Imagine experiencing the beloved flavors of miso in a completely different context—up in the infinite expanse of outer space. Recent experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have uncovered that miso, a staple in Japanese cuisine, takes on a unique flavor profile when produced in microgravity and higher radiation conditions. While miso is traditionally lauded

The intricate behavior of electrons within materials has long fascinated scientists, particularly when they arrange themselves into what can be described as an “electron crystal.” This phenomenon occurs when the electron count aligns perfectly with the lattice sites available in a given medium, resulting in profound collective interactions. The orderly patterns formed can serve as

Materials, much like living organisms, undergo transformations that reflect their interactions with stress and relaxation. For long, scientists have attempted to decode the complex behaviors of materials in response to such conditions, but challenges in data interpretation have stifled a deeper understanding. Thankfully, the convergence of innovative technologies like X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS) and

In social interactions, we rarely focus our attention on the small, repetitive movements made by those around us—unless, of course, those actions become a source of agitation. Fidgeting, often viewed as a simple behavioral tic, has been revealed to trigger a surprisingly profound psychological response called misokinesia. This phenomenon, wherein individuals experience significant emotional discomfort
