Chemical treatments reshaped luna moth wings—a first experimentally achieved in moths and butterflies—with wider hindwing tails whose response remains unexplained. @floridamuseum

RT @medical_xpress: Blocking immune–tumor signals made glioblastoma less invasive in mice without shrinking it, raising the possibility of containing these brain tumors before surgery.

An “extinct” giant crane was actually a larger common crane, resolving a 150-year-old case of mistaken identity—but why these birds shrank remains unresolved. @RSocPublishing

RT @TechXplore_com: A micro-LED sets a quantum well LED speed record with 2.75-gigahertz optical modulation bandwidth on just 25 milliwatts of power, targeting short-range data center links. @uofigrainger

RT @medical_xpress: Tiny bumps in Fuchs eye disease can contribute to corneal cell death, not just signal damage, as a laboratory model shows.

An ultrathin carbon ribbon conducts like a metal, confirming a prediction from 1996 after the first successful synthesis of ribbons built entirely from five- and seven-carbon rings. @nature

RT @medical_xpress: Nearly 75% of former NFL players who died in 2008–2023 are estimated to have had CTE, a figure that does not predict its prevalence among living players. @BUMedicine @jamanetworkopen

Molecules with boron–oxygen triple bonds have been isolated after a search lasting over 60 years, yielding three stable oxoboranes once thought too unstable to isolate. @uni_wue @NatureChemistry

RT @TechXplore_com: PixelDiT2 gives AI image generation control down to individual pixels while nearly matching the performance of leading latent-space models, allowing edits to target details such as glasses or a car’s color. @UofR @arxiv

RT @medical_xpress: Blocking new neuron production eliminated deep brain stimulation’s memory benefits in Rett syndrome mice, showing that newborn cells were essential to the gains. @BCMHouston @PNASNews

Charcoal at a Neanderthal camp hints at hearth cleaning: a broad northern concentration lies near hearths, while smaller southern clusters often sit outside them.

RT @medical_xpress: Macaque brain cells switched responses between visible and suppressed images about 15 times a second, suggesting conscious vision may depend as much on timing as on brain location. @biorxivpreprint

A warmer-and-cooler pattern across combined galaxy-cluster maps hints at internal gas motions, but rotation and merger-driven flows remain to be distinguished. @physrevlett @arxiv

RT @TechXplore_com: Titanium boosted chromium nitride films’ thermoelectric power factor 250-fold without high-temperature processing—a step toward harvesting waste heat in heat-sensitive devices. @tohoku_univ

RT @medical_xpress: Younger patients’ colorectal tumors have more supporting cells relative to cancer cells in the most common subtype; whether this contributes to more aggressive disease remains unproven. @MassGenBrigham @NatureMedicine

A natural varnish covers parts of Chauvet Cave’s 37,000-year-old drawings, glowing blue under UV light and offering clues to how the artwork may have survived. @ACS_Omega

RT @medical_xpress: Alzheimer’s risk is linked to 127 DNA regions, including 48 not previously mapped in this context, in an analysis of about 2.8 million people. @uniofexeter @nature

Interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS has water-ice signatures resembling icy worlds beyond Neptune rather than most previously studied comets, hinting at shared properties of planetary building blocks. @swri @AAS_Office

RT @TechXplore_com: Judges got better at spotting a chatbot as live chats grew longer across 188 trials, suggesting follow-up questions may offer clues that prepared transcripts miss. @NatureHumBehav

RT @medical_xpress: Tumors grew more slowly in mice with high blood sugar than in insulin-treated diabetic mice, alongside stronger tumor-fighting T cells. @ImmunologyAAI @J_Immunol
