As you walk onto the stage to perform a piano solo, you hear the echo of your shoes on the stage floor. You shield your eyes from the bright lights and take your seat at the grand piano.

Smartwatches can provide useful health information, but many of those numbers are algorithmic estimates rather than direct measurements of the body, and some outputs are more accurate than others, a new University of Michigan study found.

The review will comprise two parts: Part One, to be led by Nazir Afzal OBE, will examine the University’s support of Professor Arday; Part Two will comprise a broader review of institutional processes and practice related to his appointment and time at Cambridge. The reviews will not seek to investigate areas which are the subject of the inquest process.
Being able to speak a mother tongue when living in Diaspora allows the strengthening of social bonds among immigrant communities as well as the maintenance of strong cultural identities. But what happens to the language when the younger generations do not speak it? How do they connect with their parents and communities? A new article by SIS Professor Claudine Kuradusenge-McLeod explores the impact

Natural products are an important source of modern therapeutic drugs. Their unique skeleton structure, abundant functional groups and multiple chiral centers form the chemical basis for a wide range of biological activities. In the later biosynthesis of such active natural products, iron(II)/2-oxoglutarate-dependent (Fe/2OG) enzymes can precisely introduce pharmacophore groups through a variety of reactions. Among them, the carbon-carbon bonding reaction catalyzed by this enzyme family can build a molecular skeleton with complex structure and significant biological activity. However, the related reaction process is complicated, and its mechanism of action is still unclear so far. In-depth analysis of the catalytic mechanism of this type of enzyme is of great significance for natural product biosynthesis research, new drug development and rational transformation of biocatalysts.
Asteroid impact is a natural disaster with low probability but complex disaster chain. The impact is accompanied by extreme dynamic effects such as ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, ultra-high speed, etc., which will produce a large amount of sputtering dust. Sputtered dust is ejected into the atmosphere at high speed, and some dust enters the stratosphere and spreads, which may cause global environmental effects. Conducting research on the entire process from impact cratering to sputtering dust is of great significance to the study of near-Earth asteroid defense and Earth evolution. At present, due to technical and cost constraints, it is difficult to simulate real working conditions in indoor ultra-high-speed impact tests, and numerical simulation has become the main research method. However, most existing research focuses on a single process and lacks a systematic analysis method covering the complete chain of sputter dust formation - dust tropospheric movement - dust stratospheric diffusion.
