Since October 7, 2023, the global academic community has witnessed an unprecedented surge in campaigns to ostracize Israeli universities. What began as campus protests has hardened into “silent boycotts”—institutional breaks, journal desk rejections, and quiet exclusions from research consortia.

Dark points within a changing wave pattern can shift faster than light, even while the waves carrying energy move far more slowly. An electron microscopy experiment has tracked that counterintuitive behavior in a thin material sample. The moving features are locations where a measured wave field cancels to zero. Their motion describes an evolving pattern, […]
