A diagram of green lines making a path among blue and red lines
Sunghoon Kim As the experimentalists changed the electric field, it is likely that different parts of the material underwent the metal-to-insulator transition at different values of the electric field because of a small number of inherent imperfections. Consequently, the flowing electrons must find a path through these “islands” of insulating regions, embedded in a “sea” of metal.

Close up of tree rings
Cornell Tree-Ring Laboratory The growth rings inside a juniper tree, combined with isotope records, helped researchers pinpoint a likely culprit for the collapse of the Hittite Empire: three straight years of severe drought, approximately 1198–96 BC, in an already dry period.
