Billy Baker may be gone, but his impact will linger in Beverly Hills and especially South Crenshaw. Billy may be resting in peace now, but as All American Season 5 Episode 12 showed, everyone else was coping with their grief in their ways.

A heatmap of electron location in graphene shows that at the lower temperature (left panel), the electrons are more likely to bump into impurities (circles), with relatively fewer making it through the channel between impurities. At higher temperatures (right panel), electron flow shifts to being fluid-like. Fewer are stuck at the impurities and more flow through the channels. Credit: University of Wisconsin-Madison Physicists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have directly measured the fluid-like flow of electrons in graphene at nanometer resolution for the first time. The results appear in the journal Science today. Graphene, an atom-thick sheet of carbon arranged…

Scientists have created a new type of ice that matches the density and structure of water, perhaps opening a door to studying water’s mysterious properties. “It might be liquid water frozen in time,” says Martin Chaplin, a specialist in water structure at London South Bank University, who was not involved in the work. “It could be very important.” The ice is called medium-density amorphous ice. The team that created it, led by Alexander Rosu-Finsen at University College London (UCL), shook regular ice in a small container with centimetre-wide stainless-steel balls at temperatures of –200 ˚C to produce the variant, which…

The relentless attack of H5N1 is important not just for its impact on poultry or wildlife, but for what it portends for people.

Since then, variants of H5N1 have periodically infected people, causing 868 human cases through 2022 according…
