Phys.org / Moms' learned fear of snakes gets inherited by offspring in a critically endangered mouse, biologists discover
Conservationists often raise the young of endangered species in captivity before releasing them into suitable habitats as adults. The benefits are obvious: survival to adulthood is typically high, as captive animals are safe ...
Medical Xpress / Brain surgery for pituitary tumor helps Illinois mom have second baby
A suburban Chicago woman who feared she might never have another child is now celebrating a growing family after brain surgery at Northwestern Medicine.
Phys.org / Leak on space station triggers brief safety alert
Astronauts working on the International Space Station briefly sheltered in a docked capsule Friday as Russian colleagues assessed leak repairs, NASA said.
Tech Xplore / Battleship-trained AI learns to ask sharper questions, boosting win rate from 8% to 82%
In 2026, the hype for artificial intelligence agents is louder than ever before. These semi-autonomous programs can "think" and execute well-defined tasks in areas like customer service and software development, typically ...
Phys.org / Majestic manta rays dive deep to survive storm events, data reveal
New research led by the University of the Sunshine Coast has found that reef manta rays are diving deep in storm events to find food and stay alive. As World Environment Day is celebrated around the globe on June 5, the findings ...
Tech Xplore / Driverless cars are on the rise, and now we may know why they crash
For the first time, new algorithms may be able to automatically explain why some self-driving cars crash—a question crucial to answer as more autonomous vehicles take to the roads. This new approach, developed by researchers ...
Medical Xpress / Brain circuit links memory to hearing, revealing how learned sounds guide behavior
Short-term memories are thought to be formed deep within the brain in structures such as the hippocampus, but little is known about how and where memory-related information is kept in the brain or the process of drawing on ...
Medical Xpress / Experts highlight limits of evidence from ultraprocessed food trials
A group of eating behavior and metabolism experts from across Europe have published a Perspective article in the journal Science examining the limitations of current evidence on ultraprocessed foods (UPFs).
Phys.org / DNA repair enzyme uses one-dimensional sliding to detect key sites, researchers reveal
DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In particular, if "apurinic/apyrimidinic sites" (AP sites, damaged sites where one letter of DNA information ...
Phys.org / D&D-seq maps DNA-protein interactions in single cells with multi-omics compatibility
A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell ...
Phys.org / Ultrafast laser shrinks to chip scale, potentially lowering costs for diagnostics and atomic clocks
Ultrafast lasers emit pulses lasting only a few hundred femtoseconds (quadrillionths of a second). These flashes of light power applications from precision micromachining to eye surgery to optical frequency combs, the Nobel ...
Phys.org / Can fighting via text be good for a relationship?
Today, many of our social interactions are routed through technology: text messages, video calls, voice messages, emails and instant messaging apps. In romantic relationships, couples often use these methods to deal with ...
