Quanta Magazine reported on the discovery by Larry Guth and a colleague of a new proof for the Riemann hypothesis, which “automatically leads to better approximations of how many primes exist in short intervals on the number line.”

David Kastner, an artist and PhD student in biological engineering, seeks to unlock the secrets of catalysis and improve science communication through eye-catching visuals. “Scientific art can help make this information more accessible,” he says.

Scientists have pinned down the origins of the moon’s thin atmosphere, finding that it is primarily a product of “impact vaporization.” In other words, the barely-there lunar atmosphere is likely a product of meteorite impacts over billions of years.

EAPS researchers have identified a human “fingerprint” in the upper troposphere’s increasing ozone. “Now we can do more detective work and try to understand what specific human activities are leading to this ozone trend,” Arlene Fiore says.

Joshua Bennett’s scholarship, poetry, and teaching help students address core questions about values and meaning in life. “They see it as an opportunity, and they’ve explicitly told me this, to talk about being human,” he says.
