Neural Sampling from Cognitive Maps Enables Goal-Directed Imagination and Planning
A new study in Nature Machine Intelligence reports a brain-inspired approach that lets artificial agents “mentally simulate” routes and actions using internal maps of the...
Dietary environmental impacts vary with socio-demographic characteristics and food quality
A new global analysis is challenging the idea that dietary change can be modeled with one-size-fits-all averages. Researchers report that climate, water, and land burdens...
Quantitative Study Maps Polyolefin Hydrogenolysis for Plastic Waste Management
A new study is set to change how researchers measure catalytic upcycling of polyolefin plastic waste, by insisting that every hydrocarbon produced during deconstruction must...
Voxel-Scale Diffusion Tensor Imaging Maps Healthy and Pressure-Overloaded Heart
A new study is shining a microscope-sized flashlight into the heart’s inner architecture, using a technique that maps tissue mechanics at the voxel scale. The...
Nonreproductive Tumor Progression Disrupts Ovarian Function via CXCL10–IL18R1 Signaling
A new study from researchers in 2026 reports that tumor progression can disrupt ovarian function even when tumors are not reproductive in origin. Published in...
HDAC6 Serves as Biomarker for B-ALL Dissemination and Relapse
HDAC6, a cytoplasmic deacetylase best known for shaping cell stress responses, is emerging as an unusually informative flag in blood cancer. In a new study...
Kogakuin and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad launch research on multifunctional energy glass-ceramics
Kogakuin University in Japan and IIT (ISM) Dhanbad in India have launched a joint research initiative aimed at advancing next-generation multifunctional glass-ceramic materials for energy...
Discovering what shapes white blood cells may enable new cancer therapies
In leukemia’s most aggressive settings, bone marrow–resident blood-cell factories fail to complete normal maturation. Instead of rapidly generating mature immune cells, immature progenitors stall, expanding...
Can sparkling water be gentler on your teeth than other drinks?
Sparkling water is often positioned as a soda alternative, but a new experimental study suggests the details matter: unsweetened sparkling water appears to reduce mouth...
Time-Restricted Eating May Help Preserve Cognitive Function in Older Adults
National Harbor, Md. (July 26, 2026)—A small pilot trial suggests that compressing the daily eating window may help lower dementia risk, beyond the cognitive effects...
Maize likely central to ancient Maya diets, study of bones and teeth suggests
Maize was probably more than just a staple for many Classic Maya communities in southeastern Petén, Guatemala, according to a new study that uses stable...
T-Cell Engagers: Balancing Activity and Safety in Engineering Designs
T-cell engagers (TCEs) are rapidly becoming a powerful immunotherapy platform, showing meaningful clinical responses across multiple tumor types. Yet their broad deployment is limited by...
Low-Temperature Oxide-Ion Conduction Discovered in Aurivillius-Phase Sodium Bismuth Tin Oxides
Solid oxide fuel cells and other high-temperature electrochemical devices rely on fast oxide-ion conductors, yet most candidates only become truly mobile well above 500 °C. That...
Structure Reveals How Trypanosome Mitochondria Coordinate RNA Editing Cascade
Trypanosome mitochondria rely on an RNA-editing process that rewrites transcripts through precisely timed uridine deletions and insertions, guided by complementary RNAs. For decades, researchers have...
