Gender differences in submission behavior exacerbate publication disparities in elite journals

This study finds women submit fewer papers to top journals than men and are more likely to cite lack of novelty or advice against submission as reasons, while men cite better fit in specialized journals.

Single particle-resolution fluorescence microscopy of nanoplastics

This paper develops STED microscopy techniques to image nanoplastics at single-particle resolution, enabling precise localization and quantification in complex environments.

Mechano-bactericidal nanopillars require external forces to effectively kill bacteria

This study shows that nanopillar surfaces require external forces to kill bacteria, challenging the idea that nanopillars alone are effective antibacterial agents.
