"The #ParisAgreement is not on track to meet its goals. But there’s a sliver of hope. Something can be done about methane, the second-most important anthropogenic greenhouse gas," writes Euan Nisbet in a new #ScienceEditorial. scim.ag/56H #COP28

A new approach to #3Dprinting uses ultrasound waves to create objects from sonically cured inks. The approach in Science enables volumetric 3D printing even in opaque media or at deep penetration depths, including, potentially, inside the body. scim.ag/56E

New research is showing that farm animals may be capable of much more than we think. The findings could offer insights into how domestication shaped their brains and could even change how we house and treat them. Learn more this week in Science: scim.ag/56v

Thermoelectric modules convert waste heat into electricity, but finding materials that go in between the thermoelectric material and the electrodes is challenging. Researchers in a new Science study have developed a screening strategy. Learn more: scim.ag/56t
