Reading for pleasure is sharply down among schoolkids, report shows

Amid a national push to reduce screen time in schools, elementary and middle school students report less of their free time is spent reading.

The share of 9-year-olds — the other age group studied — who read for fun has declined 16 percentage points in the past 13 years.

Mutation-dependent responses to sleep and exercise in clonal haematopoiesis

Abstract Clonal haematopoiesis (CH) activates inflammation and increases the risk of atherosclerosis1,2. Whether lifestyle alters CH clone expansion or the phenotypic programming of CH mutant cells, thereby affecting atherosclerosis, is unknown. Here, in humans and mice and across mutations in Jak2, Tet2, Trp53 and Dnmt3a, we demonstrate mutation-dependent responses to sleep and exercise in CH and show that mutant cells are uniquely sensitive to lifestyle.

Measurement of reactor neutrino oscillation with the first JUNO data

Abstract Neutrino oscillations (see refs. 1,2 and references therein), a quantum effect manifesting at macroscopic scales, are governed by lepton flavour mixing angles and neutrino mass-squared differences3 that are fundamental parameters of particle physics, representing phenomena beyond the Standard Model. Precision measurements of these parameters are essential for testing the completeness of the three-flavour framework, determining the mass ordering of neutrinos and probing possible new...

Diverse binding poses of agonistic neurotoxins on human Na<sub>v</sub>1.6

Abstract Voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels are key targets of various venomous toxins. Deciphering the binding poses and mechanisms of action of representative toxins will help to dissect the functional mechanism of the channels and facilitate therapeutic development targeting Nav channels1,2. Here we present cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures of distinct binding poses of three agonistic peptide toxins on the human Nav1.6–β1 channel complex.

As hot summer, blackouts loom, Iraq looks to solar power

As hot summer, blackouts loom, Iraq looks to solar power June 6, 2026Iraq has long suffered through scorching summers that the country's national grid hasn't been able to keep up with. But it was only recently that Hiba al-Amiri's family started to seriously consider getting solar panels installed at home to compensate for the annual summer blackouts. "In the war, Iranian gas was cut and for four days, we had no electricity," the Baghdad-based teacher told DW.

No, Artificial Intelligence Is Not Conscious

Anthropic is regarded as a giant among AI companies, but perhaps what it really excels in is anthropomorphism. Earlier this year the company released an 84-page document titled Claude’s “constitution,” Claude being the name of the large language model that is the company’s flagship product. The first sentence reads, “Claude’s constitution is a detailed description of Anthropic’s intentions for Claude’s values and behaviors.”
