Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that's what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and sub-atomic scales.

Researchers at iC3 have found a way to improve records of past high latitude ocean change using tiny plankton shells called foraminifera. By growing these foraminifera under controlled cold-water conditions, the team has extended a key temperature tool into the range most relevant for subpolar and polar oceans.

The Indian monsoon has shifted over the past quarter century. Northwest India now receives substantially more rain than it once did, while a lack of rain sends the Indo-Gangetic Plain toward drought.

Many people are reluctant to ask others for advice—for fear of being a burden or taking up unnecessary time. A new study led by Professor Dr. Anne Burmeister at the ECONtribute Cluster of Excellence shows how this reluctance can be lowered: When people seeking advice learn that the other person involved will also benefit from the exchange, they are much more likely to seek support.

New research from a team of scientists led by Cornell is transforming how researchers understand one of the atmosphere's most abundant and least understood constituents: mineral dust.

Playing a card game can support empathy development in college classrooms, according to a new study led by researchers in Penn State University Libraries' Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT).
