Keck Survey Confirms Mass‑Rotation for Exoplanets
A new Keck‑based survey of 32 distant gas giants and brown dwarfs validates the long‑standing prediction that a planet’s mass and its planet‑to‑star mass ratio shape its spin rate.
Buoys Slowly Release Algaecide to Kill Cyanobacteria
University of Toledo researchers have built PVC buoys that steadily release hydrogen peroxide-based algaecide through hydrogel disks, eliminating nearly all cyanobacteria in Lake Erie water tests with
Artemis 2 Astronauts Will Study the Moon With Naked Eyes
Artemis 2 astronauts will rely primarily on their own trained eyes to study the lunar surface during Monday's flyby, backed by over two years of geological field training and classroom preparation.
Primordial Black Hole Explosions Created All Matter
A new paper from Vrije Universiteit Brussel and MIT proposes that violent explosions of microscopic primordial black holes in the early universe created the shock waves needed to explain why matter ex
Scientists Urge FCC Review of Satellite Mirror Plans
Sleep and circadian researchers from 2,500 scientists across 30+ countries have urged the FCC to halt or review Reflect Orbital and SpaceX satellite proposals, warning that reflective mirrors and up t
FTL1 Drives Brain Aging — Reducing It Reverses Memory Loss
UCSF researchers identified the FTL1 protein as a key driver of age-related cognitive decline in mice, showing that reducing it in old animals reversed memory loss and restored neural connections in t
Artemis 2 Crew Sees Moon's Orientale Basin for First Time
The Artemis 2 crew, now two-thirds through their 10-day lunar flyby mission, became the first humans to see the moon's Orientale basin in its entirety — a massive bullseye-shaped crater sometimes call
Artemis II toilet acts up as crew nears moon flyaround
The Artemis II crew is more than halfway to the moon and preparing for a historic lunar fly-around, but a repeat toilet malfunction has forced them onto backup urine bags as engineers investigate a su
Birmingham AI Study IDs Shared Gut Disease Biomarkers
University of Birmingham researchers used AI to map gut bacteria and metabolites linked to gastric cancer, colorectal cancer, and inflammatory bowel disease, finding these conditions share enough biol
AI chatbots produce sanitized rewilded Britain images
A study by University of Aberdeen geographers shows AI chatbots generate overly tidy, human‑free images of rewilded Britain, while only detailed prompts yield the messy, predator‑filled scenes that re
Study Finds Tropical Insects Near Heat Limits
A new study of more than 2,000 tropical insects across Kenya and Peru finds many lowland species already live at the edge of their heat tolerance, warning that climate warming could push them beyond s
Scientists Identify New Class of White Dwarf Remnants
Scientists at Austria's ISTA have confirmed X-ray emissions from two isolated white dwarf merger remnants — Gandalf and Moon-Sized — sharing five key properties and forming a new class of stellar obje
Vanderbilt Report: Heat Deaths Outpace Hurricanes
A new Vanderbilt‑backed report reveals that extreme heat kills more U.S. residents annually than hurricanes, floods and tornadoes combined, urging culturally grounded, collective policies to address h
Science Finds Earliest Deuterostome Fossils in China
A new fossil assemblage from the late Ediacaran of Yunnan reveals the earliest known deuterostomes, pushing back the origins of the animal lineage that includes humans and redefining the timeline of c
Surrey AI flags racehorse heart risks from short ECG
University of Surrey-led researchers developed an AI system that analyzes short ECG recordings taken during a horse's warm-up trot to identify racehorses at risk of dangerous cardiac arrhythmias durin
Yunnan Fossils Show Complex Animals 539 Myr Ago
Scientists have uncovered more than 700 539‑million‑year‑old fossils in Yunnan, China that reveal three‑dimensional, bilaterally symmetric animals existed in the late Ediacaran, pushing the emergence
Experts warn unregulated peptides lack human evidence
Influencer-driven hype around experimental peptides masks a lack of human evidence and regulatory oversight, prompting health experts to warn of safety risks, potential contamination, and illegal mark
Deforestation increases river water flow
Decades of paired-watershed experiments consistently demonstrate that deforestation leads to an increase in the total volume of water flowing through rivers. This established connection between forest
Argonne maps iridium surface, Ir(111) beats Pt for H2
Argonne National Laboratory researchers have mapped iridium’s crystal‑facet‑dependent surface chemistry, showing that the Ir(111) face outperforms platinum for hydrogen evolution and oxidation while g
84% of U.S. States Are Warming in Hidden Ways
A PLOS Climate study finds that while only 55% of U.S. states show rising average temperatures, 84% are warming in hidden ways—through hotter highs or warmer lows—revealing stark regional inequalities
