Doubts cast over 'wild' claim that magnetic control can turn on genes

A headline-grabbing magnetic gene-control claim is running into serious skepticism

Researchers claim electromagnetic signals can activate genes inside cells.
Critics say the result is implausible and have identified apparent issues in the paper.
Independent replication is now the central test of whether the claim holds.

Scientists restore memory by blocking a single Alzheimer’s protein

Blocking PTP1B restored memory in mice, opening a new Alzheimer’s research path

Researchers say blocking PTP1B improved learning and memory in mice.
The study links PTP1B inhibition to better microglial clearance of amyloid-beta.
PTP1B is also associated with diabetes and obesity, both Alzheimer’s risk factors.

Scientists just discovered Africa is closer to breaking apart than we thought

East Africa's Turkana Rift May Be Far Closer to Continental Breakup Than Expected

Researchers say the Turkana Rift crust is thinner than previously recognized.
The study identifies an advanced necking stage associated with continental breakup.
The same tectonic setting may help explain the region's unusually rich fossil preservation.

Cars submerged in flood water with New York City in the background

New flood risk index puts New York at the top of East Coast exposure

A new index found eight East Coast cities at high or very high risk of extreme flood damage.
New York City had the largest absolute number of exposed people and buildings.
The study says 4.4 million people in New York could be exposed to extreme damage.

New research argues the energy transition cannot treat citizens as a procedural checkbox

The candidate text says citizen participation is widely seen as key to a successful energy transition.
It also says participation often remains more of an ideal than a reality in practice.
The research is identified as a PhD project at TU/e by Nikki Kluskens.

The rise, the fall and the rebound of cyclic cosmology

Cyclic Cosmology Is Back in the Conversation as New Data Reopens an Old Question

Cyclic cosmology proposes that the universe expands, collapses and begins again.
The idea had fallen out of favor but is gaining renewed attention.
New discussion is being driven in part by DESI’s large-scale mapping of the universe.

EV car

Electric Vehicles Could Become Grid Assets, and Owners Could Get Paid for It

A Delaware pilot monitored four Ford EVs providing power back to the grid through 2025.
Each EV could have earned as much as $3,359 annually at market prices.
Vehicle-to-grid remains limited mainly because of technical and industry coordination challenges.

Grand Canyon origin debate gets a boost from evidence of a late Miocene Colorado River in the Bidahochi basin

The paper title says late Miocene Colorado River arrival in the Bidahochi basin supports a spillover origin of the Grand Canyon.
The available source text is limited to title and citation metadata, so the interpretation here stays close to that wording.
The study appears to add new timing evidence to a long-running geological debate over canyon formation.

Study probes how sanctioned elites may shape authoritarian realignment

A new study examines how sanctioned elites may influence authoritarian realignment.
The research is framed against rising geopolitical tensions, political polarization and trade conflicts.
Its focus suggests sanctions may have broader strategic effects than immediate economic pressure alone.

Illustration of a black hole with bent jets pulling stellar material away from a giant blue star

Cygnus X-1’s ‘Dancing’ Jets Measured at Half the Speed of Light

Astronomers measured the jets of Cygnus X-1 by mapping their wobble.
The outflows were found to travel at about half the speed of light.
Stellar winds from the black hole’s companion star helped reveal the jets’ motion.
