Efforts to extend life may be succeeding, but not equally. Extending life is only part of the goal in aging research. Scientists also want more people to reach old age in good health, with fewer differences in when individuals die. This ideal outcome is often described as “squaring the survival curve,” where most deaths are […]

Your Child’s Clothes Could Contain Toxic Lead, Study Finds
Bright, colorful kids’ clothes may come with a hidden risk: toxic lead. Fast fashion has made it easier and more affordable to keep up with children who quickly outgrow their clothes. However, early research suggests that some of these garments may come with a hidden hazard: lead. After testing shirts from several retailers, undergraduate researchers […]
Atomic Chains Turn Electric Fields into Measurable Quantum Signals
A new approach to measuring low-frequency electric fields is emerging from the study of Rydberg atom systems. Measuring low-frequency electric fields with high precision remains a significant challenge. Existing sensing technologies often cannot deliver traceability, compact design, and the ability to detect field direction all in one system. Rydberg atoms are gaining attention in electric-field […]
