SLAC’s high-speed electron camera uncovers a new ‘light-twisting’ behavior in an ultrathin material
SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory

Using SLAC’s instrument for ultrafast electron diffraction (MeV-UED), one of the lab’s world-leading tools for ultrafast science, researchers discovered how an ultrathin material can circularly polarize light. This discovery sets up a promising approach to manipulate light for applications in optoelectronic devices.

Scientists Study How Bc Mesons Form to Gain More Information from Ultra-Relativistic Heavy-Ion Collisions
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Scientists use collisions of heavy ions to produce quark-gluon plasma containing large numbers of the heavy charm and bottom quarks. The recombination of freely moving charm and bottom quarks facilitates the production of Bc mesons. In this study, researchers carried out theoretical simulations of charm and bottom quarks diffusing through the quark gluon plasma and found that these quarks’ recombination can enhance the production of Bc mesons.

New Study Explores Opportunities to Increase Representation of Women in Leadership
University of Michigan Ross School of Business

Since the early 1970s, there has been a worldwide promise to support women in achieving positions of authority in U.S. corporations. However, the business world has not necessarily met that promise. Cindy Schipani, Merwin H. Waterman Collegiate Professor of Business Administration and professor of business law, explores some of the limiting factors and opportunities for improvement in her recent research.

Pumpkin disease not evolving, could make a difference for management
College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

The pathogen that causes bacterial spot is very good at what it does. Forming small lesions on the rinds of pumpkins, melons, cucumbers, and other cucurbits, it mars the fruits’ appearance and ushers in secondary pathogens that lead to rot and severe yield loss. The bacterium, Xanthomonas cucurbitae, is so successful that it has had no reason to evolve through time or space. That’s according to new University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign research characterizing the pathogen’s genetic diversity across the Midwest.
