In this article, the authors investigate the shear modulus of different types of paper in the setting of the crumpling effect.

Growing climate concerns have intensified research into zero-emission transportation fuels, notably hydrogen. Hydrogen is considered a clean fuel because its only major by-product is water. This project analyzes how hydrogen compares to kerosene as a commercial aircraft fuel with respect to cost, CO2 emissions, and flight range.

Seeking to investigate eco-friendly biological methods to control weeds and enhance food crop yields, here the authors considered the effects of three essential oils on seed germination and radicle length of both a weed and a common crop. They found that treatment with turmeric oil had phytotoxic potential, leading to a reduction in both seed germination and radicle length of the weed. In contrast, ginger oil possessed allelopathic properties towards both. The authors suggest that essential oils could be used as eco-friendly bio-herbicides.

Food spoilage leads to a significant loss in agricultural produce each year. Here, the authors investigate whether certain essential oils can protect against fungus-mediated spoilage of fruits and vegetables. Their results suggest that the compounds they tested might indeed inhibit fungal growth, at various temperatures, a promising result that could reduce food wasting.

The goal of this study was to further confirm, characterize, and classify LHS 3844 b, an exoplanet detected by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS). Additionally, we strove to determine the likeliness of LHS 3844 b and similar planets as qualified candidates for observation with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Trevithick & Park were interested in whether proprioception, the sense of the relative position of body parts and movement, differed between varsity and non-varsity athletes, as well as between the sport practiced. The authors found that there was no correlation between athleticism and better proprioception, but that dancers had superior proprioceptive abilities compared to those that practiced other sports.

Consumers in India and the United Arab Emirates live in very different economic and cultural environments, and this study set out to measure how that shapes the way they shop and pay. Surveying 50 people in each country, they found that Indian consumers were more price-sensitive and favored cash, while UAE consumers prioritized convenience, gravitating toward credit cards, mobile wallets, and online shopping. The results offer practical insight for retailers, marketers, and policymakers working across these two fast-growing but culturally distinct markets.

This study investigates the migration intentions of Syrian high school and university students amid ongoing conflict and economic instability. Drawing on survey data, the research examines how academic stage influences migration motivations, preferred destinations, and return intentions. The findings reveal a widespread desire to emigrate, driven by educational, economic, and security concerns, highlighting significant implications for Syria’s future workforce and post-conflict recovery.
