Ouch! Commonalties Found in Pain Vocalizations and Interjections Across Cultures
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

In the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, an interdisciplinary team explored possible regularities in vocal emotional expressions by comparing expressive interjections, such as “wow,” to nonlinguistic vocalizations, such as screams and cries, from across the globe. The researchers analyzed vowels in interjections from 131 languages, comparing them with nearly 500 vowels from vocalizations produced in joyful, painful, or disgusting contexts. Each of the three emotions yielded consistent and distinct vowel signatures across cultures in vocalizations.

Raise the Roof: How to Reduce Badminton Birdie Drift
American Institute of Physics (AIP)

The airflow from an indoor badminton court’s HVAC system and cross ventilation can affect the path of a birdie and have a significant role in play, but research published in Physics of Fluids proposes that different roof configurations could help mitigate wind drift. The authors recommend that important badminton games be played on courts with a barrel roof and a ventilation opening. The team modeled the airflow in a barrel roof stadium with different ventilation opening directions and tested this against a simulation of a flat roof to understand the roof effects.

Sweet Switch: Sorbitol's Key Role in Apple Plant Growth Strategy
Chinese Academy of Sciences

A recent study reveals the critical role of sorbitol in driving age-dependent growth shifts in apple plants. Researchers have uncovered how sorbitol interacts with gibberellin signaling to transition growth from a rapid juvenile phase to a slower adult pattern. This discovery provides essential insights into the mechanisms controlling plant maturation and development.

Astronomers’ Theory of How Galaxies Formed May Be Upended
Case Western Reserve University

The standard model for how galaxies formed in the early universe predicted that the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) would see dim signals from small, primitive galaxies. But data are not confirming the popular hypothesis that invisible dark matter helped the earliest stars and galaxies clump together.
