Increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide is slowly acidifying our oceans. Here the authors test the effects of ocean acidification on the ability of hermit crabs (P. longicarpus) to find food. Though no statistically significant changes in food finding were observed, the data suggest a trend toward different activity.

Different songs can seem to evoke different emotions. Here the authors demonstrate that different songs can have a significant effect on the heart rate of listeners. A slower song slows heart rate, and a faster song increases it.

This study investigates the dynamic reaction between liquid gallium and aluminum, which poses a challenge when using high-performance gallium-rich thermal interface materials for electronic cooling. Through the usage of in-situ microscopy, we show that while aluminum oxide coatings slow gallium-induced damage, nanometer-thick iridium coatings effectively prevent reaction and surface degradation at device-operating temperatures. These findings highlight a promising thermal-cooling architecture for extending the lifespan and reliability of high-power electronic heat dissipation systems.

Cancer cells rely heavily on glycolysis, but how they respond when glucose is reintroduced after acute starvation is not well understood. Using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy, students tracked metabolic changes in HeLa cells and found a rapid shift toward glycolysis within 20 minutes of glucose reintroduction, followed by heterogeneous recovery toward oxidative phosphorylation. These results highlight metabolic flexibility and variability in cancer cells, offering insights relevant to treatment resistance and therapeutic design.
