PUYALLUP, WA President Joe Biden on Friday signed a new batch of executive orders, one of which specifically aims to curb pandemic-induced hunger for millions of Americans in states including Washington.
In 2020, record-setting unemployment and sudden health care expenses due to the pandemic caused a dramatic spike in the number of hungry Americans. Feeding America, the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, originally estimated the number of people experiencing food insecurity in the United States would swell to 50 million by the end of the year.
One of the two latest orders from the White House hopes to provide much-needed relief to those facing the unprecedented hunger crisis.

Real-world materials are usually messier than the idealized scenarios found in textbooks. Imperfections can add complications and even limit a material s usefulness. To get around this, scientists routinely strive to remove defects and dirt entirely, pushing materials closer to perfection. Now, researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have turned this problem around and shown that for some materials defects could act as a probe for interesting physics, rather than a nuisance.
