- 2Uruguay researchers get paper accepted on glass characterisation●Nos aceptaron un paper sobre caracterización de vidrios con dinámica molecular, donde los cálculos los hicimos en el clu
Researchers in Uruguay announced that a paper on the characterisation of glasses using molecular dynamics has been accepted for publication. The calculations were run on the computing cluster at CURE, part of the University of the Republic, and it will be the first published work to come out of that facility. The team expressed strong pride in the achievement.
- 3Researchers Say NIH Censors Alzheimer's and Kidney Disease Studies●# NIH # Censors Crucial # Research in Alzheimer's, # Kidney Disease, and More, Researchers Share # health # medical # me
The ACLU reports that researchers say the National Institutes of Health is censoring crucial research in Alzheimer's disease, kidney disease and other medical fields. Affected scientists describe pressure to alter or withhold work, raising concerns about political interference in publicly funded health research and its consequences for patients and scientific progress.
- 4Namibia merges ocean science with Indigenous knowledge for climate resilience▼Bridging ocean science and Indigenous knowledge for climate resilience in Namibia
UNESCO is highlighting efforts in Namibia to combine formal ocean science with Indigenous knowledge systems as a way to strengthen climate resilience in coastal communities. The initiative points to growing recognition that traditional ecological knowledge can complement scientific monitoring of changing oceans, helping local populations adapt to shifts in fisheries, weather patterns and coastal conditions.
- 5UC Davis Profile: A Lifelong Fascination with Fish●Among the Academies: A Lifelong Fascination with Fish
UC Davis College of Biological Sciences has published a profile piece titled 'Among the Academies: A Lifelong Fascination with Fish', exploring a researcher's enduring career devoted to studying fish. The feature highlights the scientist's path into ichthyology and their work within scientific academies. It forms part of the college's ongoing coverage of faculty research and the people behind biological sciences at UC Davis.
- 6Ukraine's Academy of Sciences warns against Russian research cooperation▼Ukraine’s Academy of Sciences warns against Russian cooperation after attack
Ukraine's National Academy of Sciences has issued a warning against scientific cooperation with Russia, following an attack on the country. The academy is urging Ukrainian researchers to cut institutional ties with Russian counterparts. The appeal underscores how the war continues to divide the international scientific community, with research collaboration with Russia increasingly seen as unacceptable by Ukrainian institutions.

Researchers report generating quasicrystalline patterns in water waves, bringing the geometry famously seen in solid materials into fluid dynamics. Work on quasicrystals earned the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and reproducing their aperiodic order in waves rather than atomic lattices is a striking demonstration. Physicists are discussing what the finding reveals about wave interference and whether similar ordered-but-non-repeating structures could emerge in other fluid systems.
- 8NSF backs project to sequence Antarctic genomes▼NSF backs research collaboration to sequence Antarctic genomes
The US National Science Foundation is funding a new research collaboration to sequence the genomes of Antarctic organisms. The effort, which includes University of California, Berkeley researchers, aims to map the genetic makeup of life in the frozen continent, shedding light on how species adapt to extreme cold and informing conservation as climate change reshapes polar ecosystems.
- 9Illinois environmental scientist awarded MacArthur 'genius grant'●Illinois environmental scientist wins prestigious 'genius grant'
An Illinois-based environmental scientist has been named a recipient of a prestigious 'genius grant', one of the most sought-after awards in the United States for outstanding talent across science, arts and public life. The fellowship comes with a substantial no-strings-attached cash prize, and the Chicago Sun-Times highlighted the win for the state's scientific community.
- 1010x Genomics Launches Sentira Computational Platform●10x Genomics Announces Sentira, a New Computational Platform to Turn Complex Biological Data Into Experimental Conclusions
10x Genomics has announced Sentira, a new computational platform designed to turn complex biological data into experimental conclusions. The company says the platform is intended to help researchers interpret single-cell and spatial data more efficiently, translating raw results into actionable scientific findings. The announcement was issued via press release, and detailed reception from the research community is not yet available.
- 11Historians spotlight unsung typists of physics research●Typing Physics: The essential role of typists in intra-scientific communication
A piece from the American Institute of Physics examines how typists shaped physics, arguing that the people who typed up manuscripts, letters and lecture notes played an essential but overlooked role in how scientists shared ideas within their community. The article highlights typing as a form of scientific labour worth recognising in the history of physics communication.

CERN has released a VHDL library for FPGAs, making its hardware description code publicly available to developers and researchers. The move gives engineers working on field-programmable gate arrays free access to code developed at the European physics lab. The release is being picked up by the open-source hardware community, which welcomes greater sharing of scientific institutions' engineering work.
- 13NSF NCAR scientist Marika Holland named MacArthur Fellow●NSF NCAR scientist Marika Holland named a MacArthur Fellow
Marika Holland, a scientist at the National Science Foundation's National Center for Atmospheric Research, has been named a MacArthur Fellow. The fellowship, often called a genius grant, recognizes individuals for exceptional creativity and comes with a no-strings-attached award. Holland's selection draws attention to her contributions to climate and polar science, and colleagues in the atmospheric research community are celebrating the honor.
- 14Anthropic responds to claims Claude discovered a new enzyme●Did Claude discover a new enzyme or ‘stole’ a biologist’s work? Anthropic responds
A dispute has erupted over whether Anthropic's Claude AI genuinely helped discover a new enzyme or improperly took credit for a biologist's work. Anthropic has issued a response addressing the allegations. The case has sparked debate in the scientific community about how much credit AI systems should receive in research and whether researchers' contributions are being overshadowed or appropriated.
- 15Stand Up for Science to Rally Researchers Against Trump Education Crackdown●Stand Up for Science to Rally Scientists and Academic Leaders Against Trump Admin's Higher Ed Crackdown
The advocacy group Stand Up for Science is organizing a rally bringing together scientists and academic leaders to oppose the Trump administration's policies affecting higher education and research funding. Organizers say the event aims to unite researchers, university officials and students in defending academic freedom and federal science support. The announcement has drawn attention amid ongoing disputes over funding cuts and government pressure on universities.
