In this article, the authors systematically study whether the type of a star is correlated with the number of planets it can support. Their study shows that medium-sized stars are likely to support more than one planet, just like the case in our solar system. They predict that, of the hundreds of planets beyond our solar system, 6% might be habitable. As humans work to travel further and further into space, some of those might truly be suited for human life.

The authors created a board game to teach young children about healthy eating habits to see whether an interactive and family-oriented method would be effective at introducing and maintaining a love for fruits and veggies. Results showed that children developed a liking for fruits and vegetables, and none regressed. Half maintained their level of enjoyment for fruits and vegetables during the research period, while the other half had a positive increase. The results show that a simple interactive game can shape how young children relate to food and encourage them to maintain healthy habits.

In this study, we examined the consistency and dependability of Google's Lighthouse tool for measuring website performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices. Tests conducted on three websites showed that performance scores vary based on the testing mode and website complexity, while other audit categories stay constant. These results provide direction for researchers and developers by highlighting Lighthouse's benefits and drawbacks.

Physics‑Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) offer a promising way to estimate blood‑flow behavior in arteries, especially near the vessel wall where traditional methods struggle. In this study, students tested how sensor density and placement affect PINN accuracy in modeling carotid artery flow and found that accuracy improves up to a moderate sensor density and depends strongly on how close sensors are placed to the arterial wall. Applying the optimized configuration to a patient‑specific carotid model produced velocity predictions closely matching computational fluid dynamics results, highlighting PINNs’ potential for future personalized cardiovascular assessment.

This study investigates how the hyperparameters epochs and batch size affect the classification accuracy of a convolutional neural network (CNN) trained on pulsar candidate data. Our results reveal that accuracy improves with increasing number of epochs and smaller batch sizes, suggesting that with optimized hyperparameters, high accuracy may be achievable with minimal training. These findings offer insights that could help create more efficient machine learning classification models for pulsar signal detection, with the potential of accelerating pulsar discovery and advancing astrophysical research.
