'Quantum jitters' may drive DNA mutations {Duke University Research}
Duke University researchers have discovered “quantum jitters,” in which the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA can temporarily change shapes, fooling the cell's machinery into making a mismatched base pair.

Academic research on student engagement - lost formulae to inspiring students
