Phys.org / Ocean acidification is ruining reef fishes' social lives, study finds
A new study from Adelaide University has found that when ocean acidification makes reef habitat less complex, the fish living there gather in smaller shoals that offer less social protection.
Phys.org / Bodies in fashion: Diversity is up, but the ideal stays the same
Fashion and media have become visibly more diverse over the past quarter-century. Yet beneath that surface change, a new study suggests that the industry's central female body ideal has barely shifted.
Phys.org / The Bayeux Tapestry tells only the winner's story—but the other side can be found in old English texts

Medical Xpress / Psilocybin cuts nerve pain for weeks and boosts gabapentin in mice
A single dose of psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, reduces nerve pain for up to a month and makes a widely used painkiller work more effectively, University of Reading research has found.
Medical Xpress / Cholesterol-craving cancers need lipid enzymes to use metabolites for growth, study shows
While many American adults are trying to reduce cholesterol levels, certain cancerous tumors have a relentless appetite for the metabolite. Some tumor cells use as much cholesterol as they can access to accelerate their growth ...
Phys.org / Agentic AI could help electron microscopes plan, adapt and analyze experiments
Scientific discovery is often portrayed as the result of long hours alone in a lab, but true science is inherently collaborative. The most robust experimental processes are developed through partnerships across multiple areas ...
Medical Xpress / How a father's obesity affects his children's metabolism
The scientific literature already contains robust evidence that obesity, whether maternal or paternal, can lead to metabolic changes in offspring that increase their risk of developing diseases. A new study published in the ...
