Research institution behind the rhombohedral graphene experiments
MIT physicists have mapped two competing states of matter in ultra-clean rhombohedral graphene: pockets where resistance drops to zero, and adjacent pockets where it stubbornly saturates at a finite value no matter how cold the sample gets. The finite-resistance state reproduces the anomalous metal, a phenomenon seen in disordered thin-film superconductors for four decades but never explained.

Led the paleomagnetic study
Around 4.6 billion years ago, the solar system began as a cloud of gas and dust. Over a few million years it collapsed and flattened into a disk that gave rise to the sun and planets.
Developer of the device
Standard cancer pathology has a built-in contradiction: tissue is bathed in chemical preservatives before analysis, and those chemicals kill the cells inside it. That leaves pathologists with a good look at dead cells and no way to test how a patient's living cancer responds to drugs.

Published consciousness research roadmap
Scientists studying the deep brain faced these limitations: transcranial magnetic stimulation reaches only 2-4 centimeters below the skull, functional MRI shows correlation not causation, and deep brain stimulation requires opening the skull. Transcranial focused ultrasound sends acoustic waves through intact bone to reach regions as small as a few millimeters—deeper and more precisely than any previous noninvasive method.

Community impacted by professor’s killing; case now being reviewed for potential connection to Brown shooting
Brown's Dec. 13 shooting evolved from a campus lockdown into an extended manhunt. Gunfire killed two students—Ella Cook and Mukhammad Aziz Umurzokov—and wounded nine others; the initially detained suspect was released, and investigators have used residential and vehicle-camera footage to track the shooter's movements.
