Medical Xpress / How the brain switches between older and newer memories
As humans and other animals experience new things, their brains continuously update their memory of past events. These updates allow them to adapt to changing environments, all while preserving older memories that could still ...
Science X / Grasslands are facing a threat of poisonous plant takeover—but there's a surprising upside
Grasslands provide food for millions of grazing animals across the world, but overgrazing along with climate change make these valuable ecosystems vulnerable to invaders. In particular, certain species of poisonous plants ...
Science X / Perseverance rover uncovers the role of water in Mars's mineral past
NASA's Perseverance rover has spent more than three and a half years exploring Mars's Jezero Crater, building up a remarkable catalog of mineral discoveries.
Science X / After rapid weight loss, daily bacteria capsules may help curb regain and boost metabolism
Akkermansia muciniphila (MucT), a tiny beneficial bacterium that lives in the mucus layer of the gastrointestinal system, could hold the secret to keeping weight gain at bay after going on a low-calorie weight-loss diet. ...
Phys.org / Neanderthal dentists used stone drills to treat cavities nearly 60,000 years ago, ancient molar suggests
Neanderthals had the know-how to identify a tooth infection and the motor skills to drill out the damage, according to a study published May 13, 2026, in the open-access journal PLOS One by Alisa Zubova of Peter the Great ...
Medical Xpress / Inside the cerebellum, unique neurons predict the timing of future events
Humans and other animals constantly make predictions about future events based on previous experiences and their perceptions of the surrounding environment. This predictive process is described by a mathematical framework ...
Phys.org / New species of venomous box jellyfish discovered in Singapore
Finding highly venomous box jellyfish that are almost invisible in water is not an easy task—but researching them is crucial so that we can learn how to safely avoid them. Stings from these "sea-wasps" are extremely painful ...
