Should the federal government try to slow — or even block — U.S. biotech deals that could benefit China?
A Tasmanian devil named Mary has been found in an "unstable condition" more than two weeks after escaping her enclosure, an Australian wildlife park said Wednesday.
An analysis published in The Journal of Rural Health has found that among U.S. veterans with serious mental illness (SMI), rural veterans were somewhat more likely to have co-occurring mental health conditions than urban veterans but were less likely to receive SMI care.
New research in General Psychiatry has uncovered a link between higher levels of daytime light exposure and a lower risk of dementia.
Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely prescribed for diabetes and obesity, but studies have found evidence that the medications may also influence behavior, such as supporting impulse control and reducing substance use and alcohol consumption by potentially interacting with the brain's reward and stress systems. New research in Criminology adds to this growing evidence.
A recent study in PsyCh Journal has uncovered numerous limitations in applying a popular framework for assessing social–emotional skills (such as empathy, persistence and curiosity) to children and adolescents around the world.
Scientists are beginning to explore a hidden world of thousands of food chemicals that go far beyond the nutrients listed on nutrition labels. This “nutritional dark matter” may hold the key to understanding disease risk, healthy aging, and why different diets affect people in dramatically different ways.
Drought and water releases drained the Arizona reservoir to levels that have led to widespread fish deaths. The post Low Water at San Carlos Reservoir appeared first on NASA Science.
Greenland has a long and checkered history of human settlement: several Paleo-Inuit cultures since approximately 2,500 BCE, descendants of Vikings between the 10th and 15th centuries, and early modern Danes since 1721. All left their traces on the landscape, for example in the form of ancient domestic rubbish heaps. Composed of waste like animal bones, excrement, mollusk shells and human artifacts, these middens are a precious resource for archaeologists.
European Space Agency mission will trace the relics of ancient mergers and probe the dark matter shaping galaxy growth
PhysCOS Activities at AAS 248 – Wednesday, 17 June 2026 The post PhysCOS Activities at AAS 248 – 17 June 2026 appeared first on NASA Science.
A collaborative study used whole-genome sequencing to examine the genetic makeup of 110 children from Aosta Valley (Valle d'Aosta) with neurodevelopmental disorders and their parents. In a number of cases, researchers identified DNA variants that may be responsible for the children's condition.
It is becoming increasingly urgent to study the effects of climate change on the global ocean system. Future projections indicate significant changes in the Mediterranean and Atlantic circulation systems, which could have unpredictable climatic consequences, especially for one of the most influential ocean currents in the global climate: the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC).
A machine-learning model based on Transformer architecture, a form of artificial intelligence originally developed for language processing, can be used to detect heart disease from electrocardiograms (ECGs), according to research published in the International Journal of Medical Engineering and Informatics. Tests show it works well with data from several well-known medical datasets.
The body size, morphology and associated behavioral traits of flower-visiting insects strongly influence the quantity of pollen they transport. Thus, pollinators with similar appearances are often assumed to exert similar ecological effects on plants. However, pollinators' effects on plants are not determined solely by the amount of pollen they carry.
Indian millets are a staple for the country's population of more than a billion. They are also gaining global popularity, with rising exports and a reputation as a climate-resilient crop. Now, new research shows that their nutritional value includes a rich diversity of lipids, including a previously undetected group that may offer potential health benefits. The research is published in the journal Food Chemistry.
While the world's most advanced climate models successfully reproduce heat waves once they are underway, they consistently miss key atmospheric processes that trigger these events, potentially limiting the ability to anticipate extreme heat several days in advance.
Depression appears to change what children notice in the faces around them, but the effect depends on family history. Kids with a higher inherited risk became more focused on sadness, while lower-risk children lost some of their natural attention to happy expressions.
Diabetes and dementia appear to be closely intertwined, with each condition potentially influencing the other. Problems with insulin and glucose can affect the brain’s energy supply, increase inflammation, and damage blood vessels linked to memory loss. Researchers are also finding that some popular diabetes medications may lower dementia risk. These discoveries are opening new possibilities for protecting brain health as people age.
Even at this early stage in our spacefaring age, humanity has already begun sending probes that will eventually reach other solar systems, even if that was not their original intention. Five robotic explorers—Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and New Horizons—are all on escape trajectories out of the solar system and might someday enter another one. They will no longer be operational at that point, but they serve as proof of concept that spacefaring civilizations do indeed build interstellar probes.
