Researchers monitored the diameter of semiconductor quantum dots in real time by observing the wavelength of the emitted light. Luminescence is the outcome of a process where an object absorbs light at one wavelength and re-emits it at a different wavelength. During this process, electrons in the material’s ground state absorb light and become excited to a higher energy state. After a specific period, unique to each excited state, the electrons return to lower energy states, including the ground state, and emit light. This phenomenon is utilized in a wide range of technological applications, involving highly efficient and reproducible emitting devices that can be easily miniaturized.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."

Harvard research highlights link between midlife dietary habits and successful aging. A study tracking over 100,000 people for 30 years found that maintaining a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats from midlife can significantly enhance the likelihood of aging healthily. The research highlighted that healthy diets not only prevent diseases but also support independence and quality of life in older age. Key findings suggest that specific diets like the alternative healthy eating index and the planetary health diet are particularly effective in promoting healthy aging.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

This year’s area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico is larger than average, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced on Thursday. The “dead zone” is approximately 6,705 square miles , as measured last week. Within NOAA’s 38 years of measuring the dead zone, this year’s assessment marks the 12th-largest area of low to no oxygen, which can kill fish and marine life.
