Exposing and Challenging “Grit” in Physics Education
ABSTRACT In STEM education, grit is increasingly the focus of research, with scholars and educators seeking to develop and test interventions that will enhance persistence. As part of the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education, in this paper, we use interviews with 12 white physics faculty to show ...

Formation of a β‐Endorphin Corona Mitigates Alzheimer's Amyloidogenesis
This study revealed the molecular mechanism of exercise‐induced β‐endorphin in suppressing the toxicity of Alzheimer's Aβ in vitro, in vivo and in silico. Abstract Senile plaques, comprised of nanosized aggregates of amyloid‐β (Aβ) peptides in the brain, are a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

TiO2 is highly relevant in photoelectrochemistry, (photo)catalysis, and sensor applications, where high conductivity is crucial. Herein, a co‐doping strategy for TiO2 using Nb(V) and Sn(IV) is developed, enhancing electron extraction from perovskite and improving solar cell efficiency and stability.

Radiometric Constraints on the Timing, Tempo, and Effects of Large Igneous Province Emplacement
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Investigating Developer Sentiments in Software Components: An Exploratory Case Study of Gentoo
ABSTRACT Background Developers, who are the main driving force behind software development, have central work in handling software components such as modules, libraries, and frameworks, which are the backbone of a project's architecture. Managing these components well ensures the smooth implementation of new features, maintains system integrity, and ...
