‘Inside the box' look at excited hadrons could help solve mystery of particle X(3872)
DOE/Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility
So-called “XYZ states” defy the standard picture of particle behavior and have given rise to several attempts to understand their nature. But researchers with the Center for Theoretical and Computational Physics (Theory Center) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility say there is a simpler way to explain the abundance of exotic charmonium particles using lattice quantum chromodynamics.

Flower power: Lily's genetic arsenal against devastating fungus
Nanjing Agricultural University The Academy of Science
A pivotal study has uncovered a genetic defense mechanism in lily plants against Botrytis cinerea, the fungus behind gray mold disease. Central to this defense is LlHSFA4, a transcription factor that, when activated, initiates a robust response against the pathogen.

Study finds that issues patients raise during medical appointments often don’t appear in their medical records
Regenstrief Institute
One of the first studies to compare the actual conversation between patient and clinician during a primary care appointment with the information subsequently entered by the clinician into the patient’s electronic health record (EHR) for accuracy and thoroughness has found significant disparities.

Tepper School researcher advocates for new framework to measure sustainable economic growth
Carnegie Mellon University
In a new study, researchers suggest the need for an integrated framework to assess sustainable economic growth, one that tracks global stocks and flows of natural capital. Their study examined globally comprehensive monetary damages from particulate matter air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in more than 150 countries. Their results show that modeling monetary damages instead of physical measures of environmental quality yields results that can inform policy decisions about future growth and development.
