Mice choose to know things even when it changes nothing

In a trial of 20 patients in China, those injected with lab grown heart muscle cells walked further and had better blood flow than bypass surgery alone

COVID can wake up a slew of dormant viruses inside you

Incarceration rates have substantially declined in the US across the 21st century

New Nature Cell Biology study finds that circadian timing alters tumor-derived extracellular vesicles and that timing targeted cancer therapy to these rhythms improved treatment efficacy in mouse models

A clinical audit of 810 conversations across 9 chatbots found concerning mental health responses were widespread, though less common in newer models.

The shrinking landscape of linguistic diversity in the age of LLMs

Reawakening exhausted natural killer cells to help T cells shrinks resistant ovarian tumors

Low-smoke fuels for residential heating linked to an increase in ultrafine particle emissions

A global analysis finds that under high emissions, about 63% of river fish face water too hot to cross, cutting them off from food and mates.

Climate simulations suggest a weaker Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation causes the global ocean to retain more heat, with past weakening events producing additional warming equivalent to about 25 ppm of atmospheric CO₂…

Magnetically driven MXene–nickel microrobots bound and retrieved microplastics from laboratory water and soil samples

Screening dried blood spots from a Michigan birth cohort of nearly 2,000 children, researchers found roughly 1 in 27,000 babies had a genetic variant tied to early-onset cancer.

Domestic cats kill 1.3–4.0B birds and 6.3–22.3B mammals annually

Diamond melts at about 7,300 K when compressed to three times the pressure at Earth’s core, a lower temperature than earlier experiments found and one that finally agrees with quantum-mechanical predictions

In a trial of 229 people with resectable lung cancer, adding nivolumab before and after surgery significantly extended time without the cancer returning.

A 'super' El Niño could transform the Amazon. Is the biggest rainforest doomed?

Marine heatwaves may threaten human health by intensifying extreme weather, promoting harmful algal blooms, disrupting seafood supplies and livelihoods, and contributing to anxiety and grief in coastal communities…

Human brain organoids record the passage of time over multiple years

Climate modeling suggests that under a high-emissions scenario, hot days could gain more than four additional hours of extreme heat by the end of the 21st century, with hourly measurements revealing heat exposure missed by traditional daily temperature indicators.

Scientists Find Thousands of Cubic Kilometers of mid-crustal Magma Hiding Beneath Tuscany

NASA's IXPE detects 80% X-ray polarization from magnetar 1E 1547.0-5408

Superconducting monolayer cuprate with a single CuO2 plane

Researchers use synchrotron X-ray nanodiffraction to map contact stresses under 80 nm, revealing how amorphous ZrCu/ZrN interlayers dissipate 30% more elastic energy and prevent cracks

A particle made of force: physicists say they've found mysterious 'glueball'

An assessment of food systems across 197 countries finds that fewer than one-third are on track to meet 2030 targets for 22 of 30 indicators, while no country is projected to meet the target for food-system greenhouse gas emissions at its current pace.
