RIKEN: pulse width significantly alters atom scattering
A RIKEN-led theoretical analysis shows that varying the pulse width of electron wave packets significantly changes how strongly they scatter off an atom, giving researchers a new knob to control high-
KIT controls nuclear spins optically for quantum tech
Researchers at the **Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)** have achieved a breakthrough in quantum physics by optically controlling nuclear spin states in a molecular material, demonstrating their
23andMe Links Two Genes to GLP-1 Response
23andMe researchers identified specific genetic variants in two genes that appear to predict both weight loss outcomes and the likelihood of nausea or vomiting from GLP-1 obesity drugs, according to a
Yale Study: Positional Identity Drift Drives Aging
Yale researchers studying flatworms found that reproductive aging is driven by drift in the body's positional identity map — ovaries ending up in the wrong places as cellular organization breaks down
Traffic Heat Raises Manchester Winter Temps 0.35°C, Study Finds
University of Manchester scientists built a new climate model module showing that heat from vehicle engines, exhausts, and braking raises urban air temperatures by up to 0.35°C in Manchester winters a
Artemis II Crew Breaks Apollo Record, Returns to Earth
NASA’s Artemis II astronauts completed a historic lunar flyby, setting a new distance record and delivering fresh scientific observations before heading back for a Pacific splashdown.
Study: US Plastic Recycling Gap Is About Access, Not Waste
A University at Buffalo study finds that wealthy, college-educated US communities recycle far more plastic packaging not because they generate more waste, but because they live closer to the industria
Artemis II astronauts travel farther, see far side
NASA’s Artemis II crew became the first humans to glimpse the Moon’s far side and witness a total solar eclipse while traveling farther from Earth than any prior manned mission on Monday.
AI Scribes Raise Healthcare Costs, Insiders Privately Concede
AI scribes are quietly driving up healthcare costs through increased coding intensity—a reality both health systems and insurers publicly dispute but privately acknowledge, according to a Peterson Hea
Artemis II crew makes first moon-to-ISS radio call
Artemis II astronauts made the first-ever radio call between a moonship and the International Space Station, chatting with the orbiting lab's crew 230,000 miles away as they head home from their lunar
Atmospheric Dust Boosts Plant Nutrient Uptake
A new study shows that atmospheric dust settling on mildly acidic leaf surfaces can supply plants with essential nutrients such as phosphorus and iron, rivaling soil-derived inputs and challenging the
Heat shock alters fly gene regulation for 3 generations
Climate change may accelerate evolution by triggering inherited changes in gene regulation, a new study in fruit flies suggests, with effects lasting three generations and altering development time.
New guidance offers blueprint for Tribal research agreements
Researchers from North Carolina State University and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians have published a new guidance framework for creating research agreements that protect Tribal data sovereignty
Radboud Study: Dutch Climate Views Unite Over 40 Years
A four‑decade Radboud University study finds Dutch attitudes on climate change have grown more aligned, with rising concern and no widening education divide, contrary to public perceptions of increasi
Connectome‑seq maps synapses at synapse‑level resolution
Researchers at the University of Illinois unveiled Connectome‑seq, an RNA‑barcode sequencing method that maps thousands of mouse brain synapses with single‑synapse precision, promising faster, scalabl
Dating Apps Linked to Body Image Damage in Young Adults
New University of Adelaide research finds dating apps damage body image in young adults aged 18-34, with women more vulnerable to appearance-based rejection and unhealthy weight-control behaviors than
Cornell study uses JQ1 to halt mouse sperm production
Cornell researchers demonstrated that a short‑term JQ1 treatment can temporarily stop sperm production in mice and restore fertility after cessation, offering a reversible, non‑hormonal male contracep
AI Mines Petabytes to Speed Drug Discovery
AI is reshaping drug discovery by analyzing petabytes of biomedical data to predict protein structures, identify disease targets, and surface treatment alternatives for conditions that resist current
See how psychedelics change brain activity
A comprehensive analysis of hundreds of brain images from multiple studies reveals that hallucinogenic drugs significantly alter activity across various brain regions. This synthesis of data provides
Einstein-Bohr light debate tested in lab after 100 years
Two independent teams at USTC and MIT have run the first laboratory test of Einstein and Bohr's century-old thought experiment on light's wave-particle duality, confirming Bohr's predicted trade-off a
