Juvenile striped bass maintaining average abundance in Virginia waters in 2026

Preliminary results from an ongoing long-term survey conducted by William & Mary's Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) suggest that an average year class of young-of-year striped bass was produced in the Virginia tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay in 2026. Striped bass are an important top predator in the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem and a valuable resource for commercial and recreational anglers. The 2026 year class, representing fish hatched this spring, will reach fishable sizes in three to four years.

Nanoscale tech tracks proteins inside living neurons to guide Alzheimer's and Parkinson's drug discovery

A technology developed at The University of Queensland allowing scientists to observe how disease-related proteins behave inside living neurons will be used to advance early drug discovery for neurodegenerative diseases. The NASTIC (Nanoscale Spatiotemporal Indexing Clustering) platform, spun out into Brisbane-based startup Accretion Bio, enables researchers to study real-time biological processes in living cells across space and time at the single-molecule level for the first time.

Why painful arthritis can return stronger after cancer treatment

Researchers discovered that recurring arthritis triggered by cancer immunotherapy may be driven by immune cells that remember previous attacks and return in a more aggressive state. The findings could pave the way for treatments that prevent painful flare-ups while preserving the immune system's ability to fight cancer.

Molecular switch controls how cells load cargo for recycling

Cells constantly recycle proteins and other cellular components. But how do they ensure that the right cargo ends up in the right recycling vesicle—one of the cell's transport carriers? A team at the University of Basel has identified a molecular switch that controls this process. The small protein ARF-1 ensures that recyclable cargo is efficiently loaded into transport vesicles and returned to the cell's surface.

Criminal justice researchers use statistical modeling to examine wrongful-conviction risk

A University of Mississippi study is adding nuance to a debate over how often police interrogation tactics can produce false confessions leading to wrongful convictions. In a recent simulation study published in the Journal of Criminal Justice, Ole Miss criminal justice and legal studies professors Mary Catlin and Thomas Bryan Smith found that the predicted likelihood of a false confession grows with the length of a police interrogation.

Planetary 'twins' Uranus and Neptune may have different origin stories

By indirectly probing the depths of Uranus and Neptune's atmospheres, an international team of scientists has revealed a significant contrast in their chemical composition. Neptune appears to be more enriched in oxygen than Uranus. These results suggest that the two ice giants may have formed in different regions of the primitive solar system before reaching their current orbits, calling into question the idea of a common origin for these two planets, often considered twins.

Researchers unlock new way to map molecular structure on surfaces

Scientists at NPL, with the University of Surrey, University of Oxford, the Francis Crick Institute and IONTOF GmbH, have developed a technique to distinguish and map molecules that share the same chemical formula and mass but have different structures and functions. The research is published today (Oct. 19) in Nature Communications.

Who speaks for Mars? Scientists call for ethical debate before terraforming begins

Transforming Mars into a more Earth-like world could irreversibly destroy scientific evidence about the planet's history and the possibility of extraterrestrial life. In an opinion article published in Eos, a team of Dutch, French and U.S. planetary scientists and ethicists warns that humanity risks destroying Mars' scientific record before it has been fully explored.

Synthetic molecules self-assemble into triple helices with new control method

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland, have developed a new strategy for programming synthetic molecules to self-assemble into precisely defined three-dimensional structures. The study brings scientists a step closer to achieving the sophisticated molecular organization found in nature and could eventually open new possibilities for the development of advanced functional materials.

Birds are among Earth's most important nutrient movers

Birds play an outsized, underappreciated role in shaping Earth's chemistry, distributing nutrients across oceans, forests and coral reefs and sustaining life far beyond the nest. Researchers from Cornell and five other institutions reviewed nearly 400 scientific papers to show how birds transport nutrients from land, lake and sea through their waste and bodies. This influences everything from soil and water chemistry to plant and animal growth. The work was published Oct. 19 in Current Biology.

The hidden global market behind recycling revealed

Recycling may happen far from the place where waste is produced. Paper, metals, plastics and glass discarded in one country can be shipped across the world and used as raw materials in another. This international market is a major part of today's circular economy, yet it is often overlooked when national recycling policies are designed.
