The researchers, who report in Nature Medicine, start here. Lifelong exposure to risk leads to a wide variety of outcomes. Objectively judging the relative impact of these risks on individual and population health is fundamental to individual survival and societal prosperity. Existing mechanisms for quantifying and classifying the magnitude of these myriad effects and the …
Robert Glennon and Brent M. Haddad The lure of seawater desalination seems irresistible. All that seawater just waiting to be salted and delivered to your tap. It can be done, but there are three obstacles: It’s expensive. It’s energy-intensive. And this creates a need to get rid of the remaining salt. Governor Doug Ducey’s State …

The micro-ring resonator, shown here as a closed loop, generated high-dimensional photon pairs. The researchers examined these photons by manipulating the phases of different frequencies, or colors, of light and mixing frequencies, as shown by the criss-crossing multicolored lines.
