A group of brain cells called orexin neurons appears to help us keep working when reaching a reward becomes increasingly difficult。 Blocking their activity weakened motivation in rats, pointing to a possible new target for understanding why people sometimes struggle to sustain goal-directed behavior
Scientists have identified a molecular switch that may help explain why aging makes the brain more vulnerable to diseases such as ALS and Huntington’s。 In worms, the protein EPS8 builds up with age and triggers signaling that encourages toxic proteins to clump together, damaging neurons and shortening lifespan。 Reducing EPS8 activity prevented thes
DNA traces in the Shroud of Turin reveal a remarkable mixture of human lineages, microbes, plants, animals, and coral accumulated through centuries of handling and travel。 The findings do not prove its age or authenticity, but they expose a hidden biological history preserved in the famous cloth
Once united in support of President Trump, right-wing influencers are embroiled in feuds and losing viewers, creating a problem for Republicans in the midterm elections
The solar wind may be stripping away Mars’ atmosphere by creating giant rolling waves along its outer edge。 Data from MAVEN and Tianwen-1 show that these waves form plasma clouds that carry atmospheric particles into space。 The process is concentrated on one side of Mars and may have played a major role in drying out the once potentially habitable
Thawing Arctic permafrost is releasing ancient carbon into the ocean, raising fears that microbes could turn it into greenhouse gases and accelerate climate change。 But sediment cores collected near Canada’s Herschel Island reveal a more reassuring twist: most of this land-based carbon becomes buried in the seafloor, while only about 10 percent is
Animal bones preserved in South Australia’s underwater caves reveal distinctive clues shaped by darkness, algae, bacteria, and other environmental conditions。 The findings give scientists a powerful new way to reconstruct how ancient megafauna remains entered and survived in submerged cave systems
Taiwan’s steep, remote mountains have sheltered extraordinary forests containing hundreds of giant Taiwania firs。 After years of difficult expeditions, LiDAR mapping, and citizen-science detective work, researchers discovered an 84。1-meter (276-foot) tree, the tallest known in East Asia
Ultrafast X-rays revealed how a molecule converts absorbed light into motion in just trillionths of a second。 Individual atoms recorded different stages of the process, opening a powerful new window into light-driven chemistry
A new chemical process can transform three of the most common plastics into high-purity hydrogen without sorting them first。 The technique operates at much lower temperatures than traditional gasification and captures most of the plastic’s carbon in solid or liquid forms instead of releasing it as carbon dioxide

Snapchat, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Substack are trying to combat the proliferation of fake AI content
Physicists have uncovered a surprising limit to electrical resistance caused by particles colliding。 Using ultracold potassium atoms trapped in a grid of light, researchers created a highly controlled stand-in for electrons moving through a solid。 As collisions became more frequent and intense, resistance initially rose, but eventually hit a ceilin
NASA’s Swift Observatory observed a supermassive black hole ripping apart a star more than 30,000 light-years from the center of a distant galaxy。 The extraordinary flare briefly outshone its entire host galaxy in ultraviolet light and revealed a black hole about a million times the Sun’s mass
An appeals court in Canada acquitted Brandon Klayme of charges related to child sexual abuse imagery。 His Kik username had one less underscore than another account that was involved
Mugshawtys and similar pages often frame mugshots as thirst traps。 The women featured are mocked and are sometimes sexually harassed in a form of public shaming
