Scientists have revealed that Hawaiian monk seals produce far more underwater vocalizations than previously believed. Their newly discovered 25-call repertoire includes complex combinations and a rare foraging-related call. These findings highlight an intricate acoustic world unfolding beneath the waves. The research opens the door to better protection strategies as human-made ocean noise continues to rise.

Whether you consider Elon Musk a visionary or a liar, he has a long record of publicly setting aggressive deadlines that his companies donât meet. Barring any big breakthroughs over the next few days, the 2025 list will include high-profile promises on robotics manufacturing, robotaxis and AI models that fell short. On one hand, thatâs business as usual for the Musk companies. But the stakes have risen drastically as investors... Read more âș

Even after its acquisition by Qualcomm, the EFF believes Arduino "isn't imposing any new bans on tinkering with or reverse engineering Arduino boards," (according to Mitch Stoltz, EFF director for competition and IP litigation). While Adafruit's managing editor Phillip Torrone had claimed to 36,000+ followers on LinkedIn that Arduino users were now "explicitly forbidden from reverse engineering," Arduino corrected him in a blog post, noting that clause in their Terms...

Yesterday, the ground shook off the coast of Taiwan, slamming the country with the strongest earthquake in 27 years. The seismic wave registered 7.0 in Taiwan's scales, or 6.6 to 6.7 according to the USGS standard. Thankfully, according to reports, TSMC's factories are all intact, saving the world from yet another spike in chip prices. Read more âș

Tramadol, a popular opioid often seen as a âsaferâ painkiller, may not live up to its reputation. A large analysis of clinical trials found that while it does reduce chronic pain, the relief is modestâso small that many patients likely wouldnât notice much real-world benefit. At the same time, tramadol was linked to a significantly higher risk of serious side effects, especially heart-related problems like chest pain and heart failure,... Read more âș

Alzheimerâs has long been considered irreversible, but new research challenges that assumption. Scientists discovered that severe drops in the brainâs energy supply help drive the diseaseâand restoring that balance can reverse damage, even in advanced cases. In mouse models, treatment repaired brain pathology, restored cognitive function, and normalized Alzheimerâs biomarkers. The results offer fresh hope that recovery may be possible. Read more âș

UBC Okanagan researchers have uncovered how plants create mitraphylline, a rare natural compound linked to anti-cancer effects. By identifying two key enzymes that shape and twist molecules into their final form, the team solved a puzzle that had stumped scientists for years. The discovery could make it far easier to produce mitraphylline and related compounds sustainably. It also highlights plants as master chemists with untapped medical potential. Read more âș

A new eco-friendly technology can capture and destroy PFAS, the dangerous âforever chemicalsâ found worldwide in water. The material works hundreds to thousands of times faster and more efficiently than current filters, even in river water, tap water, and wastewater. After trapping the chemicals, the system safely breaks them down and refreshes itself for reuse. Itâs a rare one-two punch against pollution: fast cleanup and sustainable destruction. Read more âș

The familiar fight between âmind as softwareâ and âmind as biologyâ may be a false choice. This work proposes biological computationalism: the idea that brains compute, but not in the abstract, symbol-shuffling way we usually imagine. Instead, computation is inseparable from the brainâs physical structure, energy constraints, and continuous dynamics. That reframes consciousness as something that emerges from a special kind of computing matter, not from running the right program. Read more âș

A new AI developed at Duke University can uncover simple, readable rules behind extremely complex systems. It studies how systems evolve over time and reduces thousands of variables into compact equations that still capture real behavior. The method works across physics, engineering, climate science, and biology. Researchers say it could help scientists understand systems where traditional equations are missing or too complicated to write down. Read more âș

New research suggests Alzheimerâs may start far earlier than previously thought, driven by a hidden toxic protein in the brain. Scientists found that an experimental drug, NU-9, blocks this early damage in mice and reduces inflammation linked to disease progression. The treatment was given before symptoms appeared, targeting the disease at its earliest stage. Researchers say this approach could reshape how Alzheimerâs is prevented and treated. Read more âș

Scientists discovered that common food emulsifiers consumed by mother mice altered their offspringâs gut microbiome from the very first weeks of life. These changes interfered with normal immune system training, leading to long-term inflammation. As adults, the offspring were more vulnerable to gut disorders and obesity. The findings suggest that food additives may have hidden, lasting effects beyond those who consume them directly. Read more âș

Deep ocean hot spots packed with heat are making the strongest hurricanes and typhoons more likelyâand more dangerous. These regions, especially near the Philippines and the Caribbean, are expanding as climate change warms ocean waters far below the surface. As a result, storms powerful enough to exceed Category 5 are appearing more often, with over half occurring in just the past decade. Researchers say recognizing a new âCategory 6â could...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before. Researchers discovered that only the crystalâs outer surfaces become superconductingâallowing electrons to flow with zero resistanceâwhile the interior remains ordinary metal. Even stranger, the electrons on the surface pair up in a highly unusual pattern that breaks all known rules of superconductivity. Read more âș
