A DNA clock trained on fifteen captive crown-of-thorns seastars of five known ages missed their true age by 0.31 years on average
1+ day, 7+ hour ago (691+ words) The Pacific coral-eating seastar now has a 14-site methylation clock built from tank-reared animals aged one to three and a half years. By Lab Report · Edited by Chris Jeremia Published September 12, 2026 · How we edit Crown-of-thorns seastars eat coral. On the…...
Blueberry seeds pulled out of five wolf scats in northern Minnesota germinated at 96 percent against 69 percent for seeds taken straight from the fruit, and half of them had sprouted by day 19 rather than day 26
1+ day, 9+ hour ago (721+ words) The difference is real and the size of it is not settled: measured against the best of the study's three control batches, the advantage shrinks from 27 percentage points to five. By Natural History · Edited by Chris Jeremia Published September 12, 2026 · How…...
Microbiology students are taught to work inside a sterile zone beside a lit Bunsen burner, and when a Rhode Island team set paired Petri dishes either side of a lab bench the plates beside the lit flame collected no fewer settling bacteria than those beside an unlit one — and with a standard 18 millimetre flame and dry airborne particles, below about 83 colonies a minute the flame was associated with more
2+ day, 13+ hour ago (545+ words) The claim appears in textbooks, in peer-reviewed publications and on university-affiliated websites, and a commentary asked where its evidence was thirty years ago.

Slime mould has no brain, no neurons and no central control, yet when scientists placed food at 36 locations matching cities around Tokyo, it grew a network strikingly similar to the rail system — with comparable efficiency, cost and resilience
4+ day, 6+ hour ago (462+ words) A single-celled organism with no brain solved a transportation puzzle that took human engineers decades to perfect. Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit A brainless yellow blob spread across a wet plate in a Japanese lab and, meaning nothing by it,…...
In a 2013 experiment, 20 of 24 radiologists missed a gorilla deliberately inserted into a chest CT scan while searching for nodules — eye tracking showed that 12 of those who missed it had looked straight at the animal hiding inside the image.
4+ day, 7+ hour ago (943+ words) A 2013 CT experiment showed that expert readers could look directly at an unexpected gorilla without reporting it. The finding concerns attention, not a clinical cancer-miss rate. By Mind & Matter · Edited by Lachlan Brown Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit Twenty of…...

After an FDA amicus brief counted allulose as sugar, the 7th Circuit revived a Chobani Zero Sugar suit over 4 grams of allulose per serving and helped trigger a wave of allulose “zero sugar” class actions

Over roughly 150 years, Dutch men gained about 20 centimetres in average height, while American men — who had started 5 to 8 centimetres taller — gained only about six, reversing one of the most remarkable national height gaps ever recorded.
6+ day, 23+ hour ago (1180+ words) America began the nineteenth-century comparison several centimetres ahead. Military records and modern surveys show how the Netherlands reversed that gap, and why no single cause explains it.
