Kids seem to pick up new languages faster than adults, which might feel especially grating after wrestling through another Duolingo lesson. But is there a different way to promote language learning in adults? This is one of the central questions of Sung-Joo Lim’s work funded by a new National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER grant, which could eventually tap into a new pathway toward greater brain plasticity. “That’s the funny thing about adults.

Senior scientist Anju Sharma took first prize in the Visualizing the Unseen category and Best in Show at this year’s Art of Science competition for her artwork detailing the intricate arches and cavities inside a conch shell. Sharma, who works at the S3IP Center of Excellence, accomplished this without so much as chipping or slicing the shell. Instead, she used a machine called the Xradia Versa 620 X-ray microscope, located in the Analytical & Diagnostics Laboratory.

The day the National Science Foundation announced the winners of its prestigious Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP) awards, Binghamton senior Eric Talbott had no idea it was happening. Not until he randomly woke up, hours before the sun rose, to check his phone, only to see a message saying the results had been released.

In January 2025, the World Health Organization (WHO) released new guidelines recommending a switch from typical table salt to alternatives containing less sodium, aiming to reduce worldwide sodium intake by 30 percent in the next five years. One of the leading causes of death globally is cardiovascular disease - and often, eating too much salt can contribute to that. The average person consumes significantly more salt than is healthy, resulting in an intake of four grams of sodium per day.

The tiniest particles comprising everything we know look like black dots under a transmission electron microscope (TEM). TEMs beam electrons around the speed of light through extremely thin samples, magnifying them as much as 50 million times to reveal new worlds we cannot see with our naked eye. The resulting images of atomic structures are captured by specialized cameras that can snap over 3,000 frames per second.
