A new language model for genetics could help researchers trace evolutionary history in minutes instead of hours or days. The AI tool analyses DNA mutation patterns to estimate shared ancestry, offering a faster route to studying evolution, disease resistance and insecticide-resistant mosquitoes.

Octopuses are remarkably intelligent creatures, as was demonstrated by Inky the Octopus's famous escape from the National Aquarium of New Zealand through a drainpipe back to sea in 2016.

Researchers have developed a new worm model that has the potential to treat a rare genetic disease that causes paralysis in children and worsens with age. Currently, the disease has no cure or effective treatments.

A study in Spain and Japan suggests that people tend to turn counterclockwise when moving in groups, regardless of culture, gender or handedness. The finding could offer new insights into human locomotion, crowd dynamics and the design of public spaces.

New research has found that swapping steak for salmon once a week significantly reduced food-related carbon emissions by 28 % in the long-term, this is equivalent of a return flight from London Heathrow to Marrakech, Morocco.

A new study made use of the earthquake model and found out that stresses in the crust are higher today than at any time in the last millennium. It also warns that a critical fault junction near Los Angeles could determine the scale of the next major quake.

A new study links regular egg consumption among adults aged 65 and older with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Researchers found the strongest association among those eating at least five eggs per week.

Micro- and nanoplastics have already been detected in human and animal livers. Researchers at the University of Plymouth are now investigating whether these particles could contribute to inflammation, fibrosis and the global rise in liver disease — and are calling for closer cooperation between environmental and health research.

Why did mollusks survive Earth’s largest mass extinction while many brachiopods disappeared? A Stanford-led study links the unequal losses to differences in metabolic tolerance, showing how rapidly warming, oxygen-poor oceans reshaped marine life 252 million years ago.

Experiments with rodents show that metabolic dysfunction is “transmitted” to offspring through molecules present in sperm, causing them to become pre-diabetic. This phenomenon is reversible through weight loss before conception
