Scientists have identified specific brain connections that predict impulsivity in teenagers. By scanning 95 adolescents, the study found that stronger links between the brain's salience network and the locus coeruleus correlate with more frequent errors and false alarms.

Researchers have developed the first integrated laser built entirely from materials transparent to ultraviolet light, overcoming a major hurdle in photonics. By pairing aluminium oxide circuits with gallium nitride amplifiers, this innovation promises to miniaturise optical clocks and scale up quantum computing.

Researchers have consolidated scattered experimental data on magnetic interactions into a single, standardised dataset covering nearly 100 materials. By unifying results from Inelastic Neutron Scattering experiments, the team has created an open-access resource that improves the accuracy of computer simulations for magnetic properties.

Light alkanes are stubborn greenhouse gases that traditionally require expensive platinum-group metals to neutralise. This review highlights how tunable, low-cost perovskite materials are emerging as a superior alternative for catalytic combustion, potentially reshaping industrial emission standards.
