For mice, sound hurts. Not just a loud noise hurting your ears. Hearing others in pain makes an individual experience more intense pain when it comes their way.

There's no denying that maintaining some fitness is good for our health, particularly as we get older. But it isn't always easy find time or access equipment. Good news, as we get older, positive health effects can be gained by simply walking a little bit faster.
Cognitive science has taken off at British schools but hasn’t registered in the U.S. Educators blame it on America’s decentralized system and grad schools that are often hostile to research. The74million.org has more:
It may be an odd thing for a science account to say, but alternative medicine works, within a context. That context is when it is used in coordination with actual medicine.
The pity is that the 2 sides seem to actively oppose each other, rather than embracing the fact that together they could generate better results for many people.
Love eggs? Fear cholesterol?
Well then, I may have some good news for you...

Ecosystems may be somewhat like magnets. Whilst this idea is fascinating, if it is true, then the consequences, amid our changing climate, are potentially terrifying.

Wind powered green hydrogen ocean platform, building a school using doughnut economics, shipping releases methane in shallow waters, Japan sets internet speed record, & create your own bayeux tapestry!
When the large business CEOs and their ilk were cramming AI into every product going, to make a bit more money. I don't think that any of them considered that AI would be used to figure out where the super rich are hiding their substantial assets.
Octopuses don’t just squeeze through holes—they see through illusions.
In a new study, these brainy blobs were fooled by a rubber optical illusion, just like humans are. That’s not dinner. That’s sentience.
Still fancy that calamari?

The inflation deflation. At the very start of the universe, it grew fast. Very fast. Faster than it should have, in a peroid known as inflation, which took advantage of some unique conditions to break some standard rules of physics.
Now, a team is challenging this and says this period can be described using standard physics.

Medieval medicine contained things that we would consider unorthodox today, like animal dung.
Not only are we learning more about how well some of these treatments could have worked, but a surprising number of them are being re-popularised today on TikTok.
Mercifully, not the dung.
Some of the biggest mass extinctions still have unknown causes (some things a deadlier than asteroids). One of the biggest could have been due to a rapid acidification of the Earth's oceans.
And what can cause oceans to acidify? Oh, yes, CO2!
Some people are happy to be exhibitionists, for others, the idea of drawing attention to themselves fills them with nothing but dread. Other people can be a big source of stress, and a new study has found that extroverts simply may have learned how to handle daily stress better.
