After 1,645 Martian days, a suit swatch says Mars dust is smoother—and stickier

Postcard-size suit fabric spent 1,645 Martian days in dust; study finds Mars grit is less abrasive than lunar but ultrafine, electrostatically sticky, and chemi

Soft rock wins the race as shale erodes three times faster—and mountains may breathe out more CO2

UMass-led work finds weaker shale erodes 3x faster than hard rock, shifting sediment sources and implying higher mountain CO2. Tested with 10Be in quartz in a 4

Three signals nudge a human gonad into being—mapped across 33 cell types

Spatial single-cell mapping reveals WNT, BMP and NCAM cues at CS15, 33 cell types, PAX8+ rete cells, two adrenal fetal-zone programs, and male steroidogenesis a

A restoration map the size of Algeria—and a $296 billion sprint to 2030

UN stocktake counts 252m ha restored across 149 countries, over 1m jobs, but funding must rise from $64b to $296b by 2030 as aquatic ecosystems lag.

When the extra groceries stopped, another number rose

Child maltreatment rates rose after COVID-era SNAP emergency allotments ended, in an analysis of 1,153 U.S. counties, with increases building over time.

1,645 Martian days in, Perseverance finds ultrafine Mars dust on suit swatches

Perseverance used onboard suit swatches over 1,645 sols to make the first on-site Mars measurements of fine and ultrafine dust, down to 100–300 nm.

Five silicon qubits share a line—and still hit 99.99%

RIKEN team runs five silicon spin qubits in parallel on a shared microwave line, reaching >99.99% single‑qubit fidelity and ~99.9% with all five, by correcting

Counting condors, counting costs: how a near‑extinct bird spotlights who gets saved — and who decides

From 0 wild birds in 1987 to 300+ returned today, the California condor’s comeback collides with a $200B target, a $1.3T gap, and who gets to decide.

Built from each tumor, an mRNA vaccine plus immunotherapy cut melanoma’s return‑or‑death risk 42%

Phase III intismeran trial reported a 42% relative reduction in melanoma recurrence or death after surgery with immunotherapy; 1,137 patients, ~25 months’ follo

2,884 supernovae hint dark energy isn’t constant

An international team unified 2,884 Type Ia supernovae from 3 decades, adding to independent hints from DES 2024 that dark energy may change over time.
