17 Chic Pieces Fashion Editors Are Buying to Transform Their Spring Wardrobes

I dare you to walk 10 blocks around Manhattan, Los Angeles, or any major city in Italy for that matter without at least a few Fendi logo sightings. Trust me, it won’t happen because the brand has majorly won over cool girls everywhere. I, too, love the brand (my little Fendi card case has all but taken the place of my everyday wallet), but the latest collection has my interest piqued well beyond accessories.

At first I thought it was because Kaia Gerber is featured in the campaign (I’m a major style stalker of hers). Yes, she makes everything look 100% awesome, but I’ll admit that I’ve apparently been sleeping on Fendi’s ready-to-wear. The classic pieces are infused with modern, utilitarian elements that are just the type of thing that will be trendy now and timeless much later. I’m geeking out on these 17 things from Fendi in particular.

Quantum physics and origami for the ultimate get-well card

The bizarre optical properties of tiny metal particles — smaller than light waves — can be captured on paper to detect even a single target molecule in a test sample. These hyper-sensitive testing devices could be assembled and customized at the point of use in low-resource environments, with virtually limitless applications spanning medicine, forensics, manufacturing and environmental safety.

A new model to trial preventative treatments for schizophrenia

Neuroscientists have developed a new animal model of schizophrenia that will enable researchers around the world to better understand the disease and develop new treatments. Schizophrenia, which affects around seven people in 1,000, is a poorly understood group of mental disorders that disrupt cognition and behavior. The precise neurological cause of schizophrenia is unknown and the development of better treatments are urgently needed. This research will provide a model to begin to address some of the underlying fundamental mechanisms involved.
