How does fake tan work, and why does it sometimes smell 'cookie-like'?
Real tans come from UV-triggered pigment production in living skin; that same UV exposure increases the risk of skin cancer. Bronzers are simply colored coatings that sit atop the skin and can be washed away. How, then, to create a fake tan that stays put, without exposing people to UV light and skin cancer risk? The trick is not to get brown pigment into the skin directly. Brown pigments are usually large molecules, which do not penetrate the skin barrier easily.

Cinderella in Her Odyssey Years
After graduating as the most senior student in the history of her school, Elaine moved to Reno for more school. Ever since she migrated from China to North America, she had moved around a lot, but she had always clung to the West Coast. The phrase “fresh off the boat” explained it all. Even though boats were no longer the primary means of crossing oceans, immigrants still tended to concentrate along the coasts. Reno was the farthest inland Elaine had ever dived in.
How Cohere Health digitizes clinical policies using Amazon Bedrock AgentCore
Prior authorization is the approval process health plans require before covering certain medical services or medications. It remains one of the most manual processes in healthcare, not because the medical reasoning for requiring approval is flawed, but because the policies that govern it are trapped in static, unstructured formats that resist automation. This content is at the core of day-to-day clinical operations impacting hundreds of millions of patients each year.

Attosecond response of molecules to impulsive ionization
|
Abstract When matter interacts with energetic radiation it can undergo sudden, or impulsive, ionization. This process can drive chemical change and occurs widely in space and planetary atmospheres, yet its comprehensive description challenges our current theoretical and computational capabilities as it requires advanced treatment of electron correlation and nonadiabatic dynamics beyond the Born–Oppenheimer approximation.

Dietary Quercetin as a Modulator of Gut Microbiota and Lipid Metabolism: A Systematic Review of Its Anti-Obesity Effects
ABSTRACT Over the past few years, the proportion of individuals affected by obesity and related metabolic disorders has increased substantially worldwide, largely due to unhealthy eating habits and reduced physical activity. The management and prevention of obesity remain key focal points in scientific research.
4 reasons why Taiwan’s survival is key to global flourishing
OPINION: The world today is increasingly volatile, as fires rage across hotspots involving the United States, Iran, Israel, Lebanon, Russia, Ukraine and elsewhere. Meanwhile, a war without smoke has been waged for decades in Taiwan, beneath a veneer of tranquility. In light of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) intense maneuverings to infiltrate, threaten and annex Taiwan, it is necessary to explain why the island nation is even more important than the aforementioned.
Epidemiological profile of respiratory viruses associated with influenza-like illness and severe acute respiratory infection in Guangzhou, China, 2024–2025
Abstract Background: The post-pandemic era has brought about marked shifts in the circulation patterns of respiratory pathogens. Nevertheless, comprehensive epidemiological data on acute respiratory infections (ARIs) covering both influenza-like illness (ILI) and severe acute respiratory infection (SARI) remain scarce for southern China. This study aimed to characterize the epidemiological profiles and pathogen spectra of ARIs in Guangzhou, China, from January 2024 to December 2025.
Fremont charity awarded national grant
A major investment in Fremont’s special needs community is underway as FCSN (Friends of Children with Special Needs) announces it has been awarded the National Neighborhood Promise® grant from the Republic Services Charitable Foundation.

Mineral vs chemical sunscreens? Science shows the difference is smaller than you think
"Mineral-only" sunscreens are making huge inroads into the sunscreen market, driven by fears of "chemicals," a belief that "mineral" products are inherently safer, and confusion about how sunscreens actually protect our skin. How mineral sunscreens actually work is not widely understood, and neither is what's actually in them. We tested ten of these sunscreens in the lab and reviewed the ingredient lists of over 100 more to clarify what's going on.

How Can an Introvert Become a Believer?
You might wonder about the title: how could “introvert” be an obstacle to becoming a “believer?” Yet that’s exactly how I felt when I first stepped into a church in North America. I was born in China and immigrated to Canada in 2007. While living in British Columbia, my children attended an after-school program run by a Pentecostal church. They often came home with pamphlets titled Do You Want to Know Jesus Christ?

Cut the Pretentious Crap: Art’s Not Always Pretty (And Neither Am I)
Recently I found myself gazing at an installation that looked like a hoarder’s house has just exploded (yet it nearly wasn’t as exciting as that): branches, wrappers, wires, and little baggies of dust from different cities nailed to the wall was some of the components of this art piece. I amused myself with the thought of swiping some Amsterdam dust or candy wrappers— after all, could that really count as art theft? Yet it was.

Harvey Weinstein, the former Hollywood film producer, will face a retrial for rape and sexual assault charges in New York in November after the original ruling was overturned in April. The Miramax film studio co-founder was sentenced to 23 years imprisonment in 2020 and, in a separate trial was also sentenced to 16 years for rape in California.
Attosecond delays in X-ray molecular ionization - Nature
Abstract The photoelectric effect is not truly instantaneous but exhibits attosecond delays that can reveal complex molecular dynamics1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Sub-femtosecond-duration light pulses provide the requisite tools to resolve the dynamics of photoionization8,9,10,11,12. Accordingly, the past decade has produced a large volume of work on photoionization delays following single-photon absorption of an extreme ultraviolet photon.
