Read More 2026-06-10 The Giant Scorpion Revealed: Praearcturus gigas Unmasked Researchers confirm Praearcturus gigas as a giant Early Devonian scorpion. New imaging and fossil comparisons reveal its enormous pincers, mixed aquatic-terrestrial lifestyle, and implications for early land ecosystems.
Read More 2026-06-10 Silting Crisis: Half the World's Reservoirs Fail by 2060 A global study finds sedimentation could render more than half of the world's reservoirs functionally dead by 2060, threatening water supplies, irrigation and infrastructure. Solutions require watershed restoration and engineering.
Read More 2026-06-10 Molecular Water Armor: Fabrics That Clean with Water Scientists developed an ultrathin polymer coating that organizes water into a 'molecular armor' on fabrics, allowing common stains to wash away with plain water and cutting laundry water and energy by over 82 percent.
Read More 2026-06-10 When Your Cat Roams: Hidden Risks to Health and Wildlife Outdoor-roaming cats can carry and transport nearly 100 zoonotic pathogens. New synthesis of 400+ studies shows roaming pets raise human and wildlife health risks—practical steps and One Health strategies to reduce transmission.
Read More 2026-06-10 Two Cancer Drugs Reversed Alzheimer’s Signs in Mice Researchers found that two FDA-approved cancer drugs, letrozole and irinotecan, reduced tau aggregates and improved memory in mouse models of Alzheimer’s, suggesting a promising drug-repurposing strategy tied to gene-expression signatures.
Read More 2026-06-09 Hail Is Shifting Poleward and Growing More Dangerous New research shows hail-prone conditions shifting toward higher latitudes and a tilt toward fewer small but more damaging hailstones, raising risks for infrastructure and agriculture in many regions.
