Does Presenting Credibility Labels of Journalistic Sources Affect News Consumption? New Study Finds Limited Effects

Tagged in Education and Social Sciences Research Arts and Science Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences

Labeling the credibility of information sources does not shift the consumption of news away from low-quality sources or reduce belief in inaccurate claims, but providing an indicator of sources’ quality may improve the news diet quality for some.

Scientists Uncover How the Shape of Melting Ice Depends on Water Temperature

Tagged in Engineering, Science and Technology Research Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences Arts and Science

A team of mathematicians and physicists has discovered how ice formations are shaped by external forces, such as water temperature.

Schematic of the plant root, showing the different cell subtypes of phloem cells, which transport sucrose around the plant and ultimately give rise to the starch in foods. Phloem tissue is born from stem cells toward the bottom of the conical root tip and are then pushed upward as they mature along an assembly line. Researchers dissected the 19-cell developmental trajectory of phloem cells from their birth to maturation in a journey of 19 cell positions. The graph on the right shows a computational analysis of single-cell states along the trajectory, where "pinch points" mark dramatic developmental transitions. The research involved finding the genetic mechanisms that control the developmental transitions and the regulatory "code" to the construction of phloem.
Blueprint Reveals How Plants Build a Sugar Transport Lane
