'Extra special' tamarin twins born at zoo
Shaldon Wildlife Trust says it is one of two European zoos to breed the species in 2026.
Toby Kiers, biologist: "Fungi can teach us how to make decisions otherwise"
The youngest scientist to receive the Tyler Prize, the informal Nobel Prize for the Environment, explains the role of fungi in the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Reduced in the popular imaginary to the edible, pathogens and psychedelic, she claims them as the great forgotten of science
The Z generation discovers the cards with science clubs: "You can be at your ball and run away from the 'infinite scroll"
Many young people find themselves in epistolar groups created around the issues they like the first reason for their lives to be waiting for the mailbox. Waiting for the missiva brings you sosiego in a digitized world
Over 1,000 tonnes of sewage seen at landfill site
The Environment Agency says it has issued the operator with a series of actions after an inspection.
Drugs that come after Ozempec: seek to thwart more, lose less muscle and avoid bounce effect
A review in 'Science' reviews the new generation of drugs against obesity. It also warns that the patents of semaglutide generics will delay their arrival in Spain until 2031, although they are already sold in India and Brazil.

Scientists discover mysterious “lonely” brain waves linked to memory loss
Scientists have uncovered a surprising link between Alzheimer’s-related protein buildup, disrupted brain waves during deep sleep, and fading memory. The findings suggest that hidden changes in how the brain processes memories overnight may contribute to age-related memory loss long before Alzheimer’s symptoms appear.
A tiny supercurrent could unlock quantum information without destroying it
Researchers have proposed a breakthrough technique for reading quantum information without destroying the delicate states that make quantum computers work. By detecting an electrical signal generated by the qubit itself, their method achieved up to 99.85% accuracy in simulations and could make future quantum computers simpler and more efficient.
Scientists turn viruses into weapons against deadly superbugs
Scientists are advancing a promising new way to fight antibiotic-resistant infections by using viruses that specifically target and kill harmful bacteria. An international team has released the first coordinated guidelines for personalized phage therapy, offering a roadmap for safely bringing this experimental treatment into clinical practice. Early findings are encouraging, with one study reporting improvement in 77% of patients and the disappearance of targeted bacteria in 61%.

400,000-year-old teeth reveal a stunning twist in human evolution
A groundbreaking discovery is rewriting the story of human evolution, revealing that an ancient human species once thought to be an evolutionary dead end may have left genetic traces in people alive today. By extracting proteins from 400,000-year-old Homo erectus teeth discovered in China, scientists uncovered evidence suggesting that these early humans interbred with Denisovans, another mysterious ancient human group. That genetic connection may have eventually reached modern populations in the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, and other parts of Southeast Asia.
A clever molecular trick unlocks previously impossible properties in glass
Scientists have discovered how to reprogram the internal structure of glass using a special molecule that rearranges chemical bonds while lowering the melting temperature. The breakthrough could unlock entirely new glass materials with precisely controlled magnetic and optical properties, opening possibilities for advanced electronics, sensors, and other technologies.
Scientists discover that a clogged filter could revolutionize oil refining
Scientists have developed a remarkable new membrane that separates crude oil at room temperature, using the oil itself to create microscopic filtration channels. The breakthrough could cut refining energy consumption by nearly 32%, carbon emissions by almost 38%, and operating costs by 36%, potentially transforming one of the world's most energy-intensive industries.
