Where Israeli campus hallways resound with whine of basement brain-lab rows to roof-top observatories of physics. The whine never ceases. Unzipping proteins or constructing quantum technologies, Israeli researchers have gained global fame for out-of-proportion access. And at its brightest shine, that glint has not escaped the world's notice: Israel, with fewer than 9 million citizens, has had on its soil 12 Nobel laureates, and many of them from economics and chemistry.
While the world grapples with ever more tangled-up challenges, ranging from pandemics to global ecological crises,...

Berlin (ots) - A recent study by Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands, analysed the fate of compostable packaging in an industrial composting plant. The results show that the tested EN13432 certified products break down within a maximum of 22 days. The project was commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. "The study shows that the tested objects have the same or an even faster disintegration and degradation rate as regular biowaste. We need more independent research of this kind", says EUBP Chairman of European Bioplastics (EUBP), François de Bie.
Central aim of the study was to gather more empiric data on whether the disintegration rate of compostable...
Nora McDonald, George Mason University - Social media apps regularly present teens with algorithmically selected content often described as “for you,” suggesting, by implication, that the curated content is not just “for you” but also “about you” – a mirror reflecting important signals about the person you are.
All users of social media are exposed to these signals, but researchers understand that teens are at an especially malleable stage in the formation of personal identity. Scholars have begun to demonstrate that technology is having generation-shaping effects, not merely in the way it influences cultural outlook, behavior and privacy, but also in the way it can shape personality among those brought...
