- A chance find at Beta Pictoris: the faintest planet ever imaged from EarthAstronomers set out to measure a known gas giant and turned up a third planet that had sat unnoticed in images for eleven years.
- 385 million years old: the world's oldest amber comes from the DevonianTiny resin grains from a coal seam in northwest China push the origin of plant resin production back by 65 million years.
- Earth twists spacetime: the most precise measurement yet of Einstein's frame-draggingTwo laser-reflecting spheres in orbit confirm one of relativity's subtlest effects to within about 0.2 percent — roughly ten times sharper than before.
- Hubble uncovers four white dwarfs in our cosmic neighbourhoodFour dead stars were hidden in the glare of their red dwarf companions — one is the ninth-closest white dwarf to the Sun, confirmed 27 years after the first hint.
- Solar covers a quarter of EU electricity for the first timePhotovoltaics delivered 52 terawatt hours in June, making it the union's largest single power source — ahead of nuclear, gas, wind and hydro.
- Music industry settles on a common label for AI-made songsIFPI, the RIAA, the Grammys and SAG-AFTRA want streaming services to mark recordings as AI-Generated or AI-Assisted — voluntarily, and modelled on the parental advisory sticker.
- Researchers describe a new colobus monkey from the Congo BasinColobus congoensis, known locally as likweli, is only the fifth monkey species named in Africa in 75 years — and fewer than 1,000 may survive east of the Lomami River.
- Four dead stars were hiding in plain sight within 65 light-years of the SunHubble's ultraviolet eye picked out white dwarfs concealed in the glare of their red dwarf companions — and the count matched what theory had predicted.
- AI radar gives an Arctic weather station its first warning of approaching polar bearsA mother and two cubs walked toward a remote Canadian station, were spotted by machine before any human saw them, and were guided back to the sea ice unharmed.
- Hamburg opens autonomous ride-pooling to passengers for the first timeTen self-driving VW minibuses are now carrying registered passengers through the city's north-east — free of charge, with a safety driver, and under academic scrutiny.
- How the world's highest-dwelling mammal survives above 6,700 metresAndean leaf-eared mice endure minus 60 degrees and half the oxygen of sea level by turning their whole metabolism into a furnace, a study in Science finds.
- Semaglutide slowed markers of biological ageing in a randomised trial – with caveatsThe first placebo-controlled human evidence that a GLP-1 drug shifts epigenetic ageing clocks comes from an exploratory analysis of 84 people, and its authors are the first to say so.
- AI makes the quiet slipping of the San Andreas Fault visibleA Potsdam team found dozens of previously unnoticed slow-slip events in eight years of archived measurements – and a systematic link to later earthquake signals.
- Astronomers find erythrulose – the first sugar in the interstellar mediumThe discovery near the centre of the Milky Way supports the idea that Earth received key building blocks of life from space – and challenges a common assumption in astrochemistry.
- Bloomberg Philanthropies Commits $260 Million to Turn Ocean Pledges Into EnforcementThe money targets the gap between the roughly 10% of the ocean nations have promised to protect and the far smaller share that is actually managed, funded and policed.
- Brussels Clears 659 Million Euros in German Chip SubsidiesFour specialist plants in North Rhine-Westphalia, Schleswig-Holstein, Hesse and Bavaria may be subsidised — one piece of the EU's attempt to double its share of world production by 2030.
- Aalto Physicists Build the First Heat Engine Inside a Superconducting Quantum CircuitA transmon qubit runs through an Otto cycle and does more work than is put into it — a possible way out of the wiring problem facing large quantum computers.
- Remeasured: Neighbouring Planet GJ 3378b Turns Out to Be a Potentially Habitable Super-EarthCorrected values for mass and orbital period pull the exoplanet, 25 light-years away, out of the gas-dwarf category and into the habitable zone — making it a target for future telescopes.
- How Devoted Dads Evolved: Citizen Scientists Rewrite the Story of Parental CareBy pairing three decades of fieldwork with iNaturalist photos, researchers doubled the known cases of parental care in harvestmen – and traced how fatherhood arose again and again.
- After Decades of Loss, Southeast Asia's Mangroves Are Growing BackFour decades of satellite data reveal a hopeful reversal: since 2010 the region has swung from the epicenter of mangrove loss to a driver of global recovery.
- Shared memories ease the grief of dementia caregiversA digital platform helps soften the anticipatory grief of dementia – and strengthens the bond between patients and those who care for them.
- Riddle of Earth's greatest mass extinction solved: heat and lost oxygen decided who livedA Stanford-led study explains why the "Great Dying" 252 million years ago wiped out some sea creatures and spared others.
- A Roman guardian spirit, buried for 1,600 years, resurfaces at Hadrian's WallArchaeologists at Vindolanda uncovered a rare carved 'Genius' beneath a barracks floor, its fine details preserved intact.
- NASA telescope pins down a 'lighthouse' pulsar's magnetic field for the first timeIXPE's X-ray vision confirmed how high-energy particles escape one of the cosmos's most extreme objects – and found its magnetism calmer than expected.
