Institution whose researchers demonstrated that expired Visa-issued cards could be relayed through a phone-based man-in-the-middle app to complete contactless payments.
A UMass Amherst-led study estimates women had a 37% higher probability of internal CEO promotion at multi-unit firms than at stand-alone ones. The authors argue that divisional results are measurable and hard to credit to others, so biased judgment has less room.

UMass Amherst and RIT researchers review 2015-2026 studies in which dying CHO cells lost about 89% of their cytoplasmic conductivity. That makes electrical readings a candidate early warning for failing bioreactor batches, though the evidence so far comes from deliberately starved cells.

King's College London researchers linked more daily steps in 5,515 US adolescents to fewer anxiety and depression symptoms a year later. The study is observational, so step counts become a cheap marker to track, though it cannot yet show that adding steps lowers symptoms.

Two UMass Amherst studies put numbers on shark behaviour that managers can act on, mapping a nurse shark mating ground only 150 meters long and surveying Northeast anglers who lose hooked fish to predators.
Reality
Researchers relayed dead cards through a pair of phones. Whether the payment cleared came down to the issuing bank, not to the date printed on the plastic.
