Experiments and theoretical analysis show that under extreme magnetic fields, electrons in zirconium pentatelluride behave in an unusual way that points to a topological origin rather than interactions among many particles. Under magnetic fields strong enough to push electrons toward their quantum limits, zirconium pentatelluride (ZrTe₅) did something conventional theory says should not happen. Its […]
Strange Quantum Oscillations Reveal New Physics in an Exotic Material

Quantum Experiment Breaks a Long-Standing X-Ray Energy Limit
An experiment by researchers at the University of California San Diego and TU Wien has revealed a new quantum regime that generates coherent X-rays at higher energies than conventional rules predict. When intense laser light strikes certain atoms, the atoms can respond by producing laser pulses at far higher frequencies, reaching into the X-ray range. […]
Scientists Supercharge Natural Killer Cells To Attack Solid Tumors
Stanford Medicine researchers and colleagues found a way to make natural killer cells better at attacking cancer. In mice, the enhanced cells entered solid tumors and slowed their growth. One of the biggest successes of modern cancer treatment has been learning how to turn the immune system into a weapon. But that strategy has worked […]

Scientists Find a Youth-Associated Protein That Rejuvenates Brain Immune Cells in Mice
Researchers found that TIMP2 supports microglial function and reduces age-related cellular changes associated with inflammation in mice. As the brain grows older, its immune cells can become less effective at clearing debris and controlling potentially harmful responses. Researchers at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified a role for TIMP2, a protein […]
A 47-Year-Old Scientist Tracked Himself for Months – His Biological Age Fell to 32
Continuous tracking of one participant showed how metabolic and physiological health measures can shift substantially over time in response to lifestyle changes. Most people learn about their health through an annual screening, a single snapshot that can miss what happens during the rest of the year. Researchers at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, […]
Ancient DNA Reveals How Europe Changed After the Fall of Rome
A study challenges the idea that Barbarians simply dominated Europe during the Early Middle Ages. A new study from the HistoGenes project, whose co-PI includes Patrick Geary, Professor Emeritus in the School of Historical Studies, is helping scholars build a clearer picture of the early medieval people who lived in Western Europe after the fall […]
