1. Physicists uncover hidden order in the quantum world through deconfined quantum critical points

   A recent study has unraveled some of the secrets concealed within the entangled web of quantum systems.

2. Study on the reproducibility of behavioral experiments with insects now published

   A recent study provides evidence that some results of behavioral experiments with insects cannot be fully reproduced. So far, possible reproducibility problems have been little discussed in this context.

3. 'Cryosphere meltdown' will impact Arctic marine carbon cycles and ecosystems, new study warns

   A new study has found worrying signs that climate change may be undermining the capacity of Arctic fjords to serve as effective carbon sinks. The findings suggest that the capacity of polar oceans to remove carbon from the atmosphere may be reduced as the world continues to heat up.

4. New cell therapy shows promising results in advanced tumor diseases

   In recent years, cell therapies have developed alongside chemotherapy and immunotherapy to become a new pillar in the treatment of patients with blood and lymph gland cancer. In solid tumors, such as skin, lung, or bone and soft tissue cancer (sarcomas), they have not yet proven themselves as a treatment method. Tumor shrinkage was achieved only in rare cases, but the side effects were all the more severe. An international research group led by scientists has now succeeded in a phase 1 clinical trial in testing a novel cell therapy approach that also shows promise for solid tumors.

5. An earth-abundant mineral for sustainable spintronics

   Iron-rich hematite, commonly found in rocks and soil, turns out to have magnetic properties that make it a promising material for ultrafast next-generation computing.
