Scientists have long held that electricity is carried by individual electrons with discrete charges moving in a metal, even in the case of electrons clumped into quasiparticles. However, 鈥渟trange metals鈥� fail to obey this paradigm. Researchers have observed a radical quantum blurring of electrons in strange metal into a featureless liquid, potentially pointing toward a new theory of electrical transport.

As of early 2025, tuberculosis cases are increasing in the U.S. This disease, often shortened to TB, causes significant lung damage and, if not treated, is almost always lethal. World TB Day on March 24 raises awareness about the disease and commemorates Robert Koch鈥檚 discovery of the source bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. More than a century later, scientists continue refining TB diagnosis methods and treatment strategies , some of which are in these four ACS journal articles.

Researchers develop Symbolic Modeling鈥攁n AI-powered technique creating unified mathematical models for financial asset pricing. Compared to neural network, the generated mathematical expression by symbolic modeling is easier to comprehend and analyze. Testing across hundreds of company鈥檚 datasets shows lower prediction errors and reduced unexplainable return compared to classic asset pricing models like CAPM or Fama-French 3-Factor model.
