Researchers discover diffraction behaviors never seen in conventional quasicrystals using a new type of monotile structure. The team's findings open a new direction for exploring the fusion of quasiperiodic order and chirality, with potential applications in light manipulation and optical devices.
Dr. Kevin J. Kelly, an assistant professor at Texas A&M University, has received the Henry Primakoff Award for Early-Career Particle Physics for his significant contributions to neutrino physics and proposing novel directions for dark matter research. He will deliver an invited lecture on his research at a future APS meeting.
A prospective study found that medication abortion via no-test telehealth and mailing of medications was comparable in effectiveness to in-person care with ultrasonography. The research also revealed low adverse event rates across all groups.
Researchers Dr. Fabian Pels and Prof. Jens Kleinert developed an integrative group flow theory that explains the conditions for optimal group performance. The IGFT highlights the importance of interpersonal coordination, positive relationship quality, and continuous maintenance of primary and secondary fits to achieve group flow.
Researchers have found exotic topological features in soft matter, a discovery that challenges our understanding of physics. The study reveals that such features are widespread and can be observed in everyday environments, including living organisms.

Grigorchuk's influential paper introduced a new class of groups with counterintuitive results, expanding the field of geometric group theory. His discovery has had significant impacts on various areas, including fractals, dynamical systems, spectral theory, and finite automata.
Mathematician Alex Eskin has been selected as a 2014 Simons Investigator to tackle long-term studies of fundamental questions in mathematics. He aims to understand the behavior of billiard balls in various polygons, shedding light on ergodicity and randomness.
Graduate student Yash Lodha and Justin Moore describe geometric solution for von Neumann-Day problem, a centuries-old challenge in group theory. The solution involves a finite set of nine rules and has been hailed as natural and compelling enough to study for its own sake.
A new paper by Matthew Baggetta argues that both voluntary associations and civic engagement are essential for creating good citizens. The study found that participation in associations can change people's behavior and attitudes, leading to a more engaged citizenry.
A recent study found that male doctors, those working in group practices, and those repeatedly seeing the same patients are at higher risk of burnout. The research used a validated measure to assess emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and reduced personal accomplishment among 564 GPs.
Researchers Gene Cooperman and Dan Kunkle used advanced techniques to solve the cube in 26 moves or less, surpassing the previous best of 27 moves. They utilized 7 terabytes of RAM and a new computational method to achieve this feat.
Martin Kassabov, a leading researcher in combinatorial algebra and group theory, has been awarded the prestigious AMS Centennial Fellowship. The fellowship will support his visit to collaborators in Europe, furthering his work on representation theory and expander graphs.
Mathematician Devlin discusses the shift from intuitive proofs to formal systems, highlighting the limitations of traditional methods. He also explores the impact of computer analysis on proof validity, demonstrating how new techniques have increased mathematical accuracy.
Rocco Schiavilla, Interim Theory Group Leader at Jefferson Lab, was elected APS Fellow in 2002 for his work on nuclei as systems of protons and neutrons interacting via many-body potentials. His research focuses on the development and application of this picture to explain nuclear properties over a wide range of energies.
