On February 5, 2026, the MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA’s Terra satellite acquired this image of snow-covered landscapes across Hokkaido. With more than 31 active volcanoes, the island features several large…

Common seal pups communicate in ways that are more similar to humans than previously thought. For instance, they take turns when “speaking” and their calls become increasingly alike when they spend time around each other. This is shown by…

A new study shows that targeting key epigenetic proteins may permanently switch off cancer genes. Scientists at Monash University, working with Harvard University, report they have found a way to permanently ‘switch off’ genes that help…

Mistral AI, the French company last valued at $13.8 billion, has made its first acquisition. The OpenAI competitor has agreed to buy Koyeb, a Paris-based startup that simplifies AI app deployment at scale and manages the infrastructure behind…

Fairy wrens are everywhere. Go anywhere in Australia and there will be at least one local fairy wren. They’re not endangered. In fact, it would be hard to imagine an animal less endangered than fairy wrens. So what do we gain from researching…

The International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) is a prestigious competition featuring talented high school students from around the world, in which competitors solve complicated mathematical problems. Geometry problems from these kinds of…

Researchers at McGill University have improved the efficiency of a method for converting human urine into clean energy. The method employs microbial fuel cells (MFCs), which use bacteria to turn organic waste into electricity, providing a…
