On April 18, 1955, Albert Einstein died of an abdominal aneurysm at the age of 76, at the University Medical Center of Princeton in Plainsboro, New Jersey. Per his wishes, the legendary physicist's remains were cremated, and his ashes were scattered at an undisclosed location.

People die daily from causes ranging from common ailments, such as heart disease, to rare occurrences, such as getting hit by lightning. But during which month do the most deaths happen in the United States?
The deadliest month in the U.S. is the one that heralds the New Year: January. An average of 251,699 people in the U.S. died in January every year between 2010 and 2020, according to a Live Science analysis of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Wonder database, which tracks how and when people die. In comparison, the averages for the other months for this time period range from 218,102 (August) to 242,475 (December), Live Science found.

Human Climate Horizons platform released
Without concerted and urgent action, climate change will exacerbate inequalities and widen gaps in human development, according to the newHumanClimate Horizons(HCH) platform launched today by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Climate Impact Lab.
Designed to empower people and decision makers everywhere, the platform allows users to see what climate change could mean for people’s lives using
hyperlocal data from over 24,000 places around the world.
“Focusing on the effect of climate change on issues like mortality, labour and energy use, the new Human Climate Horizons puts vital data and analytics into the hands of policymakers, helping countries to take climate action where it is needed most," says UNDP Administrator Achim Steiner. "For instance, the platform shows that stronger global efforts towards the Paris Agreement’s targets could reduce projected mortality from extreme heat in the year 2100 by more than 80%, saving tens of millions of lives.”
Freely available in the lead up to COP27, the HCH platform opens access to an evolving stream of research to help inform action to reduce the unequal effects of rising global greenhouse gas emissions.
What do people die from? What is the life expectancy in different countries, and how has this changed over time? How do health outcomes and systems vary across the world?
Find answers to these questions and many more in our new Global Health Data Explorer.
The explorer covers the following high-level areas, with many indicators within each area and data from multiple sources to compare:
Knot theory began as a way to explain the fundamental makeup of the physical world. Today, it’s applied in fields including fluid dynamics, electrodynamics and genetics.
A Mathematician Who Fled to Freedom but Still Stares Down Doubts
By JORDANA CEPELEWICZ
Svetlana Jitomirskaya was born in Ukraine, but left the Soviet Union to escape sexism and antisemitism. Even though her work in mathematical physics has now been honored with one of the field’s top prizes, she finds herself still fighting old battles.
Inside the Proton, the ‘Most Complicated Thing’ Imagineable
By CHARLIE WOOD; Graphics by MERRILL SHERMAN
The positively charged particle at the heart of the atom is an object of unspeakable complexity. We’ve attempted to connect the proton’s many faces to form the most complete picture yet.
Benevolent Blobs Biomolecular condensates are membraneless cellular organelles that dissolve as soon as their function is fulfilled. Many questions remain about these strange objects, reports Elie Dolgin for Nature. The discovery of these unstructured organelles that are driven by phase changes has fundamentally changed our ideas of how cells work. In 2021 Viviane Callier wrote for Quanta about what we’ve learned so far.
Corvid Companionship Befriending crows requires patience, routine and peanuts, writes Abby Ohlheiser for MIT Technology Review. But in the end, you could be rewarded with gifts of shells and dead snakes. Crows are extremely intelligent. They remember people’s faces and have complex social structures. They also understand abstract math like the concept of zero, as Jordana Cepelewicz reported in 2021.
