New study reveals what drives the evolution of remarkable eyes in deep‑sea hyperiid amphipods
Hyperiid amphipods are a small but anatomically diverse group of shrimp-like crustaceans with remarkable adaptations for life in the ocean's twilight zone. A te...
Sensitive measurements uncover dual superconducting states in atom-thin NbSe₂ and TaS₂
A new study reveals that two widely studied ultrathin superconducting materials are more sophisticated than they appear. Although they seem to behave like simpl...
Sustainability reports: What 10 years of corporate data reveal—and conceal
A new study finds that companies are increasingly disclosing climate data—yet coverage of value chains and social factors remains patchy. Using an AI-powered me...
Quantum currents turn a nano 'soccer ball' into a powerful molecular electromagnet
Driving an electric current through a molecule can create a magnetic field. Yet in practice, such fields are often too weak to be detected experimentally. Throu...
Kohlrabi greenhouse trial shows nutrients recovered from human excreta can replace mineral fertilizer
A new study by Caroline Ganglo and Stefan Karlowsky from the Leibniz Institute for Horticultural Sciences (IGZ) investigated whether human excreta-derived ferti...
Asteroid with unexplained orbital shift turns out to be a 'dark comet'
Typically, astronomers identify comets by their distinct atmospheres, or comae, and their tails, which are created as the sun vaporizes a comet's ice. These fea...
Naked mole-rat queens produce an odorous chemical that ensures that only they can reproduce
An international team led by Dr. Gary Lewin, group leader of the Molecular Physiology of Somatosensory Perception lab at the Max Delbrück Center in Berlin, has...
Desert dust in Europe is increasing with implications for health and solar energy installations
While particulate matter air pollution from human activity in transportation, households and industry is decreasing in Europe, thanks to strict regulations, ano...
New study pinpoints Europe's most critical wetlands for climate action
Wetlands have shaped human life in Europe since ancient times. These ecosystems provided essential resources and safe havens for plants and animals, and in many...
Healthier, more sustainable diets could reshape global agriculture: New study shows by how much
There is a clear need to shift toward healthier and more sustainable food systems. According to the 2025 EAT-Lancet Commission Report, global adoption of a flex...
Risks of solar storms may be underestimated, warn researchers
The effects of extreme space weather may be larger than previously thought, research in the journal Nature reveals. The paper, titled "Regression to the mean ca...
People overestimate legal protections for dogs, study finds
Most people in the U.K. don't fully understand dog laws in the country and often believe stronger protections exist than actually exist, according to a new Univ...
