After 70 years of excavation, ancient Sardis becomes a UNESCO World Heritage site
After nearly seven decades of excavation, the legendary ancient city of Sardis has become a UNESCO World Heritage Site, celebrating years of discoveries that continue to reshape its history. Archaeologists say the biggest breakthroughs don't happen in a single season—they emerge
NASA’s Lucy finds a wobbling peanut-shaped asteroid with signs of ancient water
NASA’s Lucy spacecraft discovered that asteroid Donaldjohanson is a wobbling, peanut-shaped relic born from a violent collision and slowly reshaped by the subtle force of sunlight. It also carries traces of ancient water, making it an important clue to the solar system’s mysterio
They knew the pill was fake but their memory still improved
Healthy older adults experienced measurable improvements in memory, physical performance, and stress after taking placebo pills for just three weeks. The most surprising finding was that the placebo often worked even when participants knew the pills were completely inactive.
This common vitamin deficiency can mimic normal aging
Vitamin B12 is needed in microscopic amounts, but a shortage can have major effects on health and energy. The vitamin was first linked to a lifesaving liver treatment for pernicious anemia nearly 100 years ago. Today, researchers are finding that B12 may also help keep cellular p
FDA-approved drug may finally help immunotherapy defeat rare liver cancer
Researchers found that a rare liver cancer evades immunotherapy by luring immune T cells away from the tumor and trapping them in nearby fibrous tissue. An FDA-approved drug called AMD3100 freed those T cells to attack the cancer, significantly improving the effectiveness of immu
Antibiotics trigger bacterial teamwork, boosting survival through shared proteins
When bacteria are under antibiotic attack, it is not "every man for himself." Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and colleagues from collaborating institutions have discovered that bacterial populations work as a team to survive antibiotics. The study, published in the jou
Smile spacecraft reaches science orbit
The European-Chinese Smile mission reached its designated science orbit on June 20, 2026. The team is now embarking on a two-month campaign to commission the spacecraft, which involves switching on and testing its toolbox of science instruments.
Why AI rules in science matter now: Nature backs wider debate beyond mathematics
In an editorial, Nature endorses the "Leiden Declaration on Artificial Intelligence and Mathematics," which was published earlier this month by researchers from 15 different universities, including Rodrigo Ochigame (CADS) and David Holmes (FWN).
Looking for work? Don't worry about seeming too eager
Many people worry that responding too quickly to a prospective employer could make them seem too available or even desperate. New research published in Management Science suggests they may be worrying about the wrong thing.
Ultra-precise technology can count damaged DNA fragments
The Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science has developed an ultrasensitive immunoassay-based analytical platform that can detect and quantify trace amounts of "Small Excised Damaged DNA (sedDNA)" fragments generated during cellular DNA repair. This technology enables h
How soil pH shapes rice stink bug outbreaks by controlling key bacteria
Researchers at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), in collaboration with researchers from the University of the Ryukyus and the University of Electro-Communications, have discovered that soil pH is a key factor in regulating the symbiotic
