Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), astronomers have performed large-scale radio observations of a star-forming region known as the Chamaeleon cloud complex. The observational campaign, which detected five young stars in Chamaeleon, may shed more light on the properties of this complex. The findings were detailed in a paper published June 19 on the arXiv pre-print server.
Anxiety, the psychological and physiological state characterized by an anticipation of potential threats and a heightened sense of vigilance, is regularly experienced by many humans worldwide. Research suggests that anxiety is a behavioral consequence of stress, designed to "prepare" humans for uncertainty and risky situations.

What stands out most about the book I'm carrying under my arm, as I meander through the exhibits at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall in Falmouth, is its awkwardly large size. The Piscatorial Atlas, authored by Ole Theodor Olsen and published in 1883, contains 50 beautifully illustrated charts of the seas around Great Britain. These show the locations exploited at that time for a variety of fish species, alongside the typical vessels or fishing gear used. This information was collated from fishermen in the decade before the atlas was published.

Glow Up Scientists have some exciting news: your brain is likely glowing, whether you can see it or not. The news comes from researchers at the Algoma University in Ontario, who found evidence that the human brain, of all things, posses bioluminescent properties. Essentially, they found that as the brain metabolizes energy, it releases super faint traces of visible light. Called ultra weak photon emissions (UPEs), the flashes of light are emitted when electrons break down and lose momentum, letting go of their protons. As Popular Mechanics notes, UPEs don't technically count as bioluminescence, a chemical process found in organisms like fireflies [...]

Google, as the world's biggest search company, will [...]
Quasars provide some of the most spectacular light shows in the universe. However, they are typically exceedingly rare since they are caused by massive astrophysical forces that don’t happen very often. So it came as quite a surprise when scientists found a group of 11 of them hanging on in the same general area, in what appeared to be equivalent to the galactic countryside. A new paper from Yongming Liang and their co-authors at the University of Tokyo describes this finding, which they dubbed the Cosmic Himalayas, and some of the weird astronomical circumstances that place the discovery in context.

Yale University ecologists reveal a lizard lineage that rode out the dinosaur-killing asteroid event with unexpected evolutionary survival traits. Night lizards (family Xantusiidae) survived the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event 66 million years ago (formerly known as the K-T extinction) despite having small broods and occupying limited ranges, a departure from the theory of how other species are thought to have persisted in the aftermath of the event.
The virus killed at least 20 million people, wiped at least $10 trillion from the global economy and upended billions of lives.

The challenge of building habitats on the Moon is considerable, mainly because most additive manufacturing (aka. 3-D printing) techniques are not feasible. By utilizing a 3-D printing method known as light-based sintering, future missions to the Moon could manufacture bricks out of lunar regolith, rather than trying to build whole structures. This would facilitate a long-term human presence on the lunar surface, consistent with the Artemis Program and other plans for lunar exploration and development.

Orientation is more important than most people thing when it comes to sensing. A common example would be when the lasers of a garage door are mis-aligned, forcing the door to remain open until they are brought back in line. But when it comes to scientific sensors, orientation is even more important. So it was with great fanfare that NASA announced a new way to orient sensors on one of the most venerable of its spacecraft - the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) - and the resultant scientific discoveries it enabled.

Megan Garcia, a Florida mother whose oldest child, 14-year-old Sewell Setzer III, died by suicide after extensive interactions with unregulated AI chatbots, is calling on lawmakers to slash a controversial provision in the Trump Administration's "Big, Beautiful Bill" that blocks states from passing any AI regulation for the next ten years. In a letter sent to Florida Senator Ashley Moody, Garcia urges that the sweeping AI provision would leave millions of American families "unprotected from the harms AI poses" by eliminating pathways for accountability for AI companies, an industry that, as it stands, is already effectively self-regulating. In October 2024, [...]
Parental egg-care in fish traps them in an evolutionary dead-end through the loss of the chorion-hardening system, according to scientists from the Institute of Science Tokyo. Fish have diverse egg-caring strategies that have independently emerged multiple times across lineages. Comparative whole genome analyses of 240 fish species revealed a strong correlation between loss of the chorion-hardening system and parental egg-care, revealing the mechanisms behind the evolutionary bias that restricts egg-caring fish from becoming non-egg-carers.
In recent years, special wash-down areas have been built in marinas to reduce the environmental problems caused by boat bottom paints. An analysis of Hinsholmskilen by the University of Gothenburg shows that the levels of metals in the seabed were highest closest to the wash-down areas, but also that two invasive amoebas have moved in.

What processes during the formation of Pluto’s largest moon, Charon, potentially led to it having cryovolcanism, and even an internal ocean? This is what a recent study presented at the 56th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the formation and evolution of Charon to ascertain whether it once possessed an internal ocean during its history and if this could have led to cryovolcanism based on images obtained by NASA’s New Horizons probe.
The Sun and its planets formed out of the solar nebula, around 4.6 billion years ago. But what was the delay between the Sun's formation and the planets? Astronomers have surveyed 78 protoplanetary disks in the Ophiuchus star-forming region and seen examples of every step in the planetary formation process. They found that the planets start forming much earlier than previously believed, when the disk is still filled with gas and dust, growing together with their host stars.

Calibration is a necessary, if typically invisible, step in the successful operation of any scientific telescope. Without a known value to compare its readings against, data from telescopes could suffer from biases or transients that could completely misdirect scientists analyzing it. However, those same scientists also struggle to find good sources of data to calibrate against. Enter Arcstone - a technology demonstration mission that launched earlier this week that plans to use one particular source as a calibration dataset - moonlight.
