When the Covid-19 pandemic hit, decision-makers around the world turned to predictive models and scenarios to navigate the unknown. But how did these projections shape—and sometimes mislead—strategies and public debate? In a newly published article in the journal Social Studies of Science, sociologist Tobias Olofsson explores how early pandemic predictions influenced policy and public discourse. T

Reconfigurable transistors are key elements in the development of future semiconductors. As conventional transistors approach the limit of how small they can become, more functions in the same number of units will become increasingly important in developing small and energy-efficient circuits for better memories and more powerful computers. In two articles published in Science Advances and Nature
