Digital finance research maps psychology, algorithms, and risk

A study of almost 1,000 research papers in the field of digital finance has mapped out how technology, investor behavior and financial market risk are connected. The work identified three distinct foundations rather than a single framework, with implications for understanding how psychological factors influence financial decisions and how to develop viable algorithms that provide automated investment guidance.

Rising seas threaten the world's migratory shorebirds

Birds undertake some of the world's most impressive migrations, traveling hundreds to thousands of kilometers every year in search of safe breeding grounds and seasonally abundant food resources. For many birds, migration is the key to their success. However, migration can also make species more vulnerable to threats.

Stanford scientists turn a cancer driver into a kill switch

A Stanford-designed molecule turns a major lymphoma-promoting protein against cancer cells, activating their own self-destruct machinery instead of simply blocking tumor growth. In mice, the treatment completely eliminated aggressive human lymphoma tumors within 11 days, although much more testing is needed before it could reach patients.

Tiny photosynthetic organisms help transport carbon to the depths of the Baltic Sea

Tiny photosynthetic organisms in the Baltic Sea can contribute substantially to the transport of carbon from surface waters to deeper parts of the sea. A new study from the Department of Ecology, Environment and Plant Sciences at Stockholm University shows that their ability to form colonies and aggregates is an important factor determining how much of their biomass sinks.

How a harmful bacterium senses iron—and why it matters for fighting infections

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common culprit in hospital-acquired bacterial infections and is growing more resistant to antibiotics. New findings from Aaron Smith, professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UMBC, and collaborators at Oklahoma State University show how a two-protein system inside the bacterium operates like a sensitive switch: The pair detects iron both outside and inside the cell and then rewrites large parts of the microbe's metabolism in response.

Superbug P. aeruginosa uses two protein plugs to seal channels against antibiotics

A joint research team has identified a new mechanism underlying antibiotic resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a major multidrug-resistant "superbug." The discovery provides important clues for the development of new treatments for multidrug-resistant bacterial infections. The findings are published in the journal Nature Communications.

Chain reaction that begins when tumor suppression gene is switched off offers clues to how cancer develops

A tumor suppressor gene known as p53 is mutated in more than half of all cancers, but how it acts to prevent cancer formation is largely unknown. A study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers sheds light on this phenomenon by showing what happens when p53 becomes disabled, revealing the gene's diverse roles in maintaining healthy metabolic activity, repressing mobile genes called retrotransposons and preventing cells from adopting features of sperm and eggs.

First-in-kind data set reveals insights across the world's national and regional economies

The University of Virginia has published the Global Capitalism Index (GCI), a first-in-kind data set offering unprecedented insights into the globe's capitalism conditions in every country. Assembled from more than two hundred data sets across eight key pillars, the GCI's country-by-country scores offer an array of ways to understand capitalism around the world.

Long Island measurements reveal household products and buildings as major summer pollution sources

Products such as hairspray, paint and household disinfectants are increasingly causing summertime air pollution—and cities aren't accounting for it, which makes it harder to issue air quality advisories and enact regulations, new research from Colorado State University, the University of Minnesota and Purdue University shows.

Hawaiian hot spot study uncovers evidence of true polar wander

On Earth, everything is moving. The planet spins, the tectonic plates shift and the spin axis wobbles, as do the magnetic poles, which makes determining how things move a rather tricky proposition. For Rice University's Richard Gordon, this problem came up when he was trying to understand the history of the Hawaiian hot spot, the deep-mantle source of the volcanism that created the Hawaiian–Emperor chain of islands and underwater volcanoes.

'Self-blinking dyes' simplify nanoscale imaging without sacrificing precision

Nanobodies are extremely small antibody fragments that bind to specific molecules. When nanobodies are labeled with dyes, they can be used as probes to enhance super-resolution microscopy. However, conventional blinking dyes often perform poorly when attached to nanobodies, limiting their practical advantages. An international research team led by the University of Göttingen and the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) has now shown that self-blinking dyes—which can switch between bright and dark states on their own—bypass this limitation.

Undergraduate student may have solved puzzle regarding isolated galaxies that have stopped producing stars

An undergraduate astrophysics student at UC Berkeley has found three unusual galaxies—cataloged as Shapiro Dwarf Galaxies I, II and III. Each galaxy is far from other galaxies and has stopped making stars, a combination that is extremely rare. The discovery, published in The Astrophysical Journal, provides compelling observational evidence of a long-held astronomical theory.
