Problematic social media use and inhibitory control among post-secondary students
Addictive BehaviorsProblematic social media use (PSMU) parallels traditional characteristics of substance use disorders, including salience, functional impairment, and tolerance. An excessive focus on social reward and engaging in negative behaviors on social media may decrease certain executive functions. However, the role of how inhibitory control processes manifest in

Nanothermometry in Living Cells: Physical Limits, Conceptual and Material Challenges
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Heat and temperature are fundamental to life. When nanothermometers began probing regions as small as a living cell, they triggered controversial claims of large intracellular temperature gradients. We review physical constraints energy‐conservation, entropy production, thermodynamic fluctuations, and molecular dynamics.
