Researchers have uncovered a molecular trick used by hornwort plants that could help future crops capture carbon dioxide more efficiently. A unique protein feature called RbcS-STAR causes the key photosynthesis enzyme Rubisco to cluster into dense compartments, helping it work more effectively. When scientists added this feature to other plants, Rubisco reorganized in the same way. The finding raises the possibility of engineering more efficient photosynthesis into major crops.

The idea that you need to save up a certain amount of money before having kids is so common it can feel almost like a moral law. But it isnât, and I said as much recently when a reader wrote in to my advice column asking if sheâs too poor to have a baby. I [âŠ] Read more âș

HUDIMM is being proposed as a cheaper memory spec using only 1x 32-bit subchannel per stick instead of 2x 32-bit in order to populate less ICs. Turns out, halving the bandwidth like that actually slashes the performance in half too, alongside the expected capacity reduction. Two HUDIMMs running in dual channel perform similar to a single regular DDR5 stick. Read more âș

"After a Supreme Court of the United States ruling in Feb. 2026, many tariffs imposed by the Trump administration were declared illegal because the president overstepped his authority," writes Slashdot reader hcs_$reboot.

According to the New York Times, the administration has now begun accepting refund requests, "surrendering its... Read more âș

Public restrooms might seem like a germ nightmare, but the real risks arenât always where you think. While toilet seats can carry bacteria, viruses, and even parasite traces, studies show theyâre often cleaner than high-touch surfaces like door handles and flush levers. The biggest hidden threat comes from âtoilet plumesââtiny germ-filled droplets launched into the air when flushing without a lidâand from poor hand hygiene. Read more âș

Spending time with close companions might do more than strengthen bondsâit could also reshape your gut bacteria. In a study of island birds, those with stronger social ties shared more gut microbes, especially types that require direct contact to spread. This suggests that social interaction itselfânot just shared spaceâdrives microbial exchange. The same process may be happening in human households through everyday closeness. Read more âș

Mitochondria donât just generate energyâthey also carefully organize their own DNA in a surprisingly elegant way.

For years, water managers have been puzzled as the Colorado River kept delivering less water than expectedâeven when snowpack levels looked promising. New research reveals the missing piece: spring rain, or rather, the lack of it. Warmer, drier springs mean plants are soaking up more snowmelt before it can reach rivers, fueled by sunny skies that boost growth and evaporation. In fact, this shift explains nearly 70% of the shortfall,... Read more âș

Quantum systems can secretly ârememberâ their pastâeven when they appear not to. Scientists found that whether a system shows memory depends on how you look at it: through its evolving state or its measurable properties. Each perspective uncovers different kinds of memory, meaning a system can seem memoryless and memory-filled at the same time. This discovery could change how researchers design and control quantum technologies. Read more âș

Loneliness may quietly affect how well older adults remember thingsâbut it might not be speeding up mental decline after all. A large European study tracking over 10,000 people for seven years found that those who felt lonelier started off with weaker memory, yet their memory didnât deteriorate any faster than those who felt more socially connected. The findings challenge the idea that loneliness directly accelerates cognitive decline or dementia, suggesting... Read more âș

Bread and other carbohydrate staples may be doing more than just filling platesâthey could be quietly reshaping metabolism. In a surprising twist, researchers found that mice strongly preferred carbs like bread, rice, and wheat, abandoning their regular diet entirely. Even without eating more calories, they gained weight and body fat, not because they overate, but because their bodies burned less energy. Read more âș

A new study from the University of HawaiÊ»i at MÄnoa is overturning a decades-old belief that Indigenous Hawaiians hunted native waterbirds to extinction. Instead, researchers found no scientific evidence supporting this claim and propose a more complex explanation involving climate change, invasive species, and shifts in land useâmany occurring before Polynesian arrival or after traditional stewardship systems were disrupted.

A breakthrough experiment has shed new light on one of astrophysicsâ biggest mysteries: the origin of rare proton-rich elements. For the first time, scientists directly measured a key reaction that creates selenium-74 using a rare isotope beam. The results sharpen models of how these elements form in supernova explosions, cutting uncertainty in half. But the findings also reveal gaps in current theories, hinting that the story isnât complete yet. Read more âș
