A new 3D subsurface model shows how variations in rock strength beneath the Marmara Sea could trigger future large earthquakes along the North Anatolian Fault. The findings improve understanding of fault mechanics and support better earthquake forecasting for the Istanbul region. Türkiye lies in

The University of Texas at Arlington researchers resolved a largely unnoticed modeling gap in how researchers interpret the behavior of single molecules at interfaces:

By treating emitters as finite-sized surface currents in contact with both media within finite-element simulations, this study provides the first physically self‑consistent framework for describing dipoles at arbitrary dielectric interfaces.

A longstanding but largely unnoticed modeling gap has been skewing how researchers interpret the behavior of single molecules at interfaces—this work finally resolves it. Defocused fluorescence microscopy is widely used to infer molecular orientation, yet conventional models of dipole emission near refractive‑index boundaries diverge from one another depending on which side of the interface the molecule approaches. The result has been hidden, systematic biases in measured orientations. By treating emitters as finite-sized surface currents in contact with both media within finite-element simulations, this study provides the first physically self‑consistent framework for describing dipoles at arbitrary dielectric interfaces.

This is a massive real estate deal for the fastest growing city in the region.

A legendary golden fabric once worn only by emperors has made an astonishing comeback. Korean scientists have successfully recreated ancient sea silk—a rare, shimmering fiber prized since Roman times—using a humble clam farmed in modern coastal waters. Beyond reviving its luxurious look, the team uncovered why this fiber never fades: its glow comes not from dyes, but from microscopic structures that bend light itself.

A better understanding of the bedrock can help researchers calculate how quickly the continent’s melting glaciers might affect sea-level rise
