And she received a rarefied admission offer from Stanford University, one of the most selective institutions in the nation.

To some extent, that happened in Trump’s first term, when selective tariff increases set off costly trade wars with China and others.

Likewise, a membrane with much smaller pores would be more selective yet also require more energy to pump the water through the smaller openings.

This selective emission, achieved through insights from quantum physics, maximizes energy conversion and allows for higher efficiencies than previously possible, operating at the limit of the materials' properties.

The researchers also found that immune-related genes underwent selective pressures across multiple time periods, likely as ancient populations adapted to new diseases introduced by the spread of agriculture and subsequent migrations.
