Blood-clotting protein may be SARS-CoV-2
Fibrinogen, the abundant plasma protein best known for forming blood clots, may play a second and far less benign role during SARS-CoV-2 infection: acting as a molecular bridge that simultaneously hides the virus from neutralizing antibodies and delivers it to the cells lining blood vessels.

Molecular trick opens the door to a new generation of glass
Researchers at TU Dortmund University, Paderborn University, the University of Duisburg-Essen, and the University of Oxford have developed a new method for selectively modifying the internal structure of specific types of glass. The study, published in the journal Nature Materials, shows how adding an organic molecule during melting causes the chemical bonds in the material to rearrange. The process reduces the required processing temperature, prevents the substance from decomposing, and allows the magnetic and optical properties to be precisely tuned. These specialized glasses are used, among other things, in gas storage, batteries, optical applications and catalysis.
Wildlife trafficking spreads across social media, putting thousands of species at risk

Deuterium enables chip waveguides to generate broadband light from infrared pulses
A research team from Singapore, led by Associate Professor Dawn Tan of the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) and Dr. Luo Xianshu, head of the Silicon Photonics Department at the A*STAR Institute of Microelectronics (A*STAR IME), has developed a low-loss silicon nitride waveguide that generates broadband light on a chip. By replacing hydrogen with its heavier isotope, deuterium, the team fabricated the low-loss SiN waveguide on an 8-inch wafer using a low-temperature process, demonstrating its potential for large-scale manufacturing and integration with CMOS-compatible semiconductor processes.
Researchers from the Skoltech Materials Center have proposed a new approach to modeling the mechanical properties of heterogeneous materials, combining machine learning with active learning on local chemical configurations. The method enables calculations of large systems containing tens of thousands of atoms with accuracy comparable to direct quantum-mechanical calculations (DFT), but without requiring extensive computational resources.
How atmospheric dryness limits increases in typhoon rainfall
Under global warming, scientists have widely expected tropical cyclones (including typhoons and hurricanes) to bring more intense and frequent rainfall. The underlying physics seems intuitive: Rising temperatures allow the atmosphere to hold more moisture, which, combined with intensifying storms, should theoretically trigger more destructive downpours. However, when researchers analyze climate model projections, they encounter a puzzling phenomenon.

What happens inside a wildfire? A Ph.D. student is finding out
What happens during a wildfire? The short answer is: much more than we know. As wildfires burn through trees, grasses and other vegetation, heat from the flames sets off thousands of chemical reactions at once. Molecules break apart, recombine and transform into new compounds, releasing gases, soot and other carbon-rich particles into the air.

New low-resistance contacts pave way for improved gallium nitride semiconductor devices
Semiconductor devices such as LEDs and transistors generally consist of two halves: an n-type, which carries negative charge via electrons, and a p-type, which moves positive charge carriers called holes that are essentially electron voids. Both halves rely on contacts that allow electric current to flow in and out with minimal energy loss. These connections, known as ohmic contacts, have been an efficiency bottleneck in thin p-type GaN semiconductors for decades because of their high resistance.

Threats to Kashmiri Pandits won't scare them: Ashok Koul
Shopian, Aug 24: Dismissing recent threat letters targeting Kashmiri Pandits, BJP General Secretary (Organisation) Ashok Koul on Monday asserted that the community and the party remain unfazed by such intimidation tactics. Such threats will continue, but we are not concerned by them. Personally, I receive threats every 15 days, and there is nothing to fear. We completely reject and oppose them, Koul told Rising Kashmir on the sidelines of his visit to Shopian. Referring to the latest threat letter, Koul said: They hold the late Jagmohan Ji responsible for the migration, which only reflects their own distorted mindset and failure. We firmly believe our neighbouring country orchestrated the entire plan to drive Kashmiri Pandits out of the Valley by using a handful of local elements with money and weapons, he said adding Those days are gone when terrorists enjoyed patronage from governments and leaders. Today, our security forces are fully deployed, and terrorists are being eliminated one by one. Koul was in Shopian to offer prayers at the historic Kapal Mochan Ram Temple during the ongoing three-day yatra. He interacted with devotees and Kashmiri Pandits who had arrived from various parts of the country. He commended the local administration for making elaborate arrangements and praised the Jammu and Kashmir Police for deploying adequate security to ensure the smooth conduct of the pilgrimage. Later, addressing party workers at the Circuit House, Koul launched a scathing attack on the National Conference-led administration, alleging that the Omar Abdullah government has failed to provide relief to the people. Consumers using just two bulbs are being billed between 4,000 and 5,000. A 6.8% tariff hike is completely unacceptable, and the BJP will launch an agitation to demand an immediate rollback, he stated. Koul also questioned the delay in holding Panchayat elections and demanded an Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) probe into the outsourcing of 24,000 government jobs. The government admitted on the floor of the Assembly that 24,000 posts were filled through outsourcing. Lists were allegedly sought from MLAs and relatives, bypassing common candidates. Mandatory reservations for SC, ST, and OBC categories were completely ignored. The ACB must investigate the entire matter, he demanded.
