ScienceDaily · 08/29/2025 22:11 EDT

Yale scientists discovered that cavefish species independently evolved blindness and depigmentation as they adapted to dark cave environments, with some lineages dating back over 11 million years. This new genetic method not only reveals ancient cave ages but may also shed light on human eye diseases.

Agent skills have become an important part of real-world AI applications, providing a mechanism — a set of instructions saved in a folder of text-based markdown (.md) files, usually — for models to adapt to specific enterprise use cases and complex workflows. However, optimizing these skills is a slow process and faulty process, as they cannot be trained in the same way as the parameters of the underlying AI model.... Read more

Trump Mobile T1 Phone teardown confirms it's an HTC in disguise

The Trump Mobile T1 Phone was announced last year and went through quite a few design iterations in the meantime, but now seems to have been finalized. The phone has started shipping to some media outlets (around nine months after it was first promised to), and the actual device does look a lot like the HTC U24 Pro from 2024, just with a different color and back panel.

A major review of nearly 8,000 participants found that collagen supplements can improve skin health and ease osteoarthritis symptoms, especially when taken consistently over longer periods. Researchers also found modest benefits for muscle and tendon health. But the results challenge claims that collagen enhances sports performance, as it showed little effect on recovery or post-workout soreness. Read more

Mangroves are famous for trapping vast amounts of carbon, helping slow climate change. However, a new study suggests rising sea levels could eventually reduce that benefit across entire forests. As flooding becomes too extreme, mangroves may die off and their carbon-rich soils could erode, potentially turning these coastal ecosystems from carbon sinks into carbon sources. Read more

Scientists have uncovered unexpected quantum complexity inside cobalt, a metal long thought to be fully understood. Advanced measurements revealed a dense network of topological electronic states that remain robust at room temperature. These states enable extremely fast electron behavior and can be switched or controlled using magnetism. The discovery could open new paths toward next-generation computing and spin-based devices.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising force that may help explain how binary star systems form so quickly. New supercomputer simulations show that magnetic fields surrounding newborn stars can act like a cosmic brake, stripping away angular momentum and allowing two still-forming protostars to spiral closer together instead of drifting apart.

Octopuses may be even smarter than we thought. Researchers at Dartmouth found that octopuses can learn to use mirrors to locate food hidden behind them—a skill previously seen only in vertebrates like mammals and birds. After training, the animals correctly identified the food’s location about 73% of the time, showing they could use a mirror as a tool rather than simply reacting to a reflection. Read more
