These gaps indicate that the interest demands of the U.S. labor market differ drastically from the supply of interested people, revealing how many people have unfulfilled interests at work.
Reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexers (ROADM) are critical components in flexible optical networks for the dynamic channel reassignment. A university and industrial collaborative effort in China has led to the development of a compact, integrated optical switch matrix for the ROADM applications that is both low-loss and polarization-independent.
Bloch oscillations (BOs) have been extensively studied in static systems but remain mysterious in Floquet systems.
Signal processing is a fundamental necessity for modern society but facing significant trade-off between speed and efficiency.
A UCLA-led study suggests women who are 65 years old or older with high-risk breast cancer and are treated with chemotherapy are more likely to develop a substantial decline in physical function.
A new analysis using compliance data from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection suggests that if it could be extracted with complete efficiency, lithium from the wastewater of Marcellus shale gas wells could supply up to 40% of the country’s demand. The research is by University of Pittsburgh and National Energy Technology Laboratory scientists.
Hae Choon Chang, President of the World Institute of Kimchi (WiKim) announced on April 22 that the institute has developed a 'bio-refactoring-based upcycling technology' that can convert cabbage byproducts discarded as waste during the food manufacturing process into biodegradable plastics.
Worker rights are among the least protected human rights in the world, according to new research from faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York.

As often as four days a week, Boeing EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft based at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island fly loops overhead as pilots practice touch-and-go landings. The noise is immense. New research from the University of Washington shows that the noise isn’t just disruptive — it presents a substantial risk to public health.
In a first-of-its kind study, researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have investigated how the prehistoric weakening of a major ocean current led to a decline in ocean nutrients and negative impacts on North Atlantic ocean life. The results support predictions about how our oceans might react to a changing climate — and what that means for ocean life.
