- AI uncovers the silent movements of the San Andreas FaultA German-American team filtered dozens of previously hidden, shake-free ground movements out of years of measurements.
- Turkish cave: Neanderthals and Homo sapiens shared one culture for over 20,000 yearsFinds from Üçağızlı II Cave reveal a cultural continuity that spanned the species divide – down to symbolically collected seashells.
- A century of children growing taller: how the world pushed back stuntingA new dataset reconstructing more than a hundred years of children's heights shows that severe malnutrition is not inevitable – and Japan's history proves it can be beaten.
- On a Sicilian volcano, drones map the gases that foreshadow an eruptionGerman research teams are testing laser- and sensor-equipped drones on Vulcano, gathering readings that were once too dangerous to collect on foot.
- DNA on the cave wall: Stone Age art becomes a genetic archiveFor the first time, researchers have recovered ancient human DNA directly from painted and unpainted cave walls in Spain and Portugal – a new window into prehistory.
- HPV vaccine: no young woman in England is dying of cervical cancer any moreAn analysis of all national mortality data shows the school vaccination programme has all but defeated cervical cancer in 20- to 24-year-olds – while Germany still vaccinates too few.
- A 72,000-study audit finds preprints hold up surprisingly wellWhen biomedical papers posted online before peer review reach a journal, their central conclusions rarely change — and they are retracted less often, a large new analysis reports.
- A Welsh 'Celtic rainforest' is whole again after nearly 60 yearsRSPB Cymru has bought the 96-hectare Gallt-y-bere, the missing link between two halves of a nature reserve, opening a corridor for rare woodland wildlife.
- The quiet atomic trick that keeps gold from ever tarnishingPhysicists at Tulane University find that gold's surface atoms rearrange into a shape that all but blocks oxygen — explaining a shine that lasts for centuries.
- Public backing for climate action is stronger than politicians thinkA study by two German universities finds that elected officials systematically underestimate how many people support effective climate policy — especially where it carries a cost.
- Genes reveal Britain's swallowtail as an ancient survivor — and reshape its rescueWhole-genome sequencing shows the Norfolk butterfly split from continental relatives far earlier than thought, strengthening the case to protect rather than replace it.
- A cell's protein factory, reprogrammed into a decision-making switchA South Korean team's RNA circuit lets a single cell weigh up to six molecular signals at once, edging synthetic biology toward 'living computers.'
- Faster endometriosis answers: NHS backs tests that work in days, not yearsTwo non-invasive tests cleared for the health service could spare women a diagnostic wait that now averages almost a decade.
- Electric aircraft flies transplant-organ cargo across US state lines for the first timeIn a US regulator's trial programme, a battery-powered Beta Technologies plane carried lab-made organ products from Maryland to Virginia — a signal for quieter, lower-emission courier flights.
- A rare fossil goose rewrites how New Zealand's birds evolvedNamed Meterchen luti, an extinct goose from a Miocene lake bed turns out not to be the ancestor of New Zealand's giant geese, pointing to a more turbulent bird history.
- A homegrown catnip lotion matches DEET against malaria mosquitoesIn field trials in eastern Uganda, a cheap lotion made from the herb that delights cats repelled mosquitoes as well as the standard chemical DEET.
- The music industry agrees on unified AI labels for songsGlobal bodies from IFPI to RIAA settle on two voluntary labels – 'AI-Generated' and 'AI-Assisted' – to give listeners clarity and protect human creativity.
- Water squeezed to a single molecular layer loses its orderPhysicists in Manchester have measured for the first time how water's hydrogen-bond network breaks down when it is confined to one molecule thick.
- The more languages you speak, the younger your brain may lookA study of 728 people in Spain's Basque region found that multilingual brains can appear up to 13 years younger than those of people who speak only one language.
- A single back bone reveals Thailand's first long-necked giant dinosaurUragasaurus kalasinensis, a 20-metre plant-eater from 150 million years ago, extends the range of China's famed long-necked dinosaurs into Southeast Asia.
- In Umeå, tropical fish grow on a power plant's waste heatAn EU-funded project in northern Sweden raises shrimp and tilapia in a closed loop – warmed by surplus heat that would otherwise go to waste.
- Physicists measure the electron's space-time limit for the first timeA team in Regensburg and Hamburg has watched how precisely a tunnelling electron's position and timing can be pinned down at once – a result with consequences for chemistry and quantum technology.
- A billion tiny acts of curiosity: online volunteers hit a research milestoneZooniverse says more than three million people have now made one billion classifications, helping scientists spot planets, comets and wildlife.
- Bangladesh opens a solar-powered shelter built for both cyclones and killer heatThe first 'adaptation fortress' in Satkhira doubles as a school and a refuge for a region where 30 million people face worsening storms and 44°C summers.
