The Y chromosome is home to surprising jumping genes

The Y chromosome is home to surprising jumping genes Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The humble Y chromosome may be the smallest chromosome in the mammalian genome (and getting even smaller), but it is mighty: Genes on the Y chromosome are critical for fertility in males. In a new study in the journal Current Biology, researchers at the University of Michigan Medical School have studied deer mice to outline how the Y chromosome defends itself against decay by...

Bees can swim and use visual cues to survive water crashes

Bees can swim and use visual cues to survive water crashes Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor When a bee crashes into water, it may still be able to swim to safety. New research from Michigan State University confirms that honeybees can propel themselves across the water's surface, and their movement is purposeful and directional. They swim toward darker areas—likely using visual cues to locate the shoreline and escape.

Hair-size microrobots combine three cancer-fighting functions in preclinical animal tests

Hair-size microrobots combine three cancer-fighting functions in preclinical animal tests Gaby Clark Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor Imagine a future where cancer treatment affects only the tumor, where eye injections are no longer required and brain surgeries don't result in large incisions or long recovery times. That's the future researchers at Michigan State University are working toward. Their goal is to make medical care easier on patients by using tiny biodegradable tools...

Egypt fossils show modern ocean fish rose rapidly after dinosaur extinction

Egypt fossils show modern ocean fish rose rapidly after dinosaur extinction Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor The extinction that ended the Age of Dinosaurs is best known for clearing the way for the Age of Mammals on land. Scientists have long suspected that the same catastrophe also transformed life in the seas, opening ecological space for the rise of modern marine fish faunas. Yet the timing and geography of that transition have remained uncertain because of the...

SWOT satellite gets clearer ocean data after fix for hidden underwater wave interference

SWOT satellite gets clearer ocean data after fix for hidden underwater wave interference Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Florida State University research published in Science Advances demonstrates a new framework for predicting the motion of kilometer-scale underwater waves that complicate satellite readings of the ocean. By accurately modeling these subsurface waves, scientists can remove their interference from NASA's Surface Water and Ocean Topography, or...

Cancer’s favorite escape trick may actually make it easier to kill

Cancer’s favorite escape trick may actually make it easier to kill - Date: - June 4, 2026 - Source: - Baylor College of Medicine - Summary: - Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way the immune system fights cancer, overturning a core belief that has guided immunology for decades. The research found that when cancer cells shut down a key immune-recognition molecule called MHC I—a common trick used to hide from “killer” T cells—they can actually become more vulnerable to attack by a...

100 days into Iran war, Americans face higher prices

100 days into Iran war, Americans face higher prices On average, US households have spent $750 more in expenses due to the war, hitting middle- and lower-income people hard. A hundred days into the US-Israel war on Iran, Americans are facing increasing financial pressure at the pump and at the grocery store in an economy already facing headwinds from United States President Donald Trump’s domestic and foreign policies, including tariffs. The war is unpopular, with 66 percent of Americans...

'From STEM to earn': High school programs aimed at diversifying the field drive gains in college, salaries

'From STEM to earn': High school programs aimed at diversifying the field drive gains in college, salaries Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor High school students participating in pipeline programs aimed at increasing diversity in STEM fields are more likely to enroll in—and graduate from—elite colleges with a related degree. In addition, such improvements raised their predicted earnings by anywhere from 3% to 15%, according to a study co-authored by a University of...
