Artemis II Crew Splashes Down After 10-Day Moon Flyby
NASA's Artemis II crew splashed down in the Pacific off San Diego on Friday after a 10-day lunar flyby, becoming the first humans to travel to the moon and return safely since Apollo 17 in 1972.
Jasper Baur’s Drone AI Detects 90% of Land Mines
A Columbia Ph.D. student is pairing drones, geophysical sensors, and AI to locate land mines, achieving up to 90 % detection for certain devices and offering a faster, cheaper complement to traditiona
Small Jupiter Trojans Break Color Pattern, Subaru Finds
Subaru Telescope observations of small Jupiter Trojan asteroids reveal a continuous color distribution rather than the clear red/less-red split seen in larger Trojans, challenging a leading hypothesis
SNIPE shreds phage DNA, lets E. coli survive
MIT researchers have characterized SNIPE, a membrane-anchored nuclease in E. coli that shreds phage DNA into fragments before infection can begin — a rare "direct defense" that lets the host bacterium
CSIRO DNA Work Reveals Seaweed Species Unknown to Science
CSIRO seaweed taxonomist Dr. Cintia Iha and her team are fusing traditional field identification with DNA sequencing to revise Australia's seaweed family tree, revealing that up to half of species rem
Relacorilant extends survival in resistant ovarian cancer
A clinical trial involving 381 patients shows relacorilant, a drug originally studied for Cushing’s syndrome, may improve survival in those with platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, a form of the diseas
Tropical Trees Have More Positive Neighbor Links
A new Nature study finds tropical trees foster more positive neighbor relationships than temperate trees across diverse global sites, a pattern that may help explain the extraordinary species richness
Pearl millet reached Lac de Guiers by AD 200, survey finds
A study in Azania documents the earliest known occurrence of pearl millet beyond the Middle Senegal Valley — roughly 650 grains recovered from the Gnith site in northern Senegal's Lac de Guiers basin,
Warmer Caribbean Slows Hurricanes, Intensifies Rainfall
Rapid ocean warming is causing tropical cyclones in the North Atlantic to slow down and produce significantly more intense rainfall, with precipitation rising roughly 21% per degree of local warming,
Monash Metasurfaces Pack 11 Functions on One Surface
Monash University researchers have shown that deliberately introducing controlled disorder into ultra-thin metasurfaces can pack multiple optical functions into a single device, with a proof-of-concep
First High-Resolution Structure of BoDV-1 Mapped
A Japanese research team has produced the first high-resolution structural map of the Borna disease virus 1 nucleoprotein-RNA complex, closing what researchers call the last major unresolved structura
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
Yellowstone Magma Shaped by Tectonics, Not Mantle Plume
A new study published in Science, using a 3D geodynamic model built by Chinese researchers, finds that tectonic forces in the lithosphere — not a deep mantle plume — are the primary driver of Yellowst
Dual-Frequency Paul Trap Holds Electrons and Ions Together
Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz have built a dual-frequency Paul trap that can simultaneously hold particles requiring vastly different confinement fields — a step toward synthesizi
Synthetic Rods Reveal Shape-Based Active Turbulence Sweet Spot
Researchers at the University of Twente used light-driven synthetic colloidal rods to show that particle shape alone dictates collective behavior, with an intermediate aspect ratio producing a 'sweet
Rewilding Wetlands Proposed to Block Military Advances
University of East London researchers propose 'defensive rewilding'—restoring wetlands, forests and peatlands to create natural military terrain that slows armored advances while delivering carbon sto
Menstrual Blood Vesicles Regenerate Cartilage
Lithuanian researchers at Kaunas University of Technology found that extracellular vesicles from menstrual blood stromal cells stimulated cartilage repair in osteoarthritis tissue, with the cell-free
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
Geneva AI stool test detects 90% of colorectal cancers
Swiss researchers at the University of Geneva have built an AI‑driven stool test that identifies 90% of colorectal cancers, a finding echoed across coverage, but the study also underscores its broader
