News Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Mouse study
Semaglutide extended median lifespan by about 12% in older female mice, but the study does not show that Ozempic slows human aging.
News Chemistry Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Ultrafast spectroscopy and model-based reconstruction
Physics · Peer reviewed. Ultrafast measurements reconstruct an exciton contracting by about 25%—a new view of light-driven energy transport.
News Astronomy Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Observational study with forward modelling
Astronomy · Peer reviewed. Star formation fell much faster than the universe’s atomic-hydrogen supply, shifting attention from fuel loss to fuel conversion.
News Biology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Human genetic association study
Health · Peer reviewed. Rare-variant sequencing identifies 36 risk genes and shared biology—but does not create a diagnostic test.
News Physics Evidence status: Preprint · Single anomalous event
Physics · Preprint. One high-energy nuclear-recoil candidate survived LZ’s analysis, making it intriguing—but far from a dark-matter discovery.
News AI Evidence status: Preprint · Laboratory bacteriophage study
Biology · Preprint. A 44,000-variant map of bacteriophage ΦX174 exposes mutation effects that leading biological AI models still struggle to predict.
News AI Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Cross-sectional study
A cross-sectional study links emotional-support use of generative AI with youth psychological distress, but it cannot establish cause and effect.
News Astronomy Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Model-based geophysical inference
Sixteen years of spacecraft tracking indicate a much warmer, softer mantle beneath southern Mars, though the temperatures are model-based.
News Anthropology Evidence status: Peer reviewed · Wild-animal kinematic study
Wild sooty mangabeys flex their midfeet by as much as 46 degrees, showing why fossil foot shape alone cannot settle ancient climbing ability.
