Dear olivier hartmanshenn,
Here is your customized Science X Newsletter for week 37:
![]() | Advanced underwater technology reveals a new species of deep-sea snailfishMBARI's advanced underwater technology is revealing the remarkable species that thrive in the deep sea. In 2019, MBARI researchers encountered an unfamiliar pink snailfish swimming just above the seafloor. New research from MBARI collaborators has confirmed this individual represents a species previously unknown to science: the bumpy snailfish (Careproctus colliculi). |
![]() | Blood test identifies HPV-associated head and neck cancers up to 10 years before symptomsHuman papillomavirus (HPV) causes around 70% of head and neck cancers in the United States, making it the most common cancer caused by the virus, with rates increasing each year. Unlike cervical cancers caused by HPV, there is no screening test for HPV-associated head and neck cancers. This means that patients are usually diagnosed after a tumor has grown to billions of cells in size, causing symptoms and spreading to lymph nodes. Screening methods that can detect these cancers much earlier could mean earlier treatment interventions for patients. |
![]() | Multiple new specimens of 'living fossil' fish found hiding in plain sight after more than 150 yearsThe modern coelacanth is a famous "living fossil," long thought to have died out, but first fished out of deep waters in the Indian Ocean in 1938. Since then, dozens of examples have been found, but their fossil history is patchy. |
![]() | Medications leave lasting mark on gut microbiome, even years after useMedications taken years ago can continue to shape the human gut microbiome, according to a large-scale study from the University of Tartu Institute of Genomics. |
![]() | Chronic alcohol use halts liver cell regeneration, new study findsExcessive alcohol consumption can disrupt the liver's unique regenerative abilities by trapping cells in limbo between their functional and regenerative states, even after a patient stops drinking, researchers at University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and collaborators at Duke University and the Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Chicago describe in a new study. |
![]() | First-ever complete measurement of a black-hole recoil achieved thanks to gravitational wavesA team of researchers led by the Instituto Galego de Física de Altas Enerxías (IGFAE) from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain) has measured for the first time the speed and direction of the recoil of a newborn black hole formed through the merger of two others. The result, published today in the journal Nature Astronomy, offers new insights into some of the most extreme events in the universe. |
![]() | How evolution explains autism rates in humansA paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that the relatively high rate of autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in the past. The paper is titled "A general principle of neuronal evolution reveals a human accelerated neuron type potentially underlying the high prevalence of autism in humans." |
![]() | Physicists demonstrate controlled expansion of quantum wavepacket in a levitated nanoparticleQuantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also have wave-like properties. These properties can be represented using the wave function, a mathematical description of quantum systems that delineates a particle's movements and the probability that it is in a specific position. |
![]() | Mysterious 'red dots' in early universe may be 'black hole star' atmospheresTiny red objects spotted by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are offering scientists new insights into the origins of galaxies in the universe—and may represent an entirely new class of celestial object: a black hole swallowing massive amounts of matter and spitting out light. |
![]() | Ultra-flat optic pushes beyond what was previously thought possibleCameras are everywhere. For over two centuries, these devices have grown increasingly popular and proven to be so useful, they have become an indispensable part of modern life. |
![]() | Squishy 'smart cartilage' could target arthritis pain as soon as flareups beginResearchers have developed a material that can sense tiny changes within the body, such as during an arthritis flareup, and release drugs exactly where and when they are needed. |
![]() | Q&A: What is 'gray rocking' and why is it trending?Have you heard of "gray rocking?" |
![]() | Beer drinkers are mosquito magnets, according to a festival studyIt's a familiar scene for many of us. A warm summer evening, a gentle breeze and then the inevitable high-pitched whine of a mosquito buzzing near your ear. For some, this is a fleeting annoyance, but for others, it means a night of endlessly scratching itchy welts. Some people are simply mosquito magnets while others emerge relatively unscathed. But why is this so? One explanation, according to scientists from the Netherlands, is beer. |
![]() | Measuring the Unruh effect: Proposed approach could bridge gap between general relativity and quantum mechanicsResearchers at Hiroshima University have developed a realistic, highly sensitive method to detect the Unruh effect—a long-predicted phenomenon at the crossroads of relativity and quantum theory. Their novel approach opens new possibilities for exploring fundamental physics and for developing advanced technologies. |
![]() | Scientists respond to the planned termination of the only U.S. Antarctic research vesselOn July 28, 170 researchers sent a letter to the National Science Foundation (NSF) and Congress after NSF's 2026 budget request included plans to end its lease of a U.S. research vessel in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica. |
![]() | Chemists weigh in on hydrogen waterA recent column on hydrogen water brought a well-deserved slap on the wrist from two experts. |
![]() | Scientist returns to microbial roots and discovers potential quantum computing advancementDuring his Ph.D. at UMass, Nikhil Malvankar was laser-focused on quantum mechanics and the movement of electrons in superconductors. Now a professor at Yale, the native of Mumbai, India, has pivoted toward biology to explain how bacteria breathe deep underground without the aid of oxygen. |
![]() | An exploding black hole could reveal the foundations of the universePhysicists have long believed that black holes explode at the end of their lives, and that such explosions happen—at most—only once every 100,000 years. But new research published in Physical Review Letters by physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst has found a more than 90% probability that one of these black-hole explosions might be seen within the decade, and that, if we are prepared, our current fleet of space and earthbound telescopes could witness the event. |
![]() | Discovery of new moon or ring system orbiting mysterious distant planet QuaoarAstronomers have discovered what they think may be another moon orbiting a distant dwarf planet called Quaoar. This small, icy, egg-shaped planet in the far reaches of our solar system, beyond Neptune, is already known to have two rings and a moon, but this discovery was unexpected and accidental. |
![]() | Physicists devise an idea for lasers that shoot beams of neutrinosAt any given moment, trillions of particles called neutrinos are streaming through our bodies and every material in our surroundings, without noticeable effect. Smaller than electrons and lighter than protons, these ghostly entities are the most abundant particles with mass in the universe. |
