels old-fashioned. But to me, that's what makes it special. When I draw or build or craft something, I'm reminded that I can bring an idea into the real world. That's kind of amazing, when you think about it. Humans have been doing that forever, and it's still just as satisfying.At Hopkins, I've also been spending time in the PAVA Center Makerspace. It's where people can design things, 3D print models, handle wood and learn how to use machines and tools. It's weird that so much of it involves technology but still feels very human. You're still shaping something, still thinking about form and balance and texture. I like watching an idea slowly become tangible, piece by piece, print by print. Sometimes it fails completely, and you have to start over. But even that's part of the fun. You're learning how things come together, or sometimes how they fall apart, and you start over.Making things teaches patience. You can't rush a project or force it to look exactly like you imagined. In fact, most of the time when I'm making something, the end product looks completely different from what I envisioned at the start. You learn to let the process happen, to accept imperfections and find joy in the attempt itself. And when it's done, no matter how small, it's yours. You know every step it took to get there.I think that's why it feels so meaningful. Making something yourself isn't just about the final product. The sounds of the scissors cutting paper, spreading sunflower oil over a canvas before putting on oil paint, the hum of a printer, the way time slips by quietly and fast when you're focused on something you care about. It's one of the few times where doing feels just as good as finishing.I like that. I like that I can create, not just consume. It reminds me that effort, even small effort, adds up to something beautiful. Maybe it's just a sticker, a painting, a card or a tiny piece of decor for my desk. But I made it, and that feels enough.Kathryn Jung is a freshman from Silver Spring, MD, majoring in Biomedical Engineering. Her column reflects the process of creating and how the small things we make, notice and hold close bring meaning to everyday life.

Saturday Citations: Cancer therapy breakthrough; Sumatran tigers thrive; frogs eat what, now?

This week, JPL scientists reported that glaciers speed up and slow down at predictable intervals. CERN's ATLAS experiment detected evidence for the decay of a Higgs boson into a muon-antimuon pair. And researchers discovered that exercise slows tumor growth by shifting glucose uptake to muscles.

Gene editing creates compact goldenberry plants suitable for large-scale farming

Goldenberries taste like a cross between pineapple and mango, pack the nutritional punch of a superfood, and are increasingly popular in U.S. grocery stores. But the plants that produce these bright yellow-orange fruits grow wild and unruly—reaching heights that make large-scale farming impractical.

Long ago, Mars had massive watersheds—now finally mapped

What can mapped drainage systems on Mars teach scientists about the red planet's watery past? This is what a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences hopes to address as a team of scientists from the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) conducted a first-time mapping study involving Martian river basins. This study has the potential to not only gain insight into ancient Mars and how much water existed there long ago, but also develop new methods for mapping ancient river basins on Mars and potentially other worlds.

Patients can safely receive stem cell transplants from mismatched and unrelated donors, study shows

For years, the search for a stem cell donor has felt like a quest for a rare key—one that fits a lock with eight intricate tumblers, each representing a genetic marker. For many patients with blood cancers, especially those from diverse backgrounds, the right key simply didn't exist. The door to a cure remained closed.
