Why are sloths slow? It's in their DNA
It's in their DNA Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Sloths are the slowest mammals on the planet, but living in dense jungles has made them notoriously difficult to study. For the first time, scientists have now sequenced and analyzed the two-toed sloth genome and revealed the genetics behind its extremely slow metabolism. Building on work initiated at the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW) in Berlin, Germany, researchers at the Wellcome Sanger...
AI and drones can help improve early warning systems for Vibrio bacteria in the Baltic Sea
The presence of the marine bacterium Vibrio vulnificus, which is potentially dangerous to humans, can now be predicted up to five weeks in advance in the Baltic Sea using artificial intelligence (AI). A research team led by the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde (IOW) has reached this conclusion by combining high-resolution environmental, satellite, and microbiome data in an AI-based analysis.
Half-ton early bovines roamed 4-million-year-old grasslands in Europe
Half-ton early bovines roamed 4-million-year-old grasslands in Europe Robert Egan Associate Editor The first large-sized bovines grew to up to half a ton 4 million years ago in the European Early Pliocene, an early step toward our modern diversity of large-bodied buffalo and cattle, according to a study published June 3, 2026, in the open access journal PLOS One by Leonardo Sorbelli of the Leibniz Institute for Evolution and Biodiversity Science, Germany, and colleagues. Bovines are major...
Established farm-business ties may steer agri-start-up ideas toward smaller gains
The Leibniz Center for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), in collaboration with other academic institutions, has published a new study on start-ups in the agricultural sector in the journal Progress in Economic Geography. In it, a research team examines how well so-called agri-start-ups are embedded in existing innovation structures in a region of Lower Saxony that is particularly strongly characterized by agriculture. A key finding: the extent to which innovations from agri-start-ups...
Deep-sea discovery uncovers new family of copepods near Greenland
Deep-sea discovery uncovers new family of copepods near Greenland Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor An international research team, including Dr. Nancy Mercado Salas from the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB), has described a new family of copepods (Copepoda). The discovery was made at a depth of more than 2,500 meters in the Irminger Basin, southeast of Greenland, and provides new insights into the evolution of a group of animals that...
Small Magellanic Cloud is being pulled apart, reshaping how astronomers read its past
Small Magellanic Cloud is being pulled apart, reshaping how astronomers read its past Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Using more than a decade of observations from the VISTA Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC), researchers measured the motions of millions of stars across the Small Magellanic Cloud with unprecedented precision. The new study, published in Astronomy & Astrophysics, provides direct evidence of a galaxy-wide tidal disruption of the Small Magellanic...
Institutions and the transmission of upper-tail human capital: scientific lineages across a millennium
Announce Type: new Abstract: What made useful knowledge cumulative was not discovery alone but the institutions that transmitted it. We provide the first exhaustive structural measurement of the network through which upper-tail human capital passed from master to student across a millennium. Using 470,000 mentor-student records from Wikidata (which integrates the Mathematics Genealogy Project and MacTutor Archive), and all 64 historical Fields Medalists as a fixed, ex ante tracer set,...
Trouble near the Milky Way: The Large Magellanic Cloud is ripping its smaller neighbor galaxy apart
Trouble near the Milky Way: The Large Magellanic Cloud is ripping its smaller neighbor galaxy apart In the gravitational tug of war between the dwarf galaxy siblings, it's the Small Magellanic Cloud that's losing. The Small Magellanic Cloud seems to be coming undone at the gravitational hands of its sibling galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud, which has been found to be unwrapping its little brother's stars. The Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC for short) are two dwarf irregular...
Archaeological sensation: Iron Age Celtic grave discovered in Hesse
During surveys for a solar park in Hesse, archaeologists uncovered a Celtic princely tomb with exceptional grave goods near Bad Camberg, a find of European significance, according to Hesse’s state archaeologist Udo Recker. During construction work for a solar park, a Celtic princely grave has been uncovered for the first time. Experts classify the discovery and the artefacts it yielded as exceptionally significant.
Scientists discover a hidden quantum world inside cobalt
Scientists discover a hidden quantum world inside cobalt - Date: - June 5, 2026 - Source: - Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin - Summary: - Scientists have uncovered unexpected quantum complexity inside cobalt, a metal long thought to be fully understood. Advanced measurements revealed a dense network of topological electronic states that remain robust at room temperature. These states enable extremely fast electron behavior and can be switched or controlled using magnetism.
