898 Atacama surprise: The world’s driest desert is teeming with hidden life

ScienceDaily
ScienceDaily · 03/02/2026 10:49 EDT

Even in the ultra-dry Atacama Desert, tiny soil-dwelling nematodes are thriving in surprising diversity. Scientists found that biodiversity increases with moisture and altitude shapes which species survive. In the most extreme zones, many nematodes reproduce asexually — a possible survival advantage. The discovery suggests that life in arid regions may be far richer, and more fragile, than once believed.

I spent three months waking up at 5am and tracking every metric I could find – sleep quality, word count, mood, energy – and the data told a story my ego didn’t want to hear: I was measurably worse at everything that mattered

I need to tell you about an experiment I ran on myself that I’m slightly embarrassed about. Not because it failed – though it did – but because I kept it going long past the point where the evidence was clear, because admitting it wasn’t working felt like admitting something about myself I didn’t want ...

Netflix on Deck This Week; Pressure on Software Stocks Intensifies

We interrupt our regular AI programming to talk about something more entertaining: Netflix! The video-streaming giant kicks off tech earnings season on Thursday with its first-quarter earnings. It’s the first quarterly report since Netflix walked away from its $82.7 billion deal to buy Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming and studio operations, so that distraction is gone. Now we’re back to guessing how long Netflix can keep growing at its recent annual... Read more

Scientists in Canada have uncovered a surprising weakness in glioblastoma, one of the deadliest brain cancers. They found that certain brain cells—once believed to only support healthy nerves—can actually help tumors grow by sending signals that strengthen cancer cells. When researchers blocked this communication, tumor growth slowed dramatically in lab models. Read more

A massive new analysis of over 1,700 languages shows that some long-debated “universal” grammar rules are actually real. By using cutting-edge evolutionary methods, researchers found that languages tend to evolve in predictable ways rather than randomly. Key patterns—like word order and grammatical structure—keep reappearing across the globe. The results suggest shared human thinking and communication pressures shape how all languages develop.

AI is consuming staggering amounts of energy—already over 10% of U.S. electricity—and the demand is only accelerating. Now, researchers have unveiled a radically more efficient approach that could slash AI energy use by up to 100× while actually improving accuracy. By combining neural networks with human-like symbolic reasoning, their system helps robots think more logically instead of relying on brute-force trial and error. Read more

Scientists have identified a potential new weapon against hepatitis E, a virus with no approved treatment and tens of thousands of deaths each year. The drug bemnifosbuvir, currently in trials for hepatitis C, was found to block the virus from replicating by disrupting its genetic machinery. Tests in cells and animals showed strong effectiveness without harming healthy tissue. If ongoing trials succeed, the drug could soon be repurposed for hepatitis... Read more

Quantum circuits are supposed to gain power as they grow longer, but noise changes the picture. A new study finds that earlier steps in these circuits gradually lose their impact, with only the final layers really mattering. As a result, deep quantum circuits behave more like shallow ones. This limits what current quantum computers can realistically achieve. Read more

These subtle fluctuations, long predicted but poorly defined, are now organized into clear categories with specific signals that real-world instruments can search for. The breakthrough means powerful tools like LIGO and even small tabletop experiments could start testing competing... Read more

Your brain’s “stop eating” signal may come from an unexpected source. Researchers found that astrocytes—once thought to just support neurons—actually play a key role in controlling appetite. After a meal, glucose triggers tanycytes, which send signals to astrocytes that then activate fullness neurons. This newly discovered pathway could lead to innovative treatments for obesity and eating disorders. Read more
