For the first time, Stanford researchers have found a way to create and stabilize an extremely rare form of gold that has lost two negatively charged electrons, denoted Au2+. The material stabilizing this elusive version of the valued element is a halide perovskite—a class of crystalline materials that holds great promise for various applications including more-efficient solar cells, light sources, and electronics components. Surprisingly, the Au2+ perovskite is also quick and simple to make using off-the-shelf ingredients at room temperature. "It was a real surprise that we were able to synthesize a stable material containing Au2+—I didn't even believe it at first," said Hemamala Karunadasa, associate professor of chemistry at the Stanford School of Humanities and Sciences and senior author of the study published Aug. 28 in Nature Chemistry. "Creating this first-of-its-kind Au2+ perovskite is exciting. The gold atoms in the perovskite bear strong similarities to the copper atoms in high-temperature superconductors, and heavy atoms with unpaired electrons, like Au2+, show cool magnetic effects not seen in lighter atoms."

“𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐄 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐓” (Matt Sturniolo)
IN WHICH: Y/N has played volleyball all her life, she was known as an original at this point, due to the fact that she's played for the school since middle school. She was now a senior in high school, which meant college was next year. What happens when at Y/N's last game, there's a college scout looking for new  talent, in the crowd...
(ion play volleyball don't humble me cs ion know shit❤️. this is gonna be really unrealistic to so :p)
Y/N was at practice, putting away the nets with her friend Kylie. Her boyfriend Matt and his brothers had been waiting for her on the bleachers, telling her to take her time.
"Okay, i'm done." She walks toward Matt and his brothers. Y/N waves to Kylie as the other girl picks up her bag and leaves.
Nick nods "Good, Good, so are we gonna head to our hou-" Nick was cut off by Y/N's coach yelling her name. She turns around.
"Yeah, Coach?" "At tomorrow's game there's going to be a college scout from Stanford, coming to watch you play. You better bust your ass tomorrow if you want to impress him." Y/N nods, blinking while being taken back by coaches words. Coach walks away as Matt runs to his girlfriend.
He picks her up off her feet, pulling her into a tight embrace. "I'm so proud of you!" Y/N nods, hugging him back. Matt puts her down so his brothers. oils congratulate her.
"Im so happy for you! Now can you hurry the fuck up i need pepsi." Chris says. She nods, picking up her volleyball and walking away with her best friends.
Matt pushes Y/N on the bed, hovering over her, while kissing her. Y/N sighs into the kiss, not kissing back. Matt pulls away.
"You good?" Y/N shakes her head. Matt sits up, reaching a hand out for her to grab to help her sit up.
"What's wrong?" Asks Matt, concern in his voice. She sighs.
"What if I don't impress this scout tomorrow?" Matt shakes his head in disbelief.
"Are you kidding me? You're so good at volleyball, why would you think that?"
"I-I don't know. There's just so many other girls who're better than me on the team. And we're facing the number 1 team in Boston!" Matt shakes his head.
"You're going to do great! You're gonna have me, Chris, and Nick cheering you on." Y/N nods.
"O-okay. You’re right."
"Exactly. Do you wanna watch a movie?" Y/N shakes her head.
"I've gotta get home and get ready for the game tomorrow." Matt nods, understanding.
"Oh okay! Let me drive you home." Matt stands up, slipping on his sneakers. Y/N nods, also slipping on her shoes and walking out the door.
————————————————————
It was now THE game and Y/N was dreading it. She was terrified to say the least.
The other team looked terrifying to her, but she felt herself calm down at bit at her boyfriends cheers.
Matt had made sure to get seats up front with his brothers, he wanted his girl to hear his cheers, and so he could see the game better.
If it weren't for Nick, Matt would've worn a shirt with Y/N face on it, and acted like a complete fangirl. Nobody wanted him to embarrass her like that. Well Chris did.
—————————————————————
The whistle blew, signaling that the game started. Y/N was the first server.
"Let's go Y/N!" Yells Matt. She flashes him a smile, throwing it up in the air, and jump serving it over the net. The other team fails to hit it, as it falls to the ground. Matt stands up screaming.
"YEAH Y/N! ATTA GIRL!" Nick claws him down, explaining to him how he was embarrassing her. Y/N and her team cheer, yelling ‘ACE’.
She notices an opponent on the other team giving her a nasty look, but she ignores it, figuring they were just mad, and focusing on the game.
Y/N serves again, hitting it over the net. The other team hits it back, so she calls it and runs for it. She dives to the ground, almost hitting it, but she misses.
Y/N groans, standing up. Matt stands up, screaming. "Hey! It's okay you've got it babe!"
Chris stands up also, grabbing Matt by his shoulders and pushing him down, sitting next to him and rubbing his shoulders.
Y/N sighs, laughing at her boyfriend. The same opponent laughs again, mocking Y/N with her friend.
"God girls who can't play are so embarrassing." The girls say loudly, clearly wanting Y/N to hear.
Y/N always speaks up for herself, she's not scared of anyone. She shakes her head, walking towards the net.
"Do you guys have something to say?" The girls stay quiet.
"Cause if you do you can come address it to me." Matt shakes his head, wondering what his girlfriend was doing. He couldn't hear well due to the cheers.
"God, actual trash." Laugh the girls. Y/N shakes her head, breathing out a laugh.
She walks around the net, toward the girls. Also ignoring coach and the refs begs to stop.
"Look, watch the way you girls talk to me. I don't know how the girls are at your school, but here we speak up for ourselves"
The girls laugh, changing positions, one of the girls shoulders, purposely bumping into Y/N's. She sighs, knowing what this was going to lead to.
Y/N tackles one of the girls to the ground, hitting her repeatedly. The triplets stand up from the bleachers.
"Holy shit." Laughs Chris.
"What the fuck?" Matt mumbles to himself, watching his girlfriends every move to make sure she wasn’t getting hurt.
Sure enough, she wasn’t. The girl was all talk and really couldn’t fight.
Y/N continues to punch the girl, not caring about the crowd booing her.
The ref runs over, managing to pull her off.
"L/N, you’re on the bench!" Yells coach, in front of everyone.
Y/N groans, tears of anger forming.
She runs out into the hallway, abandoning the game.
Matt walks off the bleachers, running after his girlfriend.
—————————————————————
Y/N sits on the ground in the hallway, putting her face in her hands. Matt runs in.
"Hey-Hey let me see." He attempts to take her hands off her face but she won't take them off.
"Baby, let me see" Y/N takes her hands off her face, showing him her hands.
"Just a couple bruises, you’ll be fine What happened N/N?" Y/N shakes her head, not wanting to speak.
"I-I just.." Y/N bursts into tears. Matt ticks, pulling her into his chest and rubbing her back.
"Talk to me love."
"I-I dunno i'm just so stressed with this college scout, my grades, youtube, I-I just don't know what to do anymore!" Y/N cries harder into his chest. Matt could feel himself tear up, he never knew she was feeling this way.
"Oh, baby, i'm so sorry." He pulls her away from his chest wiping her tears.
"Look i don't know what went on out there, but you can't let one stupid fight ruin this for you. I mean you have a fucking college scout waiting for you out there!" Y/N slightly giggles.
"They’re a bunch of nobodies! You’re letting those two girls get to you instead of blocking them out like they don’t exist. So wipe your tears, and get out there. you can't let two girls from whatever school come into your school and make your cry like this.” Matt was technically right. He stands up, holding a hand out for Y/N.
“Do i look like shit?” Matt laughs.
“You’re beautiful, my love, always and forever.” He pecks her lips, leading her back into the gym.

The murder of Laken Riley took center stage during Thursday night's State of The Union. Riley was a 22-year-old student who was killed last month at the University of Georgia. The suspect in her murder is a Venezuelan migrant whom officials say was illegally in the U.S.
During the Republican rebuttal, Riley's murder was brought up by Alabama Sen. Katie Britt. "She was brutally murdered by one of the millions of illegal border crossers President Biden chose to release into our homeland. Y'all ... as a mom, I can't quit thinking about this. I mean, this could have been my daughter. This could have been yours."
The claim that immigration brings on a crime wave can be traced back to the first immigrants who arrived in the U.S. Ever since the 1980s and '90s, this false narrative saw a resurgence.
During the current presidential campaign, the vitriol has been intense. Just in the last few months, former president Donald Trump has spoken of immigrants as criminals and mentally ill people who are "poisoning the blood of our country". Florida Gov. (and former presidential candidate) Ron DeSantis suggested migrants crossing the border be shot.
However, research indicates that immigrants commit less crimes than U.S.-born people.
Much of the available data focuses on incarceration rates because that's where immigration status is recorded.
Some of the most extensive research comes from Stanford University. Economist Ran Abramitzky found that since the 1960s, immigrants are 60% less likely to be incarcerated than U.S.-born people.
There is also state level research, that shows similar results: researchers at the CATO Institute, a Libertarian think tank, looked into Texas in 2019. They found that undocumented immigrants were 37.1% less likely to be convicted of a crime.
Beyond incarceration rates, research also shows that there is no correlation between undocumented people and a rise in crime. Recent investigations by The New York Times and The Marshall Project found that between 2007 and 2016, there was no link between undocumented immigrants and a rise in violent or property crime in those communities.
The reason for this gap in criminal behavior might have to do with stability and achievement. The Stanford study concludes that first-generation male immigrants traditionally do better than U.S-.born men who didn't finish high school, which is the group most likely to be incarcerated in the U.S.
The study also suggests that there's a real fear of getting in trouble and being deported within immigrant communities. Far from engaging in criminal activities, immigrants mostly don't want to rock the boat.
But the idea that immigrants bring crime remains widespread.
A few months ago, NPR reported on a migrant shelter functioning in Staten Island, N.Y. Anthony Pagano, the owner of a flower shop located close to the shelter, told NPR he was against it being located in his community.
"How do you put migrants across from an elementary school? An all-girl high school, and another public elementary school," he asked. "You don't know who they are. Criminals. You see all the crimes that are being committed by migrants."
New York City Police data shows there was no rise in murder, rapes or robberies in the area.

New high-speed microscale 3D printing technique
3D-printed microscopic particles, so small that to the naked eye they look like dust, have applications in drug and vaccine delivery, microelectronics, microfluidics, and abrasives for intricate manufacturing. However, the need for precise coordination between light delivery, stage movement, and resin properties makes scalable fabrication of such custom microscale particles challenging. Now, researchers at Stanford University have introduced a more efficient processing technique that can print up to 1 million highly detailed and customizable microscale particles a day. "We can now create much more complex shapes down to the microscopic scale, at speeds that have not been shown for particle fabrication previously, and out of a wide range of materials," said Jason Kronenfeld, Ph.D. candidate in the DeSimone lab at Stanford and lead author of the paper that details this process, published today in Nature.

The 233 masks that originally hung on the exterior of Ruth Asawa’s family home in San Francisco’s Noe Valley are publicly displayed in their entirety for the first time in the ongoing exhibition The Faces of Ruth Asawa at Stanford University’s Cantor Arts Center.
Installed on the reverse side of the wall upon which the Stanford Family Collection death masks are exhibited as part of Mark Dion’s The Melancholy Museum, Asawa’s life masks disentangle the impulse to collect from a culture of mourning — they do not keep count of past or future losses. 
Asawa did not want to cast faces of the dead but instead “people who go on after this.” She froze the moment, not in anticipation of grief — like photography’s enfolding of “that is” into the tragedy of “that has been” — but to linger with the intensity of the present, the miracle of having come thus far, and the promises of becoming.
