We report the performance of a magnetically silent optically pumped cesium magnetometer with a statistical sensitivity of 3.5 pT/ at 1 Hz and a stability of 90 fT over 150 s of measurement. Optical pumping with coherent, linearly-polarized, resonant light leads to a relatively long-lived polarized ground state of the cesium vapour contained in a measurement cell.

- The origin of homochirality in biological organisms is still a mystery, with some theories suggesting it may have extraterrestrial roots involving chiral molecules in space.
- A new study shows that specific forms of neutral amino acids can exhibit significant asymmetry in how they break down when exposed to circularly polarized light, challenging previous beliefs about the insignificance of this effect.
- The results indicate that this dissociation could lead to a notable enantiomeric excess, potentially playing a major role in the development of homochirality in biological systems.
From hero to humility: Critical approaches to teaching servant leadership.
New Dir Stud Leadersh
December 2023
Despite the growth of servant leadership research, current understandings of how to teach servant leadership are limited. Further, current approaches often reinforce heroic notions of servant leadership that do not adequately prepare learners to engage in leadership within their own lives. Against this backdrop, we integrate critical pedagogical approaches within servant leadership education.

- Molecules with short-lived radioactive nuclei can help advance understanding in fundamental symmetries, astrophysics, nuclear structure, and chemistry.
- Recent progress in creating and controlling complex molecules, along with advancements in producing radioactive species globally, presents a unique opportunity for precision measurements and studies of these extreme nuclei.
- This manuscript reviews the significance of radioactive molecules, highlights recent advances in various scientific fields, describes production facilities, and offers future perspectives on this emerging area of research.
Burkitt lymphoma (BL) is an aggressive, high-grade B-cell lymphoma common in children and young adults. Despite being frequently discovered in extranodal sites, BL rarely occurs in the pancreas. We present a case of a patient with BL presenting as obstructive jaundice.
