Audiobooks Aid Vocabulary; Tutoring Key for Poor Readers
An MIT study finds audiobooks help students build vocabulary, but poor readers need one-on-one instruction alongside them to see real gains — and kids from lower-income backgrounds didn't benefit even
Scientists Advocate Multi‑Target Alzheimer’s Strategy
A new review in Science China Life Sciences argues that Alzheimer’s requires a multi‑target, systems‑level approach, urging combined therapies that address amyloid, tau, genetics, aging, and whole‑bod
Zeaxanthin Boosts T Cells, Enhances Cancer Immunotherapy
University of Chicago researchers report that zeaxanthin, a carotenoid found in vegetables and sold as an eye-health supplement, enhanced CD8+ T cell activity and amplified immunotherapy effectiveness
NASA's Deep Space Network Links Up With Artemis II
NASA's Deep Space Network acquired the radio frequency signal from the crewed Artemis II mission to the moon shortly after its April 1, 2026 launch, marking the network's first crewed deep-space commu
Tarantulas Use Learning to Find Food and Retreats
Field observations across the Americas suggest tarantulas remember and reuse information to navigate between foraging spots and retreats, with even a blind cave species finding its way as effectively
Artemis II lunar flyby; US pushes exclusive zones
NASA's Artemis II mission completed a lunar flyby, sparking debate over future space governance as the U.S. pushes exclusive lunar zones while Indigenous and sustainability advocates call for shared g
Seychelles Warblers Share Gut Bacteria via Social Bonds
A University of East Anglia study of Seychelles warblers on Cousin Island finds the birds share anaerobic gut bacteria primarily with the individuals they spend the most time with at the nest, providi
Artemis II astronauts gather first deep-space radiation data
NASA is using the Artemis II crew's deep-space flyby to collect radiation exposure data — via blood draws, saliva samples, bone-marrow-mimicking chips, and smartwatches — to map health risks for futur
BET Cancer Drugs Fail Because BRD2 and BRD4 Do Different Jobs
Researchers at the Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and Epigenetics identified why BET inhibitor cancer drugs have repeatedly disappointed in clinical trials: BRD2 and BRD4, long treated as inter

Brookhaven & Texas A&M Use Uncertainty to Boost AI Molecules
Researchers from DOE Brookhaven National Laboratory and Texas A&M University developed an uncertainty-guided fine-tuning method for pre-trained AI molecular design models, improving predicted properti
Copenhagen finds antidepressant rise, starts GALADRIEL
A Copenhagen study shows winter wastewater concentrations of antidepressants rise to levels toxic to fish, prompting the launch of the AI‑driven GALADRIEL project to target and remove these emerging p
Nickel Catalyst Builds Mirror-Image Drug Scaffolds
A DGIST research team led by Prof. Sangwon Seo has developed a nickel-based catalytic system that assembles β-methylene carbonyl drug scaffolds exclusively in a single mirror-image isomer form, replac
UVA AI Tools Design Drugs for Flexible Proteins
UVA scientists have developed a suite of AI tools — YuelDesign, YuelPocket, and YuelBond — that use diffusion models to design drug molecules tailored to fit proteins as they flex and shift during bin
BESSY II Finds Electron-Transfer Path in UV Water Radicals
Researchers at Berlin's BESSY II synchrotron used a TEMPO-based detection method to reconstruct how hydroxyl radicals form in UV-irradiated water, overturning prior assumptions about the reaction mech
