The climate benefits of retiring an operational combustion engine vehicle

Birdsong similar to human language, study finds

Atmospheric data show Siberian methane emissions rose 12 teragrams a year between 2010 and 2023, and could offset a fifth of global methane cuts needed by 2050.

New study on heart failure finds Urolithin A, a compound some people's gut bacteria produce from pomegranates, improved heart relaxation and reduced fibrosis in mice with the stiff-heart form of heart failure

Seismic waves reflected from Earth’s core moved parts of Japan 5 mm east.

AI in drug discovery – what it is, where we stand and the path forward

Snow-eater heat waves of the western United States

Targeted marine cloud brightening weakens subsequent El Niño

Shattered skeleton is first confirmed death from trebuchet

Behold the 'Glueball,' a Strange New Form of Matter

An analysis of nearly 3,500 wildfires across western North America found faster-spreading fires caused more severe tree mortality and left burned areas farther from surviving seed trees, reducing the ability of conifer forests to naturally recover.

Flatworms, Ion Channels, and Burning Mouths

NIH is ending a key grant for budding clinical researchers

Research suggests primate brains didn't get big for thinking, they got big for seeing: across 56 million years of fossil skulls, the frontal lobe is the same fraction of the brain in humans as in tree shrews, while vision-processing regions grew along with the optic nerve.

Preventing Misfolding by Preventing Folding

Deep-sea vehicles spot 'alien' sharks deep beneath the waves in the Pacific

Blocking the inflammatory enzyme caspase-1 reduced lung tumor development in high-risk mice, while combining a caspase-1 inhibitor with an IL-1 beta antibody prevented tumors entirely in nearly 20% of treated mice, suggesting a potential approach for lung cancer prevention.

Reducing exposure to untrustworthy sources on Facebook by 70% had no effects on attitude or beliefs

Saber-toothed cats became inbred–and struggled to move–before they went extinct

Couple pay >$800k for a gene-editing therapy for their daughter. She died.

The rise and fall of language diversity through the Holocene

Clinical failure rates over the decades: yikes

New climate model suggests Greenland meltwater and atmospheric warming will gradually weaken the AMOC by up to 80% rather than trigger an abrupt collapse, with the ocean current fully recovering by 2400 if global CO2 emissions are reversed.
