If you were to ask a random passerby to describe what a robot is made of and how it is powered, they would likely tell you that a robot is made of metal and requires electricity to operate. Experts, however, would likely say that robotic control systems ...

Excitonic insulators (EIs) are a solid-state prototype for bosonic phases of matter that can support charge-neutral exciton currents. However, demonstration of exciton transport in EIs is difficult. In this work, we show that the strong interlayer ...

In December 2024, the global community expected the parties at the fifth Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC-5) meeting in Busan, South Korea, to produce a landmark treaty to address the planet’s plastic pollution crisis. The event was intended to be the final opportunity for more than 170 United Nations (UN) member states to craft an ambitious pact (1). However, after week-long heated discussions, negotiators failed to develop a consensus. Before the next meeting, scheduled for August 2025 in Geneva, Switzerland, the negotiating parties should work to understand and overcome the factors that stalled the talks (2).

This disposal method contravenes environmental principles and threatens public health. These countries should implement policies to require and regulate the safe disposal of anesthetics by hospitals.
