Digital Map Provides Interactive Lesson on Telegraph History
Before Andrew Carnegie became the industrialist he's remembered as today, he worked for an early telegraph company in Pittsburgh as a messenger boy.

Climate change is subjecting plants to rapid shifts in temperature and precipitation, pushing them into new ranges and stressing them in old ones. Trees may have an easier time adapting in both cases by making new microbial friends underground, according to new research from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
The search for habitable planets expands
A University of Michigan astronomer and his team are suggesting a new way to expand the search for habitable planets that takes into account a zone not previously considered: the space between the star and what's called soot line in planet-forming disks. Worlds that form in this region-a disk of dust rotating around a central star from which planets may be built-could have surfaces rich in volatile carbon compounds quite different from Earth's.

Gravitational-wave detectors start next observing run to explore the secrets of the universe
The next run will be the most sensitive search yet for gravitational waves. The following article is adapted from a press release issued by the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) Laboratory, in collaboration with the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration . LIGO is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and operated by Caltech and MIT, which conceived and built the project.

Omer Yilmaz's work on how diet influences intestinal stem cells could lead to new ways to treat or prevent gastrointestinal cancers. Every three to five days, all of the cells lining the human intestine are replaced. That constant replenishment of cells helps the intestinal lining withstand the damage caused by food passing through the digestive tract.
Logging on for health: More older adults use patient portals, but access and attitudes vary widely
Three-quarters of people age 50-80 use at least one portal, but use and confidence are lower in those with lower incomes or lower levels of physical or mental health Far more older adults these days

LIGO Ready to Explore Secrets of the Universe
Today, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration begins a new observing run with upgraded instruments and other improvements to boost the search for gravitational waves, or ripples in space-time, generated by colliding black holes and other extreme cosmic events.

A new way of machining microscale rotors from diamond crystal can enable ultrasensitive NMR devices for probing proteins and other materials. Many of the biological materials that researchers are most interested in studying, including those associated with major diseases, don't lend themselves to the conventional methods that researchers typically use to probe a material's structure and chemistry.
Understanding boiling to help the nuclear industry and space missions
PhD candidate Florian Chavagnat seeks to answer fundamental questions about heat transfer that will shape the success of nuclear power plants - and extended missions in space.

Q&A: Have a favorite food memory? How technology can help take you back
Many people remember a specific food they enjoyed as children, whether it's a special pie made by a grandparent, a once-a-year tasty treat for a holiday or spring rolls from a street vendor.

Surviving, not thriving: International students struggling with the increasing cost of living
A new report from the Monash Centre for Youth Policy and Education Practice (CYPEP) has found that international students are going hungry at an alarming rate and calls for better support and assistance for international university students.
