120 Lost in space: Microgravity makes sperm lose their sense of direction

ScienceDaily 3 place · 03/29/2026 23:03 EDT

Making babies in space may be more complicated than expected, as new research shows sperm struggle to navigate in microgravity. Scientists found that while sperm can still swim normally, they lose their sense of direction without gravity, making it harder to reach and fertilize an egg. In lab experiments simulating space conditions, far fewer sperm successfully made it through a maze designed to mimic the reproductive tract, and fertilization rates in mice dropped by about 30%.

The Elder Scrolls: Blades, the mobile RPG you probably forgot about long ago, has been delisted and will stop working this summer

Even if The Elder Scrolls 6 is still (potentially) years away, Bethesda has kept fans busy with countless Skyrim remasters/ports and TESO's yearly Chapters and many seasonal updates. In the background, mobile-oriented spinoff The Elder Scrolls: Blades was also trucking along with a small community. But, alas, that little journey is now coming to an end. Read more Read more â€ș

Researchers have developed a teeth-whitening powder that works with the vibrations of an electric toothbrush to safely remove stains. Unlike traditional whiteners, it not only brightens teeth but also repairs enamel and supports healthy oral bacteria. Lab tests showed dramatic whitening effects, while animal studies revealed reduced harmful microbes and inflammation. This could pave the way for a new generation of at-home dental care.

A new study suggests a widely used bone hormone could help relieve chronic back pain in an unexpected way. Instead of just strengthening bone, it appears to stop pain-sensing nerves from growing into damaged spinal areas. In animal models, this led to stronger spinal tissue and reduced pain sensitivity. The findings hint at a future treatment that tackles back pain at its biological roots. Read more â€ș

For the first time, scientists have reconstructed the full history of a galaxy outside the Milky Way using chemical clues. By analyzing oxygen across NGC 1365 and comparing it with simulations, they traced its growth over 12 billion years. The findings show how its core formed early while its outer regions were built through repeated mergers. This new approach could transform how astronomers study galaxy evolution. Read more â€ș

Foams have long baffled scientists because liquid drains from them far sooner than theory predicts. New research shows the reason: the bubbles don’t stay put—they rearrange, opening pathways for liquid to escape. The key factor is the pressure needed to shift bubbles, not just push liquid through them. This insight reshapes how we understand foams and could improve everyday products. Read more â€ș

Scientists have found a clever way to supercharge ultra-thin semiconductors by reshaping the space beneath them rather than altering the material itself. By placing a single-atom-thick layer of tungsten disulfide over tiny air cavities carved into a crystal, they created miniature “light traps” that dramatically boost brightness and optical effects—up to 20 times stronger emission and 25 times stronger nonlinear signals. These hollow structures, called Mie voids, concentrate light exactly... Read more â€ș
