-      <title>Microfoundations and the Causal Interpretation of Price-Exposure Designs</title>
-      <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10076</link>
-      <description>arXiv:2512.10076v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: This paper studies regional exposure designs that use commodity prices as instruments to study local effects of aggregate shocks. Unlike standard shift share designs that leverage differential exposure to many shocks, the price exposure relies on exogenous variation from a single shock, leading to challenges for both identification and inference. We motivate the design using a multi sector labor model. Under the model and a potential outcomes framework, we characterize the 2SLS and TWFE estimands as weighted averages of region and sector specific effects plus contamination terms driven by the covariance structure of prices and by general-equilibrium output responses. We derive conditions under which these estimands have a clear causal interpretation and provide simple sensitivity analysis procedures for violations. Finally, we show that standard inference procedures suffer from an overrejection problem in price-exposure designs. We derive a new standard error estimator and show its desirable finite-sample properties through Monte Carlo simulations. In an application to gold mining and homicides in the Amazon, the price exposure standard errors are roughly twice as large as conventional clustered standard errors, making the main effect statistically insignificant.</description>

-      <title>The Moroccan Public Procurement Game</title>
-      <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10109</link>
-      <description>arXiv:2512.10109v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: In this paper, we study the public procurement market through the lens of game theory by modeling it as a strategic game with discontinuous and non-quasiconcave payoffs. We first show that the game admits no Nash equilibrium in pure strategies. We then analyze the two-player case and derive two explicit mixed-strategy equilibria for the symmetric game and for the weighted $(p,1-p)$ formulation. Finally, we establish the existence of a symmetric Nash equilibrium in the general $N$-player case by applying the diagonal disjoint payoff matching condition, which allows us to extend equilibrium existence to the mixed-strategy setting despite payoff discontinuities.</description>

+      <title>Strategic Bid Shading in Real-Time Bidding Auctions in Ad Exchange Using Minority Game Theory</title>

+      <description>arXiv:2512.15717v1 Announce Type: new 
+Abstract: Traditional auction theory posits that bid value exhibits a positive correlation with the probability of securing the auctioned object in ascending auctions. However, under uncertainty and incomplete information, as is characteristic in real-time advertising markets, truthful bidding may not always represent a dominant strategy or yield a Pure Strategy Nash Equilibrium. Real-Time Bidding (RTB) platforms operationalize impression-level auctions via programmatic interfaces, where advertisers compete in first-price auction settings and often resort to bid shading, i.e., strategically submitting bids below their private valuations to optimize payoff. 
+This paper empirically investigates bid shading behaviors and strategic adaptation using large-scale RTB auction data from the Yahoo Webscope dataset. Integrating Minority Game Theory with clustering algorithms and variance-scaling diagnostics, we analyze equilibrium bidding behavior across temporally segmented impression markets. Our results reveal the emergence of minority-based bidding strategies, wherein agents partition hourly ad slots into submarkets and place bids strategically where they anticipate being in the numerical minority. This strategic heterogeneity facilitates reduced expenditure while enhancing win probability, functioning as an endogenous bid shading mechanism. The analysis highlights the computational and economic implications of minority strategies in shaping bidder dynamics and pricing outcomes in decentralized, high-frequency auction environments.</description>

-      <description>arXiv:2512.10112v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: In a strategy-proof mechanism, the influence of an agent may be measured as the set of outcomes an agent can bring about by varying her (reported) type. More specifically, we refer to an agent's influence on her own relevant outcomes as her freedom, and to the influence on outcomes relevant for other agents as her power over others. The framework generalises both the notion of opportunity set from the freedom of choice literature, and established power indices for binary voting. It identifies constrained efficient mechanisms as those that maximise agents' freedom. Applying our framework to the analysis of assignment rules, we provide novel characterisations of the top trading cycles rule and bipolar serial dictatorships in terms of their freedom and power properties.</description>

+Abstract: To model the interaction of fiscal and monetary policy, a novel discrete-time, uncertain, infinite time horizon, dynamic game model is developed, where the uncertainties of expectations are modeled by unknown nonlinear but quadratically constrained deterministic functions. Cost-guaranteeing Nash strategies are defined for fiscal and monetary policy as two players. The model is suitable for comparative analysis of the development paths of catching-up economies. Specifically, we evaluate nine possible development paths for the Hungarian economy, where each path is characterised by a proxy for the debt-to-GDP ratio.</description>

-      <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10125</link>
-      <description>arXiv:2512.10125v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: If agents engage in motivated reasoning, how does that affect the aggregation of information in society? We study the effects of motivated reasoning in two canonical settings - the Condorcet jury theorem (CJT), and the sequential social learning model (SLM). We define a notion of motivated reasoning that applies to these and a broader class of other settings, and contrast it to other approaches in the literature. We show for the CJT that information aggregates in the large electorate limit even with motivated reasoning. When signal quality differs across states, increasing motivation improves welfare in the state with the more informative signal and worsens it in the other state. In the SLM, motivated reasoning improves information aggregation up to a point; but if agents place too little weight on truth-seeking, this can lead to worse aggregation relative to the fully Bayesian benchmark.</description>

-      <title>Inference for Batched Adaptive Experiments</title>

-      <description>arXiv:2512.10156v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: The advantages of adaptive experiments have led to their rapid adoption in economics, other fields, as well as among practitioners. However, adaptive experiments pose challenges for causal inference. This note suggests a BOLS (batched ordinary least squares) test statistic for inference of treatment effects in adaptive experiments. The statistic provides a precision-equalizing aggregation of per-period treatment-control differences under heteroskedasticity. The combined test statistic is a normalized average of heteroskedastic per-period z-statistics and can be used to construct asymptotically valid confidence intervals. We provide simulation results comparing rejection rates in the typical case with few treatment periods and few (or many) observations per batch.</description>

+Abstract: The double machine learning (DML) method combines the predictive power of machine learning with statistical estimation to conduct inference about the structural parameter of interest. This paper presents the R package `xtdml`, which implements DML methods for partially linear panel regression models with low-dimensional fixed effects, high-dimensional confounding variables, proposed by Clarke and Polselli (2025). The package provides functionalities to: (a) learn nuisance functions with machine learning algorithms from the `mlr3` ecosystem, (b) handle unobserved individual heterogeneity choosing among first-difference transformation, within-group transformation, and correlated random effects, (c) transform the covariates with min-max normalization and polynomial expansion to improve learning performance. We showcase the use of `xtdml` with both simulated and real longitudinal data.</description>

-      <description>arXiv:2512.10203v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: We study Sybil manipulation in BRACE, a competitive equilibrium mechanism for combinatorial exchanges, by treating identity creation as a finite perturbation of the empirical distribution of reported types. Under standard regularity assumptions on the excess demand map and smoothness of principal utilities, we obtain explicit linear bounds on price and welfare deviations induced by bounded Sybil invasion. Using these bounds, we prove a sharp contrast: strategyproofness in the large holds if and only if each principal's share of identities vanishes, whereas any principal with a persistent positive share can construct deviations yielding strictly positive limiting gains. We further show that the feasibility of BRACE fails in the event of an unbounded population of Sybils and provide a precise cost threshold that ensures disincentivization of such attacks in large markets.</description>

+Abstract: The Bank of Korea (BoK) regularly publishes the Economic Outlook, offering forecasts for key macroeconomic variables such as GDP growth, inflation, and unemployment rates. This study examines whether the BoK's inflation forecasts exhibit bias, specifically a tendency to align with its inflation target. We extend the Holden and Peel (1990) test to incorporate state-dependency, defining the state of the economy based on whether realized inflation falls below the target at the time of the forecast. Our analysis reveals that the BoK's inflation forecasts are biased under this state-dependent framework. Furthermore, we examine a range of bias correction strategies based on AR(1) and mean error models, including their state-dependent variants. These strategies generally improve forecast accuracy. Among them, the AR(1)-based correction exhibits relatively stable performance, consistently reducing the root mean square error.</description>

-      <title>AI-Enhanced TOE Framework for Sustainable Industrial Performance in Fragile and Transforming Economies: Evidence from Yemen and Saudi Arabia</title>
-      <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10333</link>

-Abstract: Using an integrated framework rooted in the TOE model enhanced with AI, this study looks at ways to improve industrial performance and environmental sustainability in fragile and rapidly transforming contexts such as those found in Yemen and Saudi Arabia. Data for the research are field-based and were obtained from a total of 600 SMEs operating in both countries. Based on the questionnaires' responses by 294 managers, results from the partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) have indicated significant positive effects of AI-TOE on environmental performance (beta = 0.487) and manufacturing performance (beta = 0.759). Results indicate that AI acts as a transformative force, though its impact differs based on the maturity of infrastructure and organizational readiness. The Saudi SMEs gain from their institutional support and advanced technologies, while those in Yemen are dependent on the low-cost adoption of AI and organizational flexibility to accept structural challenges. PLS-SEM analysis of the study showed that integrating AI into the TOE dimensions accelerates operational efficiency in order to support environmental performance. Industrial performance was found to be a very important mediator in this relationship. This study responds to the call for digital transformation literature by providing an actionable framework of AI adoption in resource-constrained environments. These findings offer insights that might guide policymakers and organizations toward more resilient and sustainable operational strategies. These findings provide valuable guidance for engineering managers within the context of negotiating digital transformation and sustainability trade-offs in fragile and resource-constrained contexts.</description>

+Abstract: This paper studies preference aggregation under ambiguity when agents have incomplete preference relations due to imprecise beliefs. We introduce the "dual" of the Pareto principle, which respects unanimity among individuals, including those with unexpressed opinions. Our first theorem shows that, in most cases, this principle leads to a dictatorial rule in taste aggregation. We argue that this stems from the problem of spurious unanimity, even when the individuals have the same prior set. By weakening the above principle to avoid respecting spurious unanimity, the second theorem characterizes novel belief-aggregation rules, under which society does not discard any combination of plausible priors.</description>

-Abstract: The International Air Transport Association (IATA) states that the revenue from interline tickets must be shared among the different airlines according to a weighted system. We analyze this problem following an axiomatic approach, and our theoretical results support IATA's procedure. Our first result justifies the use of a weighted system, but it does not specify which weights should be applied. Assuming that the weights are fixed, we provide several results that further support the use of IATA's mechanism. Finally, we provide results for the case in which all flights can be considered equivalent and no weighting is required.</description>

+Abstract: The Fourth Industrial Revolution commonly refers to the accelerating technological transformation that has been taking place in the 21st century. Economic growth theories which treat the accumulation of knowledge and its effect on production endogenously remain relevant, yet they have been evolving to explain how the current wave of advancements in automation and artificial intelligence (AI) technology will affect productivity and different occupations. The work contributes to current economic discourse by developing an analytical task-based framework that endogenously integrates knowledge accumulation with frictions that describe technological lock-in and the burden of knowledge generation and validation. The interaction between production (or automation) and growth (or knowledge accumulation) is also described explicitly. To study how automation and AI shape economic outcomes, I rely on high-throughput calculations of the developed model. The effect of the model's structural parameters on key variables such as the production output, wages, and labor shares of output is quantified, and possible intervention strategies are briefly discussed. An important result is that wages and labor shares are not directly linked, instead they can be influenced independently through distinct policy levers.</description>

-      <title>Reconstructing Transportation Cost Planning Theory: A Multi-Layered Framework Integrating Stepwise Functions, AI-Driven Dynamic Pricing, and Sustainable Autonomy</title>
-      <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10494</link>
-      <description>arXiv:2512.10494v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: The theoretical landscape of transportation cost planning is shifting from deterministic linear models to dynamic, data-driven optimization. As supply chains face volatility, static 20th-century cost assumptions prove increasingly inadequate. Despite rapid technological advancements, a unified framework linking economic production theory with the operational realities of autonomous, sustainable logistics remains absent. Existing models fail to address non-linear stepwise costs and real-time stochastic variables introduced by market dynamics. This study reconstructs transportation cost planning theory by synthesizing Grand, Middle-Range, and Applied theories. It aims to integrate stepwise cost functions, AI-driven decision-making, and environmental externalities into a cohesive planning model. A systematic theoretical synthesis was conducted using 28 high-impact papers published primarily between 2018 and 2025, employing multi-layered analysis to reconstruct cost drivers. The study identifies three critical shifts: the transition from linear to stepwise fixed costs, the necessity of AI-driven dynamic pricing for revenue optimization, and the role of Autonomous Electric Vehicles (AEVs) in minimizing long-term marginal costs. A "Dynamic-Sustainable Cost Planning Theory" is proposed, arguing that cost efficiency now depends on algorithmic prediction and autonomous fleet utilization rather than simple distance minimization.</description>

+      <description>arXiv:2512.16373v1 Announce Type: new 
+Abstract: International remittances represent a vital source of disaster adaptation finance for households around the world, yet their responsiveness to environmental disasters remains poorly quantified. We reveal a previously unmeasured global macro-financial system of international migrant diasporas remittances response to the occurrence of disasters in the country of origin. We do so by developing a structural model simulating individual remittance decisions, calibrated with global disaster records and bilateral monthly remittances flow data from the period 2010-2019. Our analysis reveals that approximately 332 billion USD (5.46\% of total remittances) were mobilized specifically in response to earthquakes, floods, storms, and droughts over the decade. Earthquakes triggered the largest remittance responses per person affected, while droughts elicited the smallest. The model also identifies significant variation in diaspora groups' capacity to activate financial support. These findings establish remittances as a substantial yet limited form of disaster finance, highlighting their importance and limitations in building resilience against future environmental shocks.</description>

-Abstract: The biotech venture market faces intense capital demands and regulatory scrutiny, yet academic research on VC networks remains rooted in software and consumer-tech contexts. This dissertation investigates how repeated co-investment ties and domain-expertise homophily influence a venture's exit likelihood, timing, and route amid the sector's pronounced technological and market uncertainty. Using a novel panel of 11,680 biotechnology start-ups from the United States, Canada, and Europe (2010-2024), we apply pooled logit, Cox proportional-hazards, multinomial logit, and Fine-Gray competing-risk models. Our findings show that both average prior co-investment and investor homophily exhibit robust inverted-U relationships with exit outcomes. Moderate familiarity and scientific overlap maximize exit probability, while either sparse or excessive embedding reduces success. Governance mechanisms also play a crucial role: participation of a pharmaceutical corporate VC or a highly independent board flattens the negative effects of over-embedding, enabling syndicates to sustain exit momentum at higher levels of familiarity or homogeneity. Furthermore, the optimal degree of embeddedness is route-specific: IPOs require deeper coordination than trade sales, while acquisitions peak earlier and are less sensitive to homophily. These findings refine network-embeddedness theory in the life-science context, identify governance contingencies, and offer practitioners quantitative metrics to balance trust, expertise, and oversight in biotech financing.</description>

+Abstract: This paper develops a real-time forecasting framework for the monthly real prices of four key industrial metals -- aluminum, copper, nickel, and zinc -- whose demand is rising due to their widespread use in manufacturing and low-carbon technologies. To replicate the information set available to forecasters in real time, we construct a new dataset combining daily financial variables with first-release macroeconomic indicators and use nowcasting techniques to address publication lags. Within this real-time environment, we evaluate the predictive accuracy of a broad set of univariate, multivariate, and factor-augmented models, comparing their performance with two industry benchmarks: survey expectations and futures-spot spread models. Results show that although short-run metal price movements remain difficult to predict, medium-term horizons display substantial forecastability. Indicators of manufacturing activity tied to primary metals -- such as new orders and capacity utilization -- significantly improve forecasting accuracy for aluminum and copper, with more moderate gains for zinc and limited improvements for nickel. Futures and survey forecasts generally underperform the real-time econometric models. These findings highlight the value of incorporating timely macroeconomic information into forecasting frameworks for industrial metal markets.</description>

-      <title>The Distributional Consequences of Paid-Priority Queues</title>
-      <link>https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10594</link>
-      <description>arXiv:2512.10594v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: This note examines the distributional implications of introducing a fast-track queue for accessing a service when agents are heterogeneous in both income and service valuation. Relative to a single free queue, I show that willingness to adopt the priority system is determined solely by income, regardless of service valuation. High-income individuals benefit from the fast-track access, while low-income individuals are worse off and remain in the free line. Middle-income individuals weakly prefer the single free queue; yet, under the priority regime, they pay for fast-track access. Thus, the use of the priority queue does not reveal preferences for the priority system.</description>

+      <description>arXiv:2512.16587v1 Announce Type: new 
+Abstract: What was the origin of modern economic growth? Joel Mokyr has argued that self-sustained modern economic growth originated from a feedback loop between propositional (theoretical) and prescriptive (applied) knowledge, which turned positive in the eighteenth century during the "Industrial Enlightenment". While influential, this thesis has never been directly tested. This paper provides the first quantitative evidence by estimating the impact of knowledge spillovers between propositional and prescriptive knowledge on innovation in England, 1600-1800. For this, it introduces two new text-based measures for 1) the innovativeness of publications and 2) knowledge spillovers. The paper finds strong evidence that a feedback loop between propositional and prescriptive knowledge became positive during the second half of the eighteenth century. It also documents that this process had positive effects on the real economy as measured through patents. Overall, the findings provide empirical support for Mokyr's original hypothesis.</description>

-      <description>arXiv:2512.10672v1 Announce Type: new 
-Abstract: We develop a dynamic model of economic complexity that endogenously generates a transition between unconditional and conditional convergence. In this model, convergence turns conditional as the capability intensity of activities rises. We solve the model analytically, deriving closed-form solutions for the boundary separating unconditional from conditional convergence and show that this model also explains the path-dependent diversification process known as the principle of relatedness. This model provides an explanation for transitions between conditional and unconditional convergence and path-dependent diversification.</description>

+      <description>arXiv:2512.16806v1 Announce Type: new 
+Abstract: Can constantly comparing ourselves to others lead to overconsumption, ultimately increasing the ecological footprint? How do social comparisons shape green preferences over time? To answer these questions, we develop an environmental Overlapping Generations (OLG) model that explicitly accounts for Veblen effects and allows green preferences to be updated asynchronously, influenced by past environmental conditions and relative status considerations. We show that, along the optimal path, positional spending leads to overconsumption, which is detrimental to the environment. Taxing consumption is counterproductive as it does not directly address the social comparisons issue, leaving the problem unchanged. When the Veblenian mechanism is weak, the introduction of a materialistic ``secular trend'' -- that lowers the importance placed on the public good -- gives rise to two stable equilibria separated by a saddle: one in which agents care about environmental quality as much as consuming, and the other in which they derive utility solely from the latter. Studying the basins of attraction reveals that green investments are highly fragile. Our numerical experiments further indicated that, when Veblen effects are strong, the model depicts endogenous, persistent, aperiodic oscillations. In this case, green preferences fluctuate close to zero, and environmental quality is very low. Taken together, these findings suggest environmental vulnerability grows in parallel with status-driven consumption.</description>

-Abstract: In sorting literature, comparative statics for multidimensional assignment models with general output functions and input distributions is an important open question. We provide a complete theory of comparative statics for technological change in general multidimensional assignment models. Our main result is that any technological change is uniquely decomposed into two distinct components. The first component (gradient) gives a characterization of changes in marginal earnings through a Poisson equation. The second component (divergence-free) gives a characterization of labor reallocation. For U.S. data, we quantify equilibrium responses in sorting and earnings with respect to cognitive skill-biased technological change.</description>

+Abstract: We study continuous-time persuasion where a sender controls both how informative a signal is over time and when to stop providing information to a receiver. Given an exogenous signal process, the sender can both garble the evolving signal path and delay the receiver's decision at a convex, increasing cost of time. We show that, although both instruments are available, any optimal persuasion scheme is fully transparent: the sender keeps the signal fully informative and persuades solely by choosing when to stop.</description>

Our main algorithm is for two-player games, and we describe how it can be extended to multiplayer games. The algorithm is sound and computes all ESSs in nondegenerate games and a subset of them in degenerate games which contain an infinite continuum of symmetric Nash equilibria. The algorithm is anytime and can be stopped early to find one or more ESSs. We experiment on an imperfect-information cancer signaling game as well as random games to demonstrate scalability.</description>

+      <description>arXiv:2512.16452v1 Announce Type: cross 
+Abstract: Growing concerns about fairness, privacy, robustness, and transparency have made it a central expectation of AI governance that automated decisions be explainable by institutions and intelligible to affected parties. We introduce the Smart Data Portfolio (SDP) framework, which treats data categories as productive but risk-bearing assets, formalizing input governance as an information-risk trade-off. Within this framework, we define two portfolio-level quantities, Informational Return and Governance-Adjusted Risk, whose interaction characterizes data mixtures and generates a Governance-Efficient Frontier. Regulators shape this frontier through risk caps, admissible categories, and weight bands that translate fairness, privacy, robustness, and provenance requirements into measurable constraints on data allocation while preserving model flexibility. A telecommunications illustration shows how different AI services require distinct portfolios within a common governance structure. The framework offers a familiar portfolio logic as an input-level explanation layer suited to the large-scale deployment of AI systems.</description>

-      <description>arXiv:2512.10467v1 Announce Type: cross 
-Abstract: This paper presents a systematic framework for controlling false discovery rate in learning time-varying correlation networks from high-dimensional, non-linear, non-Gaussian and non-stationary time series with an increasing number of potential abrupt change points in means. We propose a bootstrap-assisted approach to derive dependent and time-varying P-values from a robust estimate of time-varying correlation functions, which are not sensitive to change points. Our procedure is based on a new high-dimensional Gaussian approximation result for the uniform approximation of P-values across time and different coordinates. Moreover, we establish theoretically guaranteed Benjamini--Hochberg and Benjamini--Yekutieli procedures for the dependent and time-varying P-values, which can achieve uniform false discovery rate control. The proposed methods are supported by rigorous mathematical proofs and simulation studies. We also illustrate the real-world application of our framework using both brain electroencephalogram and financial time series data.</description>

This paper then focuses on working out the implications of this in the case of the canonical exponential family. The results are simple exact filters, predictors and smoothers with linear recursions. A theory for these models is developed and the models are illustrated on simulated and real data.</description>

+Abstract: We derive asymptotically optimal statistical decision rules for discrete choice problems when payoffs depend on a partially-identified parameter $\theta$ and the decision maker can use a point-identified parameter $\mu$ to deduce restrictions on $\theta$. Examples include treatment choice under partial identification and pricing with rich unobserved heterogeneity. Our notion of optimality combines a minimax approach to handle the ambiguity from partial identification of $\theta$ given $\mu$ with an average risk minimization approach for $\mu$. We show how to implement optimal decision rules using the bootstrap and (quasi-)Bayesian methods in both parametric and semiparametric settings. We provide detailed applications to treatment choice and optimal pricing. Our asymptotic approach is well suited for realistic empirical settings in which the derivation of finite-sample optimal rules is intractable.</description>

-Abstract: I study dynamic contracting where Sender privately observes a Markovian state and seeks to motivate Receiver, who acts. Sender provides incentives in two ways: payments, which alter payoffs ex-post, and (Bayesian) persuasion, which shapes Receiver interim beliefs about payoffs. For all stage game payoffs, discount rates, and Markov transition rules, transfers are a last resort-there is an optimal contract where payments occur only after Sender commits to reveal the state at every continuation history. In an example, the optimal contract is a loyalty program: Sender chooses the static optimal information structure until a random promotion time, after which Sender reveals the state and pays Receiver.</description>

+Abstract: We study a sender-receiver model in which the receiver can commit to a decision rule before the sender determines the information policy. The decision rule can depend on the information structure chosen by the sender and the realized signals. This framework captures applications where a decision-maker (the receiver) seeks advice from an interested party (the sender). In these applications, the receiver frequently faces uncertainty regarding the sender's preferences and the set of feasible information structures. Consequently, we adopt a unified robust analysis framework that includes the max-min utility, the min-max regret, and the min-max competitive ratio as special cases. We show that the optimal decision rule is always a quota rule.</description>

-      <description>arXiv:2506.09664v4 Announce Type: replace 
-Abstract: This paper develops an algorithm for detecting US recessions in real time. The algorithm constructs hundreds of millions of recession classifiers by combining unemployment and vacancy data. Classifiers are then selected to avoid both false negatives (missed recessions) and false positives (nonexistent recessions). The selected classifiers are perfect in a statistical sense: they identify all 15 historical recessions in the 1929--2021 training period without any false positives. By further selecting classifiers that lie on the high-precision segment of the anticipation-precision frontier, the algorithm delivers early detection without sacrificing accuracy. On average between 1929 and 2021, the selected classifier ensemble signals recessions 2.1 months after their true onset, with a standard deviation of detection errors of 1.8 months. The classifier ensemble is much faster than the NBER Business Cycle Dating Committee: between 1979 and 2021, the committee takes on average 6.3 months to determine recession starts, while the classifier ensemble only takes 1.2 months. Applied to September 2025 data, the classifier ensemble gives a 64% probability that the US economy has entered a recession. A placebo test and backtests confirm the algorithm's reliability.</description>

+Abstract: Evidence on the effectiveness of retraining U.S. unemployed workers primarily comes from evaluations of training programs, which represent one narrow avenue for skill acquisition. We use high-quality records from Ohio and a matching method to estimate the effects of retraining, broadly defined as enrollment in postsecondary institutions. Our simple method bridges two strands of the dynamic treatment effect literature that estimate the treatment-now-versus-later and treatment-versus-no-treatment effects. We find that enrollees experience earnings gains of six percent three to four years after enrolling, after depressed earnings during the first two years. The earnings effects are driven by industry-switchers, particularly to healthcare.</description>

-Abstract: The rapid growth of digital shopping channels has prompted many traditional retailers to invest in e-commerce websites and mobile apps. While prior literature shows that multichannel customers are more valuable, it overlooks how the motive for adopting a new channel shapes post-adoption behavior. Using transaction-level data from a major Brazilian pet supplies retailer, we study offline-only consumers who adopt online shopping via four distinct pathways: organic adoption, the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Friday promotions, and a loyalty program. We examine how these pathways affect post-adoption spend, profitability, and channel usage using consumer-level panel data and difference-in-differences estimates. We find that all adopters increase spending relative to offline-only consumers, but their post-adoption behaviors differ systematically by adoption motive. Promotion-driven adopters engage in forward buying and exhibit lower subsequent profitability, whereas COVID-19 adopters display stronger offline persistence consistent with consumer inertia and habit theory. Our findings have important managerial implications: firms should design promotions that discourage stockpiling, reinforce habits among customers pushed online by external shocks, and explicitly account for heterogeneity in channel adoption motives when forecasting customer lifetime value and assessing the breakeven and ROI of promotions designed to induce the adoption of new channels.</description>

+Abstract: Network connections, both across and within markets, are central in countless economic contexts. In recent decades, a large literature has developed and applied flexible methods for measuring network connectedness and its evolution, based on variance decompositions from vector autoregressions (VARs), as in Diebold and Yilmaz (2014). Those VARs are, however, typically identified using full orthogonalization (Sims, 1980), or no orthogonalization (Koop, Pesaran and Potter, 1996; Pesaran and Shin, 1998), which, although useful, are special and extreme cases of a more general framework that we develop in this paper. In particular, we allow network nodes to be connected in ``clusters", such as asset classes, industries, regions, etc., where shocks are orthogonal across clusters (Sims style orthogonalized identification) but correlated within clusters (Koop-Pesaran-Potter-Shin style generalized identification), so that the ordering of network nodes is relevant across clusters but irrelevant within clusters. After developing the clustered connectedness framework, we apply it in a detailed empirical exploration of sixteen country equity markets spanning three global regions.</description>

+Abstract: We examine how railway expansion shaped Denmark's nineteenth-century economic transformation and the diffusion of civic engagement in the form of Grundtvigian institutions. Using a new parish-level panel (1,589 parishes) and a difference-in-differences design that accounts for staggered adoption, we find that railroad connection increased local population by about 7 percent, driven in part by higher internal in-migration (roughly 10 percent), and accelerated structural change (manufacturing employment rises by about 1.8 percentage points and the non-agricultural share by about 2 percentage points). Rail access also increased the probability that a parish hosted a folk high school by about 1.7 percentage points and raised the local densities of both folk high schools and community houses. Overall, the results suggest that market access was not only a driver of economic modernization but also a catalyst for institutional and cultural transformation.</description>

-Abstract: Leveraging Tennessee's 2005 Medicaid contraction, I study the impact of losing public health insurance on body weight and relevant health behaviors. Using Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from 1997 to 2010, I estimate synthetic difference-in-differences models. The estimates suggest that the reform increased Body Mass Index by 0.38 points and the overweight or obesity prevalence (BMI$\geq$25) by $\sim$4\% among Tennessean childless adults. My findings -- a 21\% increase in the share of childless adults reporting ``poor'' health status (the lowest level on the five-point scale), a reduction in Medicaid-reimbursed utilization of pain and anti-inflammatory medications, and a reduction in participation in moderate physical activities -- suggest that worsening unmanaged health conditions may be a key pathway through which coverage loss affected weight gain. Additionally, my analysis offers practical guidance for conducting robust inference in single treated cluster settings with limited pre-treatment data.</description>

+Abstract: As a key advancement in artificial intelligence, large language models (LLMs) are set to transform transportation systems. While LLMs offer the potential to simulate human travelers in future mixed-autonomy transportation systems, their behavioral fidelity in complex scenarios remains largely unconfirmed by existing research. This study addresses this gap by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the value of travel time (VOT) of three popular LLMs. We employ a full factorial experimental design to systematically examine LLMs' sensitivities to various transportation contexts, including the choice setting, travel purpose, and socio-demographic factors. Our results reveal a high degree of behavioral similarity between LLMs and humans. Some LLMs exhibit an aggregate VOT similar to that of humans, and all tested models demonstrate human-like sensitivity to travel purpose, income, and the time-cost trade-off ratios of the alternatives. Furthermore, the behavioral patterns of LLMs are highly consistent across varied contexts. However, while the behavior of every single model is highly robust, we also find some heterogeneity across models regarding the magnitude and direction of sensitivity to travel contexts and income elasticity. Overall, this study provides a foundational benchmark for the future development of LLMs as proxies for human travelers, demonstrating their robust decision-making capabilities while cautioning that misaligned magnitudes of economic trade-offs between humans and LLMs necessitate rigorous validation and additional conditioning of LLMs before their application.</description>

-Abstract: This paper proposes a structural multivariate unobserved components model with external instrument (SMUC-IV) to investigate the effects of monetary policy shocks on key U.S. macroeconomic "stars"-namely, the level of potential output, the growth rate of potential output, trend inflation, and the neutral interest rate. A key feature of our approach is the use of an external instrument to identify monetary policy shocks within the multivariate unob- served components modeling framework. We develop an MCMC estimation method to facilitate posterior inference within our proposed SMUC-IV frame- work. In addition, we propose an marginal likelihood estimator to enable model comparison across alternative specifications. Our empirical analysis shows that contractionary monetary policy shocks have significant negative effects on the macroeconomic stars, highlighting the nonzero long-run effects of transitory monetary policy shocks.</description>

+Abstract: We develop a resource-efficient methodology for measuring economic outlook in news text that combines document embeddings with synthetic training data generated by large language models. Applied to 27 million news articles, the resulting indicator significantly improves GDP growth forecast accuracy and captures sentiment shifts weeks before official releases, proving particularly valuable during crises. The indicator outperforms both survey-based benchmarks and traditional dictionary methods and is interpretable, allowing identification of specific drivers of economic sentiment. Our approach addresses key institutional constraints: it performs sentiment classification locally, enabling analysis of proprietary news content without transmission to external services while requiring minimal computational resources compared to direct LLM classification. The methodology generalizes to other countries and restricted data environments.</description>

-Abstract: This paper develops a prior-free model of data-driven decision making in which the decision maker observes the entire distribution of signals generated by a known experiment under an unknown distribution of the state variable and evaluates actions according to their worst-case payoff over the set of state distributions consistent with that observation. We show how our model applies to partial identification in econometrics and propose a ranking of experiments in which E is robustly more informative than E' if the value of the decision maker's problem after observing E is always at least as high as the value of the decision maker's problem after observing E'. This comparison, which is strictly weaker than Blackwell's classical order, holds if and only if the null space of E is contained in the null space of E'.</description>

+Abstract: This paper studies the axiomatic bargaining problem and proposes a new class of bargaining solutions, called coarse Nash solutions. These solutions assign to each problem a set of outcomes coarser than that chosen by the classical Nash solution (Nash, 1950). Our main result shows that these solutions can be characterized by new rationality axioms for choice correspondences, which are modifications of Nash's independence of irrelevant alternatives (or more precisely, Arrow's (1959) choice axiom), when combined with standard axioms.</description>

+Abstract: Leaving posterior sensitivity concerns aside, non-identifiability of the parameters does not raise a difficulty for Bayesian inference as far as the posterior is proper, but multi-modality or flat regions of the posterior induced by the lack of identification leaves a challenge for modern Bayesian computation. Sampling methods often struggle with slow or non-convergence when dealing with multiple modes or flat regions of the target distributions. This paper develops a novel Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach for non-identified models, leveraging the knowledge of observationally equivalent sets of parameters, and highlights an important role that identification plays in modern Bayesian analysis.We show that our identification-aware proposal eliminates mode entrapment, achieving a convergence rate uniformly bounded away from zero, in sharp contrast to the exponentially decaying rates characterizing standard Random Walk Metropolis and Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. Simulation studies show its superior performance compared to other popular computational methods including Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and sequential Monte Carlo. We also demonstrate that our method uncovers non-trivial modes in the target distribution in a structural vector moving-average (SVMA) application.</description>

We show that the revenue-optimal mechanism is simple: deploy a single aligned (user-optimal) model and use token cap as the only instrument to screen the user. The design decouples model training from pricing, is readily implemented with token metering, and mitigates misalignment pressures.</description>

+  Food security refers to people's access to enough safe nutritious food in order to be able to lead a healthy active life. It also involves elements such as food availability and affordability, as well as people being able to access food that can be consumed healthily. Natural disasters, however, can seriously threaten food security. Disasters' effects on food security are especially more evident in countries such as Turkiye that are frequently exposed to natural disasters due to their geologic and geographical structure. For this reason, the study investigates the effects of natural disasters on food security in Turkiye. The research first creates the Food Security Index in order to estimate the effects of natural disasters on food security. The next phase follows the process of econometric analysis, which consists of three steps. Step one of the econometric analysis uses unit root tests to check the stationarity levels of the series. The second step uses the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds test to examine the long-term relationship between natural disasters and food security. The third and final step estimates the effects of natural disasters on food security. According to the obtained results, the study shows earthquakes, storms, and floods to have a significant short- as well as long-term negative effect on food security. The overall impact of natural disasters on food security has also been determined to be negative.</description>

+Abstract: This paper proposes a simple unified inference approach on moment restrictions in the presence of nuisance parameters. The proposed test is constructed based on a new characterization that avoids the estimation of nuisance parameters and can be broadly applied across diverse settings. Under suitable conditions, the test is shown to be asymptotically size controlled and consistent for both independent and dependent samples. Monte Carlo simulations show that the test performs well in finite samples. Numerical results from the application to conditional moment restriction models with weak instruments demonstrate that the proposed method may improve upon existing approaches in the literature.</description>

+Abstract: Hybrid-quantum classical optimization has emerged as a promising direction for addressing financial decision problems under current quantum hardware constraints. In this work we present a practical end-to-end portfolio optimization pipeline that combines (i) a continuous mean-variance and Sharpe-ratio formulation, (ii) a QUBO/CQM-based discrete asset selection stage solved using D-Wave's hybrid quantum annealing solver, (iii) classical convex optimization for computing optimal asset weights, and (iv) a quarterly rebalancing mechanism. Rather than claiming quantum advantage, our goal is to evaluate the feasibility and integration of these components within a deployable financial workflow. We empirically compare our hybrid pipeline against a fund manager in real time and indexes used in Indian stock market. The results indicate that the proposed framework can construct diversified portfolios and achieve competitive returns. We also report computational considerations and scalability observations drawn from the hybrid solver behaviour. While the experiments are limited to moderate sized portfolios dictated by current annealing hardware and QUBO embedding constraints, the study illustrates how quantum assisted selection and classical allocation can be combined coherently in a real-world setting. This work emphasizes methodological reproducibility and practical applicability, and aims to serve as a step toward larger-scale financial optimization workflows as quantum annealers continue to mature.</description>

-Abstract: We study the long-standing problem of determining the number of principal components in econometric applications from a selective inference perspective. We consider i.i.d. observations from a $p$-dimensional random vector with $p&lt;n$ and define the ``true'' dimensionality as the rank of the population covariance matrix. Building on the sequential testing viewpoint, we propose a data-driven procedure that estimates $\rank(\Sigma_X)$ using a statistic that depends on the eigenvalues of the sample covariance matrix. While the test statistic shares the functional form of its fixed design counterpart Choi et al. (2017), our analysis departs from the non-stochastic setting by treating the design as random and by avoiding parametric Gaussian assumptions. Under a locally defined null hypothesis, we establish asymptotically exact type~I error controls in the sequential testing procedure, with simulation results indicating empirical validity of the proposed method.</description>

+Abstract: Discrete choice models (DCMs) are used to analyze individual decision-making in contexts such as transportation choices, political elections, and consumer preferences. DCMs play a central role in applied econometrics by enabling inference on key economic variables, such as marginal rates of substitution, rather than focusing solely on predicting choices on new unlabeled data. However, while traditional DCMs offer high interpretability and support for point and interval estimation of economic quantities, these models often underperform in predictive tasks compared to deep learning (DL) models. Despite their predictive advantages, DL models remain largely underutilized in discrete choice due to concerns about their lack of interpretability, unstable parameter estimates, and the absence of established methods for uncertainty quantification. Here, we introduce a deep learning model architecture specifically designed to integrate with approximate Bayesian inference methods, such as Stochastic Gradient Langevin Dynamics (SGLD). Our proposed model collapses to behaviorally informed hypotheses when data is limited, mitigating overfitting and instability in underspecified settings while retaining the flexibility to capture complex nonlinear relationships when sufficient data is available. We demonstrate our approach using SGLD through a Monte Carlo simulation study, evaluating both predictive metrics--such as out-of-sample balanced accuracy--and inferential metrics--such as empirical coverage for marginal rates of substitution interval estimates. Additionally, we present results from two empirical case studies: one using revealed mode choice data in NYC, and the other based on the widely used Swiss train choice stated preference data.</description>

-                <description>Using a dual-cation substitution approach, researchers at Science Tokyo introduced ferromagnetism into bismuth ferrite, a well-known and promising multiferroic material for next-generation memory technologies. By replacing ions at both the bismuth and iron sites with calcium ions and heavier elements, they modified the spin structure and achieved ferromagnetism at room temperature. Additionally, negative thermal expansion was observed. This ability to engineer magnetism and thermal expansion in a multiferroic material aids in realizing future memory devices.</description>

+                <description>In order to scale quantum computers, more qubits must be added and interconnected. However, prior attempts to do this have resulted in a loss of connection quality, or fidelity. But, a new study published in Nature details the design of a new kind of processor that overcomes this problem. The processor, developed by the company Silicon Quantum Computing, uses silicon—the main material used in classical computers—along with phosphorus atoms to link 11 qubits.</description>

-                <title>Magnetic ordering induces Jahn-Teller effect in spinel-type compounds</title>
-                <description>The Jahn-Teller effect, proposed by Jahn and Teller in 1937, describes how molecules or crystals with degenerate electronic orbitals can lower their total energy by distorting their structure. This distortion lifts the degeneracy, stabilizing certain orbitals that become occupied by electrons. While many materials exhibiting this effect have been found, the involvement of spin—the source of magnetism—has rarely been observed because magnetic ordering usually occurs at much lower temperatures than structural distortions caused by the Jahn-Teller effect.</description>

+                <description>Superconductors are materials that can conduct electricity with zero resistance, usually only at very low temperatures. Most superconductors behave according to well-established rules, but strontium ruthenate, Sr₂RuO₄, has defied clear understanding since its superconducting properties were discovered in 1994. It is considered one of the cleanest and best-studied unconventional superconductors, yet scientists still debate the precise structure and symmetry of the electron pairing that gives rise to its remarkable properties.</description>

+                <description>Describing matter under extreme conditions, such as those found inside neutron stars, remains an unsolved problem. The density of such matter is equivalent to compressing around 100,000 Eiffel Towers into a single cubic centimeter. In particular, the properties of so-called quark matter—which consists of the universe&#039;s fundamental building blocks, the quarks, and may exist in extremely dense regions—play a central role.</description>

Now, they have found a way to dramatically simplify and strengthen the process by replacing the specialized crystals with thorium electroplated onto steel.</description>

+                <description>Light undergoes a unique phenomenon called superscattering, an optical illusion where a very small object scatters far more light than expected. This happens when multiple scattering modes overlap and interact, allowing tiny objects to scatter far more light than their size should allow.</description>

And he did so by carving into trees: “D. Boone cilled a bar”.</p>
-<p>To record memories and exploits, pioneers sometimes carved messages into trees and rock walls. Boone’s initials have been found on many trees throughout Kentucky and Tennessee. And on at least three of those trees, Boone recorded that he had killed a bear on that spot, followed by the year.</p>
-<p>Run-ins with bears were commonplace in the U.S. during the 18th century, and Daniel Boone is recorded to have killed a few in his lifetime. The trees he carved became some of America’s earliest tourist attractions as the country expanded West and Boone’s reputation as a pioneer grew.</p>
-<p>In present Washington County, Tennessee is the site of the last “Boone Bear Tree”: a tree with the carved inscription, “D. Boone cilled a bar in year 1760”. The tree itself fell over in 1920, so the town erected a marker with the same inscription to make sure no one forgot Boone’s feats. The wood from the felled tree was made into gavels for the town’s courthouse. The site and marker of the last “Boone Bear Tree” can still be visited in the small town of Gray, Tennessee, outside of Johnson City. </p>
-<p>Another tree in Tennessee had a similar inscription with the year “1775”, and another in Kentucky with the year “1803”; both carvings were recorded in historical documents, but the trees themselves have had their authenticity challenged.</p>]]>

At the height of its influence around 1800 the convent served over 70 parishes and missions over a vast swath of South America, and practically every mission into the Peruvian Amazon started from the school.</p>
+<p>In 1824 Simon Bolivar took the school, confiscated its riches and, finding only Spanish missionaries and teachers, ordered it shut down. While the school was reopened in 1838 it never regained its full splendour and in 1970 it was converted into a museum. </p>
+<p>The convent grounds now hosts many works of colonial art, including from members of the Cusco School, along with a natural history room and a library containing books from the fifteenth century. </p>]]>

Subsequent additions from the 14th century on had covered much of the original structure and art, but restorations in the 1980s allowed older paintings to come to light. </p>
-<p>In 2019, the convent was abandoned by the order, due to, as the order put it, a lack of callings to become nuns. Because of the great value of its art and architecture, the convent was turned into a museum, which opened in 2020.  </p>
-<p>It is now possible to visit the church, cloister, and two choirs.  It is particularly interesting because it provides the chance to see the ceiling wood panelling from very close, through a structure built for these purposes. This original panelling has been very well maintained (probably because it was covered in later centuries) and some say it shows the history of the union of the kingdoms of Castille and León. The oldest murals still visible on the walls date back to 1380. </p>
-<p>The "artesonado", a type of wooden ceiling cover typical of the Mudéjar architectural style of the region, dates back to the 14th century, and is intricately decorated. The complex also has a tower which can be climbed to enjoy wonderful views over Salamanca. </p>

The term "alebrijes" originated in Mexico City, and the first crafts to be called as such were made out of papier mache. Manuel Jimenez brought the idea to the state of Oaxaca, where the copal wood was the element of choice for local carvers to use in these figures, due to its ease to work with as well as the symbolic significance of the tree. The majority indigenous population in this area of the state is the Zapotec, and their culture exerts a large influence. Bursera copallifera is one of the species best known as copal, as it name indicates, but several other trees in the Bursera genus have this common name too. For several indigenous cultures, copal was valued for its resin, often dried and burned as a type of incense, with the smell of its smoke said to be able to "awake the gods" for the Zapotec.</p>
+<p>With alebrijes becoming one of Oaxaca's best-known crafts, along with masks and other carvings made out of copal, numbers of these trees began to decrease at an unsustainable rate. Morales himself noticed these issues and in 1994, he lead the first reforestation campaign in the area of Tilcajete and neighboring towns like Ocotlán. In the 21st century, the workshop of Jacobo and María Ángeles has become one of the most influential in the craft of alebrijes, often responsible for unusually large pieces with complex shapes, which require a large amount of copal wood. It was the Ángeles workshop that established Palo que Habla (which can be translated as Talking or Speaking Stick) in 2006, after the slow gathering of suitable land that started in the 2000s.</p>
+<p>Palo que Habla is set up as a multifaceted and constantly growing project encompassing several conservationist aims, with the main one being the nursing and establishment of copal groves which can then be sustainably harvested for wood. Its terrains also feature water catchment areas, fields for growing commercial flowers and crops (heirloom corn and beans in particular), many of which are showcased in Almú, its onsite restaurant. One of the project's most interesting practices is the yearly "Adopta un Árbol" (Adopt a Tree) campaign, which includes a reforestation campaign by volunteers along with a system for donors to sponsor a tree that they can name.</p>]]>

-<p>Covering an area of less than 2 square kilometers, Kulangsu packs a punch despite its tiny size. In particular, the island if famous for its fusion of architectural styles, which span from the traditional Fujianese to the Western-influenced colonial. The mix of architectural cultures is so prominent here that the building style of the island has been recognized as its own architectural style proper, now known as Amoy Deco Style.</p>
-<p>Kulangsu is also deeply connected to music. You won't find casinos or buffets here, but there are nearly 5,000 pianos scattered throughout many of the island's colonial buildings. China's fondness for piano music is rooted here, with the island having produced some of the country's most prolific musicians.</p>
-<p>The pedestrian-only pathways zigzagging throughout the island are endlessly charming and this mixture of scenery, culture, and history draws nearly 10 million visitors to Kulangsu yearly. </p>]]>

Are we looking at a clock tower in Bern, Switzerland, or Berne, Indiana? Alright, clearly there’s no real comparison—but if you find yourself in Berne, Indiana (population 4,257), you can’t miss their beautiful clock tower, a tribute to the Zytglogge in Bern, Switzerland.</p>
+<p>Located in Muensterberg Plaza, the Berne Clock Tower stands 160 feet tall (48.77 meters) and cost approximately $3.5 million (2,784,574.80 Swiss francs). It was dedicated in July 2010. In the warmer months, there is a daily glockenspiel show at noon, 3:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 9:00 p.m. The figures, each 5.5 feet tall (1.67 meters), perform the town’s history to music.</p>
+<p>Berne was originally settled by Swiss immigrants in the 1850s and has retained that connection—today, it is a sister city with Trachselwald, Switzerland. The town also has a large Swiss Amish population who speak a distinct Bernese German dialect. Berne’s shops, bakeries, and architecture proudly showcase the Swiss influence on the community. Each July, the town celebrates its heritage with the Swiss Days festival.</p>
+<p>Nearby, you’ll also find a one-of-a-kind attraction in the United States: the Berne Canton Tree. The front side of the tree features the coat of arms of all 26 Swiss cantons, along with those of the United States, Switzerland, Indiana, Berne, Bern, and Trachselwald. The back side displays a map of Switzerland showing the location of each canton.</p>
+<p>If you have the opportunity to visit Berne, come for the glockenspiel—but stay for the bakeries.</p>]]>

Downham, and influential labor leader John L. Lewis. In total, 37 members of the Lee family lived here between 1785 and 1903, and some say the house may even be haunted.</p>
-<p data-start="645" data-end="1282">The land was originally purchased by Henry “Light Horse” Lee, American <a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/lists/the-american-revolution">Revolutionary War</a> general and father of Robert E. Lee, who later sold it to his father-in-law Philip Fendall. Fendall designed the home in the “telescope” style popular in 18th-century Maryland, where he was born. A close friend of <a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/categories/george-washington">George Washington</a>, Fendall hosted the first president at the house seven times, Washington even wrote about their conversations in letters and journals. Presidents John Quincy Adams and Woodrow Wilson also visited the home later in its history. (Fun fact: Robert E. Lee didn’t live here, but he did grow up directly across the street.)</p>
-<p data-start="1284" data-end="1585">During the <a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/categories/civil-war-b4d7af7e-da10-4f31-9752-e3ea8ca7664e">Civil War</a>, the Lee Fendall House, along with more than 30 other Alexandria homes, was converted into a Union hospital. Known as the Grovesnor Branch Hospital, it operated under Dr. Edwin Bentley from 1863 to 1865 and became the site of the first successful blood transfusion of the Civil War.</p>
-<p data-start="1587" data-end="2053">After a number of postwar owners, the house was purchased in 1937 by John L. Lewis, the powerful and often controversial president of the United Mine Workers of America. Lewis challenged both Franklin D. Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman in the fight for workers’ rights, living in the home until his death in 1969. His son later sold the property to the Virginia Trust for Historic Preservation, and the Lee Fendall House Museum and Garden opened to the public in 1974.</p>]]>

At the foot of it is a smaller memorial stone with a unique carving found on no other grave marker. It shows a detailed depiction of the invention of Edward Ormerod.</p>
+<p>Edward Ormerod was a mining engineer who worked at the Gibfield Colliery in Atherton in the 19<sup>th</sup> century. The town was located on the Lancashire coal fields and was a major producer of high-quality coal during the Industrial Revolution. There were coal mines all over the region and it was a major employer.</p>
+<p>Mining was dangerous and accidents involving the equipment used to winch the coal to the surface from the coalface were common. In 1867 Edward Ormerod patented his ‘detaching hook’ which prevented the overwinding of cages as they reached the top of mine shafts.</p>
+<p>Edward Ormerod died in May 1894 and was interred in the Ormerod family plot at Atherton Cemetery. Such was the gratitude of the community for his invention that a tribute was commissioned and placed at the foot of his grave.</p>
+<p>This smaller gravestone has a detailed carving of the safety device Edward created. Around the edge is the inscription; ‘THIS STONE IS ERECTED IN MEMORY OF THE INVENTOR OF THE PATENT SAFETY LINK WHICH HAS BEEN THE MEANS OF THE SAVING OF MANY LIVES’.</p>
+<p>Edward’s invention is still manufactured and sold around the world – produced at the same location in Atherton by a company that carries his name ‘Edward Ormerod &amp; Co. Ltd.’</p>]]>

But beyond its giant <a href="https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/buddha-s-nostril">Buddha</a> and bustling courtyards, a few curious legends linger around its quieter corners.</p>
-<p data-start="512" data-end="858">Just off the main hall lies the Nekodan, or “Cat Stairway,” an unassuming flight of stone steps found in many Japanese temples, but with a story that sets it apart. According to local folklore, those who tumble on these steps will be reborn as a cat in their next life. Once a cautionary tale, the legend is now often seen as a whimsical blessing.</p>
-<p data-start="860" data-end="1155">Nara itself has deep ties to feline folklore. Some of the earliest written references to the nekomata, a supernatural cat yōkai with a split tail,  have been traced to the city, including a 1233 account of a man-eating nekomata. Whether the myth connects directly to the Nekodan is still a mystery.</p>
-<p data-start="1157" data-end="1387">For fans of yōkai lore, climb the Cat Stairway and look to your left: you’ll find Karakuni-jinja, a small shrine said to honor ancient Korean immigrants who helped build Tōdai-ji, as well as the Tengu who guard the temple grounds.</p>]]>

A statue in Shelbyville, Indiana commemorates Balser and his many amazing exploits. The plaque notes the statue was commissioned in 1929 and restored in 2017.</p>
+<p><em>The Bears of Blue River</em> was written by Charles Major, a Shelbyville resident, and published in 1901. Major wrote many other books, including <em>When Knighthood Was in Flower</em>, but in Shelbyville he is best remembered for the statue of Balser holding Tom and Jerry aloft after one of their many mischievous adventures. <em>Bears</em> is available to read online as a <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/files/54915/54915-h/54915-h.htm">Project Gutenberg eBook.</a></p>
+<p>Little Balser, a boy of about fourteen years old, lived with his father (also named Balser), his mother, younger brother Jim, and baby sister in a two-room cabin on 80 acres of land. The stories are set in the 1820s, when Indiana had only recently become a state (1816). Pioneer life was tough and demanding, and Balser had to grow up quickly to help his family survive. By a very young age, he could already shoot a gun. Before facing down his first bear, he had killed several deer and even a wildcat. He longed for a gun of his own and hoped to receive one long before his father had gotten his at the age of twenty-one.</p>
+<p>One day, while Balser was fishing and about to head home, a man and woman on horseback asked if it was safe to ford the river. Balser told them, “It will swim your horses.” The couple quickly crossed and, clearly tired and distressed, confided that they were running away to be married. Balser took them to his home so they could rest and hide. After he fetched the preacher and the marriage was performed, the couple asked how they might reward him. Balser hesitated, but finally blurted out: “A gun! A gun! A smooth-bore carbine. I’d rather have it than anything else in the world.” And two weeks later, the couple returned with Balser’s carbine, powder, and lead.</p>
+<p>Mr. Major tells Balser’s adventures so much better than can be shared here—you should read them for yourself.</p>
+<p>Also in the Shelbyville plaza is a fountain dedicated to Julius Joseph, a local businessman who owned a clothing and furniture store. The fountain captures the spirit of youthful play.</p>]]>

It remained in operation until around 1949, when preparations for the creation of Lake Allatoona contributed to its closure.</p>
-<p data-start="621" data-end="835">Remnants of the mill’s raceway, the channel that once directed water to the machinery, are still largely intact and run alongside one of the park’s main trails, offering a clear sense of how the mill once functioned.</p>
-<p data-start="837" data-end="1112">Today, the surviving ruins have become an unexpected canvas for graffiti artists. Colorful murals and tags cover both the remains of the mill and the nearby elevated active railroad line, creating a distinctive contrast between industrial history and contemporary street art.</p>]]>

Located in a prominent spot, it has become a visual and cultural landmark of the neighborhood. Its presence sparks curiosity, fuels local imagination, and attracts visitors. Thus, it serves as an alternative postcard and a symbol of local identity</p>
+<p>Imagine strolling past colorful fishing boats and suddenly spotting a medieval-style castle rising above the neighborhood—it’s the kind of surprise that makes you rub your eyes twice.</p>
+<p>What makes it so wonderful isn’t just the quirky architecture, but the way it contrasts with the relaxed, surf-loving vibe of the community. </p>
+<p>It’s a landmark that sparks curiosity, invites daydreams, and gives the area an unexpected touch of magic.</p>
+<p>Visiting the Barra do Jucu is already a treat, but spotting the castle? That’s the cherry on top of an unforgettable seaside adventure.</p>]]>

One of the city's largest centers for contemporary arts, Goat Farm is a true artists' community offering everything from studio and exposition spaces to a coffee shop to, yes, even a small farm. </p>
-<p>The Goat Farm Arts Center has come along way since the 1800s. Initially a opened as a cotton gin manufacturer in 1889, the Center served as an arms and munitions manufacturer during WWII, before being privately bought in the 1970s. The new owner began renting out parts of the large industrial structure as studios and apartments to local artists, and the Goat Farm's connection to the arts began.</p>
-<p>In the mid 2010s, the Goat Farm was newly purchased with the intention of transforming the space into a real arts hub. With a recent $250 million renovation, the Farm is now home to hundreds of artists and is at the center of the city's culture. The Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia is now also housed on the site. A small farm remains on the premises, with the famous goats that give the Center its name.</p>

+<p>Among the trees stand little houses built from wood, stone and straw — a crooked tower, a square castle, a cozy hut with a thatched roof, and even an egg-shaped home waiting for its red gnome hat.</p>
+<p>It’s a magical place for families and dreamers, where nature and imagination meet under the Cyprus sky.</p>]]>

-<p class="p1">Located in a gorge carved by the flowing waters of the Vorotan River, this bridge is actually a natural rock formation. Over the centuries, limestone from the surrounding rocks has been deposited in this spot by natural forces, eventually forming travertines which together have created a natural pathway for crossing the river.</p>
-<p class="p1">The mineral-rich waters of the river have colored the canyon's rocks in stunning hues of pink, yellow, and green, which, paired with the large stalactites that hang from the surrounding caves, give the entire setting an otherworldly feel. The waters are also naturally heated, and it is possible to bathe in the restorative hot springs at nearby man-made and natural pools. </p>
-<p class="p1">Devil's Bridge is so named because of the stunning intricacy of its formation. Usually reserved for artificial bridges whose construction was so complicated that, it was said, the only possibility for completing it would be a deal with the devil, the unbelievable natural shapes of Satani Kamurj so mystified locals that it was believed only the devil could have made them.</p>
-<p class="p1">The Bridge is 30 meters long and 60 meters wide - enjoying the full extent of the site's wonder requires hiking down into the gorge with the help of ropes. </p>

+<p>Chess-wise, it won the United States Chess Federation Chess Club of the Year Award in 2022 among 300+ other chess clubs across the United States.  It has also hosted the Tennessee State Championship in a dedicated tournament hall twice.</p>
+<p>It hosts several MidSouth chess historical pieces, like Memphis Chess Club member buttons, championship trophies of the very early 1900s, photos of events, Tennessee Chess Hall of Fame plaques, efffectively being a miniature museum of MidSouth Chess History.  They host lessons and tournaments for members and nonmembers in the dedicated tournament hall, and the chess club live-streams tournaments as well.  They have a massive collection of chess books for their chess library.</p>
+<p>In addition to chess, the cafe serves the public as a third space. There are many board games in addition to chess, and several students and remote workers come here to study or work.  There's also an upright piano in tune everyone is welcome top play and there's a few regular players. The cafe also has great locally roasted coffee, great food, wide beer menu, and very classic cocktails.</p>
+<p>The sales to the general public go to keep the chess club having a dedicated brick-and-mortar home. Many of the staff members are also members of the chess club and participate in the tournaments and activities.</p>
+<p>Architecturally the Toof Building remains intact since 1913, with several original floors and columns, original tiling, lofty 16 foot ceiling, etc.. The tables are inlaid with chess boards; every table has a chess board.  It's also right across the stree from the historical gothic Sterrick Building also known as the "Queen of the South". The bathrooms are also really cool.</p>]]>

It is not just an old printing press: it is a cultural beacon that resists the digital age with old machines, ink, lead type, rollers, linoleum, engravings, and the soul of several master printers.</p>
-<p>It was originally a workshop that old printers used for newspapers, street posters, brochures, etc., but over the years (and crisis after crisis), it went through very hard times. This has not dethroned it: on the contrary, many young hands, designers, urban artists, and lovers of the craft have joined in to keep it alive.</p>
-<p>They have presses that could be in a fully functional museum: Reliance press (USA, 1890), Marinoni (France, 1870), movable type, linoleum engraving. Seeing how these iron monsters, these ancient gears, continue to print is like seeing time standing still but breathing.</p>
-<p>There are master printers with decades of experience (Olmedo Franco, Jaime García, Héctor Otálvaro, among others) who teach and share their knowledge with contemporary graphic designers, illustrators, and urban artists. This mix creates something very powerful: tradition + experimentation.</p>
-<p>It's not just about making posters for events; the poster has gone from being an advertisement to an artistic object. They have special collections—tributes to cinema, rock, salsa; posters with personality, rare colors, textures. Each piece has imperfections that make it unique. </p>
-<p>It has survived bans, advertising laws, economic crises, the pressure of digital technology. And that has given it character. It is not simply a nostalgic rescue; it is a necessity to maintain the cultural fabric, the graphic memory of the city.</p>
-<p>La Linterna is worth visiting because it's rare to find a place that combines craftsmanship, living history, cultural resistance, and contemporary art so well. Because it reminds you that not everything good has to come from a digital archive. Because it inspires you: seeing what passionate people can do to keep something beautiful alive. And also because, in times when everything is polished, metallic, and ready for quick consumption, going to La Linterna means slowing down, contemplating, savoring imperfect beauty.</p>
-<p>If you go to Cali and are interested in art, design, culture, or simply something authentic, this is a destination you should not overlook. It is one of those places that makes you love the city even more.</p>]]>

Each one represents a different wish, and visitors can rub their bellies for good luck and the fulfillment of their desires. There is a statue each for good fortune, love, road safety, academics, wealth, peace at home, home security, health, beauty, victory, and friendship.<br /><br />The street is lined with shops and restaurants, but unfortunately nothing selling Tanuki souvenirs! A missed opportunity for sure, but the statues themselves are charming.</p>]]>

Its name comes from its long use as the community’s burial ground.</p>
-<p data-start="513" data-end="729">For centuries, the walls were lined with tombstones, coats of arms, and inscriptions, turning the space into a lapidary cemetery that preserves the memory of Dominican friars as well as prominent Florentine families. Architecturally, the cloister reflects simple Gothic lines, arched walkways, vaulted corridors, serving as both a place of meditation and a resting place for the dead.</p>
-<p data-start="898" data-end="1066">It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time wandering the shadowed corridors, reading epitaphs and tracing the names and dates of its long-gone inhabitants.</p>
-<p data-start="1068" data-end="1201">Today, it forms part of the Santa Maria Novella museum complex, a quiet witness to the religious and civic life of medieval Florence.</p>]]>
+        <![CDATA[<p><img alt="Orange World&#39;s bright dome is a local landmark." data-width="1024" data-height="1106" width="300" height="200" src="https://img.atlasobscura.com/nADyttvZwWczueiwEKkfIuifemFwg94OzZFw1Vw1_EU/rs:fill:300:200:1/g:ce/q:81/sm:1/scp:1/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdGxh/cy1kZXYuczMuYW1h/em9uYXdzLmNvbS91/cGxvYWRzL3BsYWNl/X2ltYWdlcy81OWJh/MDk3Yy1iZmRlLTQ2/MzQtYWQ1My0wMzUy/YTRmY2M3ZjdjMmM1/ODM0MjU2MzBiNjY0/YjNfMTAyNHB4LU9y/YW5nZV9Xb3JsZC5q/cGc.jpg" /></p> <p>You can see its giant rounded top, like a bright, ripe Florida orange emerging from a lot along U.S. Route 192, where drivers may wonder what it holds.</p>
+<p>Stop by and you'll see how Eli's Orange World, a family-owned, roadside gift shop has developed a reputation for selling fresh, juicy oranges, and even orange trees, along with Florida-themed gifts and goods.</p>
+<p>The quirky fiberglass structure dates back to the 1970s, when Eli Sfassie decided to capitalize on the opening of nearby Walt Disney World by selling souvenirs from the service bay of his gas station. A decade or so later, he converted the building to resemble a giant orange—it's about 60 feet tall—and referred to it as the world's largest orange. </p>
+<p>The big orange dome was immortalized on film in 2007's "The Florida Project," a critically acclaimed film from director Sean Baker. Eli's Orange World appears near the fictional motel where the movie is set, giving a cartoon-like vibe that accentuates the film's colorful yet emotionally wrenching world.</p>
+<p>Eli's Orange World is just a couple minutes west of Jungle Falls Gift Shop, a building from which a giant wizard head and giant hands  emerge. This proximity may be handy for souvenir hunters, but was unfortunate when it came to Hurricane Charley in 2004. According to local lore, winds blew the giant crystal ball out of the wizard's possession and into the roof of Orange World, leaving a big dent. In 2023, the shop suffered fire and smoke damage, but has since re-opened, serving customers who are looking to bring a little of that Florida orange-tinged magic back home with them.</p>]]>

Built in 1876, the complex includes the original corn mill, a noodle factory, and workshops for both wood and metal.</p>
-<p data-start="467" data-end="815">At the start of the 20th century, this region was booming with wheat and flour production. The mills were powered by water brought from the mountains through a vast canal system known as the canal del alto. But with the arrival of the train, and cheaper wheat production in the wet Pampas, local mills couldn’t compete, and many slowly shut down.</p>
-<p data-start="817" data-end="1058">Today, Molino García isn’t in regular operation, but everything still functions, and the mill can be set in motion to demonstrate how it once worked. Visitors can see the original machinery and watch the full flour-making process come alive.</p>]]>
+        <![CDATA[<p><img alt="A horse at the cow camp corral." data-width="1300" data-height="960" width="300" height="200" src="https://img.atlasobscura.com/3DuGMJSN-82O5H0N_jHnvxtUi0djFtwZBDN8pPrWqM8/rs:fill:300:200:1/g:ce/q:81/sm:1/scp:1/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9hdGxh/cy1kZXYuczMuYW1h/em9uYXdzLmNvbS91/cGxvYWRzL3BsYWNl/X2ltYWdlcy8yOGVj/YWNkNTAyYzg5MTlm/YTBfQU5XRVQ3Lmpw/Zw.jpg" /></p> <p>If you think of states like Texas when it comes to the earliest days of cattle in America, you'll actually want to reorient your map towards Florida. That's because in the early 1500s, it was Florida where the first Spanish conquistadors arrived, bringing along a small herd of Andalusian cows and horses.</p>
+<p>In the approximately 500 years since, the animals they left behind have adapted to Florida's environment, making them Florida specific breeds, commonly known as Florida cracker cows and cracker ponies. When Florida became part of the U.S. in 1821, the country's cattle industry was born.</p>
+<p>To experience a bit of what things were like in those days, take a trip to Lake Kissimmee State Park with its 1867 Cow Camp history demonstrations. You'll find a frontier camp with a cow handler in period garb. You may have the chance to sit by the campfire, have a cup of rustic coffee and learn about cattle operations of the era. Those include the long cattle drives to the west coast of Florida where at some points in history the cows were loaded onto ships bound for Cuba to be sold.  </p>
+<p>The state park itself has much to explore, including 13 miles of hiking trails, 6 miles of equestrian trails, along with boating, canoeing and fishing on its three lakes. Wildlife you may spot include bald eagles, sandhill cranes, turkeys, white-tailed deer and bobcats.</p>]]>

Scientists generally agree that this lubricating, liquidlike layer is what makes ice slippery. They disagree, though, about why the layer forms. Three main theories about the phenomenon have been debated over the past two centuries.</p>

+			<description>A new theory proposes that the universe’s fundamental forces and particle properties may arise from the geometry of hidden extra dimensions. These dimensions could twist and evolve over time, forming stable structures that generate mass and symmetry breaking on their own. The approach may even explain cosmic expansion and predict a new particle. It hints at a universe built entirely from geometry.</description>

-			<title>New fossils in Qatar reveal a tiny sea cow hidden for 21 million years</title>
-			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251212022244.htm</link>
-			<description>Fossils from Qatar have revealed a small, newly identified sea cow species that lived in the Arabian Gulf more than 20 million years ago. The site contains the densest known collection of fossil sea cow bones, showing that these animals once thrived in rich seagrass meadows. Their ecological role mirrors that of modern dugongs, which still reshape the Gulf’s seafloor as they graze. The findings may help researchers understand how seagrass ecosystems respond to long-term environmental change.</description>

+			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251218060550.htm</link>
+			<description>Much of the western U.S. is overdue for wildfire, with decades of suppression allowing fuel to build up across millions of hectares. Researchers estimate that 74% of the region is in a fire deficit, meaning far more land needs to burn to restore healthy forest conditions. Catching up would require an unprecedented amount of controlled and managed fire.</description>

-			<title>New research reveals how everyday cues secretly shape your habits</title>
-			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251210223635.htm</link>
-			<description>Researchers uncovered how shifting levels of a brain protein called KCC2 can reshape the way cues become linked with rewards, sometimes making habits form more quickly or more powerfully than expected. When this protein drops, dopamine neurons fire more intensely, strengthening new associations in ways that resemble how addictive behaviors take hold. Rat studies showed that even brief, synchronized bursts of neural activity can amplify reward learning, offering insight into why everyday triggers, like a morning routine, can provoke strong cravings.</description>

-			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251210092029.htm</link>
-			<description>Scientists tracking young Arizona Bald Eagles found that many migrate north during summer and fall, bucking the traditional southbound pattern of most birds. Their routes rely heavily on historic stopover lakes and rivers, and often extend deep into Canada. As the eagles mature, their flights become more precise, but they also encounter significant dangers like electrocution and poisoning. These discoveries point to the need for targeted conservation of critical travel corridors.</description>

-			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251210092022.htm</link>
-			<description>Scientists discovered that certain cancer cells use a low-level activation of a DNA-dismantling enzyme—normally seen in cell death—to survive treatment. Instead of dying, these “persister cells” leverage this sublethal signal to regrow. Because the mechanism is non-genetic, it appears much earlier than typical resistance mutations. Targeting this enzyme could help stop tumors from returning.</description>

+			<title>Scientists reveal why some brains stop growing too soon</title>
+			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251216081939.htm</link>
+			<description>Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small brains. Changes in actin disrupted the orientation of early brain cell divisions, causing crucial progenitor cells to disappear too soon. This reduced the brain’s ability to grow normally. The work offers a clear cellular explanation for microcephaly linked to Baraitser-Winter syndrome.</description>

-			<description>Scientists have uncovered that some atoms in liquids don&#039;t move at all—even at extreme temperatures—and these anchored atoms dramatically alter the way materials freeze. Using advanced electron microscopy, researchers watched molten metal droplets solidify and found that stationary atoms can trap liquids in tiny “atomic corrals,” keeping them fluid far below their normal freezing point and giving rise to a strange hybrid state of matter.</description>

+			<description>Consciousness evolved in stages, starting with basic survival responses like pain and alarm, then expanding into focused awareness and self-reflection. These layers help organisms avoid danger, learn from the environment, and coordinate socially. Surprisingly, birds show many of these same traits, from subjective perception to basic self-awareness. This suggests consciousness is far older and more widespread than once believed.</description>

+			<description>Around 1,000 years ago, a major climate shift reshaped rainfall across the South Pacific, making western islands like Samoa and Tonga drier while eastern islands such as Tahiti became increasingly wet. New evidence from plant waxes preserved in island sediments shows this change coincided with the final major wave of Polynesian expansion eastward. As freshwater became scarcer in the west and more abundant in the east, people may have been pushed to migrate, effectively “chasing the rain” across vast stretches of ocean.</description>

-			<description>New research is challenging one of medicine’s oldest assumptions: that cancer must be attacked to be cured. By treating glioblastoma patients with a simple combination of resveratrol and copper, the researchers found dramatic reductions in tumor aggressiveness, cancer biomarkers, immune checkpoints, and stem-cell–related markers—all without side effects. Their approach focuses on “healing” tumors by eliminating harmful cell-free chromatin particles released from dying cancer cells, which normally inflame and worsen the disease. The findings hint at a future where inexpensive nutraceuticals could transform cancer therapy.</description>

+			<description>Natural killer cells act as the immune system’s rapid-response team, but the stress of anxiety and insomnia may be quietly thinning their ranks. A study of young women in Saudi Arabia found that both conditions were linked to significantly fewer NK cells—especially the circulating types responsible for destroying infected or abnormal cells. As anxiety severity increased, NK cell levels dropped even further, suggesting a stress-driven weakening of immune defenses.</description>

Only weakened-AMOC models match observed temperature and salinity patterns, overturning recent model trends. This slowdown affects weather systems, jet streams, and marine life throughout the Northern Hemisphere. The discovery sharpens climate forecasts and highlights a major shift already underway.</description>

+			<title>Scientists find hidden rainfall pattern that could reshape farming</title>
+			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251211100633.htm</link>
+			<description>New research shows that crops are far more vulnerable when too much rainfall originates from land rather than the ocean. Land-sourced moisture leads to weaker, less reliable rainfall, heightening drought risk. The U.S. Midwest and East Africa are particularly exposed due to soil drying and deforestation. Protecting forests and improving land management could help stabilize rainfall and crop yields.</description>

-			<title>Scientists say this viral rosemary skincare trend actually works</title>
-			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251207031329.htm</link>
-			<description>Researchers have found scientific support for the viral claim that rosemary can improve wound healing. Carnosic acid, a natural antioxidant in rosemary, promoted scar-free healing in mice by activating a nerve sensor tied to regenerative repair. Rosemary proved more potent and gentler than other herbs or compounds that target the same pathway. The work hints at a low-cost future option for reducing scarring in humans.</description>

-			<description>Knotted structures once imagined by Lord Kelvin may actually have shaped the universe’s earliest moments, according to new research showing how two powerful symmetries could have created stable “cosmic knots” after the Big Bang. These exotic objects may have briefly dominated the young cosmos, unraveled through quantum tunneling, and produced heavy right-handed neutrinos whose decays tipped the balance toward matter over antimatter.</description>

-			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251206030752.htm</link>
-			<description>Scientists uncovered a surprising four-layer structure hidden inside the hippocampal CA1 region, one of the brain’s major centers for memory, navigation, and emotion. Using advanced RNA imaging techniques, the team mapped more than 330,000 genetic signals from tens of thousands of neurons, revealing crisp, shifting bands of cell types that run along the length of the hippocampus. This layered organization may help explain why different parts of CA1 support different behaviors and why certain neurons break down more easily in disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and epilepsy.</description>

+			<link>https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2025/12/251210223635.htm</link>
+			<description>Researchers uncovered how shifting levels of a brain protein called KCC2 can reshape the way cues become linked with rewards, sometimes making habits form more quickly or more powerfully than expected. When this protein drops, dopamine neurons fire more intensely, strengthening new associations in ways that resemble how addictive behaviors take hold. Rat studies showed that even brief, synchronized bursts of neural activity can amplify reward learning, offering insight into why everyday triggers, like a morning routine, can provoke strong cravings.</description>

Solving it might require a fundamental change in how we understand the universe - but scientists have to prove it actually exists first. A new paper from a collective of cosmologist researchers known as the TDCOSMO Collaboration adds further fuel to that first with updated measurements of the “Late Universe” measurement of the Hubble Constant using gravitational lenses of quasars, which shows that the Tension might exist after all.</p>]]></description>

This is what a recent study published in The Planetary Science Journal hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated potential Earth analogs for studying a unique geological feature on Europa scientists identified almost 30 years ago. This study has the potential help scientists gain insights into Europa’s unique geological features, some of which scientists hypothesize are caused by the moon’s internal liquid water ocean.</p>]]></description>

Or so Spider Man’s Uncle Ben might have said if he was an astronomer. Or a scientist more generally - but in astronomy that saying is more true than many other disciplines, as many discoveries are entirely dependent on the technology - the telescope, imager, or processing algorithm, used to collect data on them. A new piece of technology, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, is exciting scientists enough that they are even starting to predict what kind of discoveries it might make. One such type of discovery, described in a pre-print paper on arXiv by Vito Saggese of the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics and his co-authors on the Roman Galactic Exoplanet Survey Project Infrastructure Team, is the discovery of many more multiplantery exoplanet systems an astronomical phenomena Roman is well placed to detect - microlensing.</p>]]></description>

Various agencies and organizations have been developing novel solutions to this problem, before it turns into full-blown Kessler Syndrome. But many of them are reliant on understanding what is going on with the debris before attempting to deal with it. Gaining that understanding is hard, and failure to do so can cause satellites attempting to remove the debris to contribute to the problem rather than alleviating it. To help solve that conundrum, a new paper from researchers at GMV, a major player in the orbital tracking market in Europe, showcases a new algorithm that can use ground-based telescopes to try figure out how the debris is moving before a deorbiter gets anywhere near it.</p>]]></description>

It has nothing to do with delinquent people, but instead is used to describe data that could be interpreted multiple ways. In some cases, that interpretation is translated into exciting new possibilities. But many times, when that happens, other, more mundane explanations are ignored for the publicity that the more interesting possibilities provide. That seems to have been the case for many “sub-Neptune” exoplanets discovered recently. Some theories have described them as Hycean worlds - worlds that are filled with water oceans or ice. But a new paper from Robb Calder of the University of Cambridge and his co-authors shows that, most likely, these planets are almost all made of molten lava instead.</p>]]></description>

Research from the University of Southampton reveals that just before these magnetospheric substorms erupt, a distinct pattern of low frequency radio waves appears above the aurora, radio emissions that surge in strength precisely as mysterious "auroral beads" transform into full storms. This radio signature, detected by spacecraft and ground observatories across multiple events, provides the first direct evidence of the physical processes triggering these dramatic celestial displays, and may explain similar phenomena occurring in the magnetospheres of Jupiter and Saturn.</p>]]></description>

By varying Mars's mass from zero to ten times its current value in computer models, researchers discovered that a more massive Mars strengthens the ~100,000 year climate cycles and creates the 2.4 million year "grand cycle" that influences Earth's long term climate. This finding demonstrates that Earth's climate rhythms are connected to the gravitational structure of the inner Solar System, not just the Sun and Moon.</p>]]></description>

Using revolutionary AI-powered analysis methods, astronomers discovered that merging galaxies contain up to six times more active black holes than isolated galaxies, with the most luminous black holes found almost exclusively in collision zones.</p>]]></description>

Despite 170 hours of observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array achieving unprecedented sensitivity, they detected absolutely nothing where the black hole should be. If an intermediate mass black hole exists in this massive star cluster, as suggested by fast moving stars discovered earlier this year, it must be accreting material at an extraordinarily low rate, barely feeding at all compared to other known black holes.</p>]]></description>
