Informal food vendors: The invisible backbone of the world's food system

Walk through almost any city or town in a low-income or middle-income country and you'll pass them: the woman selling deep-fried fish from a cart, the mobile vendor with a bicycle full of vegetables, the kiosk operator who's ...

Why 'vertical farming' is not a fix for our food system

The Canadian government launched its first National Food Security Strategy in June 2026. The strategy aims to invest $750 million to increase year-round Canadian production of fruits and vegetables, including on so-called ...

Chain reaction that begins when tumor suppression gene is switched off offers clues to how cancer develops

A tumor suppressor gene known as p53 is mutated in more than half of all cancers, but how it acts to prevent cancer formation is largely unknown. A study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers sheds light on this phenomenon ...

Ridesharing services may offer public safety benefits beyond transportation

New research published in Economic Inquiry reveals that ridesharing services like Uber and Lyft may reduce crime in some areas.

Blue-light labeling uncovers unexpected protein partners of folded DNA structures

DNA can be more than just a double helix. When four strands are folded into a compact bundle, they form a G-quadruplex (G4). These bundles form in guanine-rich regions across the genome, including telomeres at the ends of ...

Noncompetes suppress worker mobility and earnings without protecting trade secrets

Findings recently published in The Quarterly Journal of Economics provide, according to the study's authors, the clearest cause-and-effect evidence to date that noncompete agreements reduce worker mobility and earnings—while ...

Heavy fermions emerge at an atomic-layer interface, unlocking new ways to design quantum materials

A research team led by the University of Osaka has directly observed, for the first time, an unusual heavy-fermion state forming at the boundary between a one-atom-thick material and a metal. Such states are closely linked ...

Bacteria use collisions to navigate crowded environments, micro-maze experiments reveal

Some bacteria can sense when they bump into each other and use these interactions to shape how the group organizes and moves. This discovery reveals a new way microbes explore their environments using physical feedback rather ...

Rhinos and elephants can cause huge problems if reintroduced badly—here's how to get it right

Moving large animals around is a seductive idea in conservation. If there are plenty of animals in one place and too few in another, moving some between the two seems an obvious solution. Sometimes it is. But with animals ...

Atomic motion could help push solar cells beyond conventional limits

The bulk photovoltaic effect (BPVE), a photoelectric effect that generates photocurrent without a p–n junction, can persist even when a material's average crystal structure remains centrosymmetric, a study from Institute ...
