Research has shown that vulnerable communities are facing the dangers of complex environments.
Serious danger accumulation in a very social vulnerable census. Credit: Environmental survey letter (2024). Doi: 10.1088/1748-9326/AD9EC7 Environmental disasters have confused the life of the entire region and are on the same burden of communities that are already facing social and economic difficulties. Extreme events, such as floods caused by Tennessee and Hurricane Helen in North Carolina, indicate this phenomenon in…

Uncovering the past: How NZ’s first prison tells a complex story of colonial identity
View of Kororareka in the Bay of Islands, 1845. Credit: George Thomas Clayton, Wikimedia Commons, CC BY New Zealand’s first prison was a simple, symmetrical four-room log building built in 1840 at Okiato in the Bay of Islands, not far from present-day Russell. But its history, especially its forgotten parts, can tell us a lot about how we have constructed…

Work or play? The rise of online ‘kidfluencers’ raises complex legal and ethical questions
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Videos of children unboxing and playing with toys have become a hallmark of online marketing, making stars out of children as young as two years old. For example, 12-year-old influencer Ryan Kaji earns US$30 million a year on YouTube, where he leads one of the most popular children’s channels. His empire was built on unpacking toys.…

New electron microscopy technique reveals complex spin structures on femtosecond timescales
Melon pair spin vector. Unlike the rapidly oscillating electric and magnetic fields of the surface plasmon polariton that underlie this spin texture, the texture itself is temporally stable over the duration of the plasmon pulse. The horizontal separation of the two (red) maxima is approximately half the wavelength of the surface plasmon polariton (390 nm). Credit: P. Dreher et al.,…

Novel platinum complex exhibits potent antiproliferative effects with low toxicity in preclinical prostate cancer models
Binuclear platinum(II) complex inhibits prostate cancer cell proliferation by binding to androgen receptor (AR) and interfering with AR-mediated gene expression. This mechanism causes apoptosis and prevents cell proliferation induced by dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Credit: Yoshihisa Hirota / SIT, Japan. DOI: 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.4c01093 Prostate cancer remains a global health challenge, ranking as the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among men. Although treatments such…
