The student headlines that matter, in one email every morning. Free.
Extra time on assignments. Frequent breaks. A quiet place to work. For students with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), these are some of the most common accommodations schools provide to make learning easier. But are they actually helping children succeed? A new st
A technology that significantly improves ethanol gas sensing performance by combining five different metal elements in a single oxide has been developed.
A study in the International Journal of Innovation and Sustainable Development of teachers' behavior during outdoor play at kindergarten has identified a gap between the support children need and the help educators provide, particularly in emotional and social development.
A star's explosive demise has added a shiny new feature to NGC 1433, a barred spiral galaxy approximately 50 million light-years away in the southern constellation Horologium (the Pendulum Clock). New images of supernova SN 2026ahvu from the U.S. Department of Energy–fabricated D
While young people are constantly exposed to news about climate change, their resulting anxiety does not always translate into environmental action. A new study published in Climate reveals that the relationship between climate distress and climate action is highly complex. While
The ESA's Euclid has already teased us with some early results. In the past, it's given us a small image covering 60 square degrees of the sky, created with a few days of observations. Those images showed individual targets from the Horsehead Nebula to the Perseus cluster of gala
China's one-child policy is widely considered one of the most stringent public policies in modern history. Yet researchers have long debated how much it actually contributed to the country's dramatic fertility decline.
The moon is not the Wild West: Experts call for a pause on lunar industrialization and more — today's student signal.
As the major powers and the private companies go full tilt with their plans to develop infrastructure and extract resources on the moon, the questions around environmental protection, international regulation and who benefits all come into play. Vilnius University Institute of In
Black rhinos are notoriously aggressive, not just to humans but also to their fellow black rhinos. Aggression is so prevalent that injuries sustained after fighting with another black rhino are a common cause of death. Because of this aggression and their solitary nature, black r
Researchers have developed a new approach that can precisely count from zero to more than 9,000 individual photons. The advance opens new possibilities for studying quantum light at large scales and making precise optical measurements.
Just one atom thick, graphene is the thinnest and strongest material ever measured. It can also conduct electricity and heat extremely well. These remarkable properties have generated interest in using graphene in everything from solar cells and batteries to water filters and sen

A new study details scientists' search for one of the planet's rarest birds in the waters off Fiji's Gau Island. Spanning 10 days, the expedition yielded no verified sightings of the critically endangered Fiji petrel, one of the world's most elusive birds. Fewer than 50 individua
Fusion power is expected to be a sustainable energy source that emits no carbon dioxide during electricity generation. To achieve this, research is underway worldwide to confine high-temperature plasma using magnetic fields. To initiate a fusion reaction, high-energy particles or
To reduce nitrogen pollution stemming from synthetic fertilizer and livestock waste, California's Central Valley relies on five data sets to estimate surplus nitrogen. However, most parts of the United States use just one or two data sets—the U.S. Department of Agriculture's agri
Researchers at Penn Dental Medicine have uncovered a previously unknown molecular mechanism by which bacteria rapidly compromise the body's protective barriers, a finding that could reshape how scientists approach a wide range of serious diseases.
Most DNA in an organism is inherited from its parent or parents. This form of genetic inheritance is referred to as vertical inheritance because genes are passed down from generation to generation.
Living materials created with a 3D printer are like living tissues with one notable exception: You get to choose exactly which cells are in them, as well as their final 3D shape. Depending on the type of bacteria included in the print, the material can clean up contaminated water
An international team of scientists working with Queensland Museum's CoralBank project has uncovered previously hidden coral diversity on Australia's east coast, revealing that 12 corals once considered variations of other species are distinct species in their own right.
Dogs, having lived alongside humans for tens of thousands of years, are keenly tuned in to our emotions. Behavioral experiments, brain studies and even measurements of heart rate all suggest dogs respond differently depending on the emotional expressions they encounter in humans.
They say opposites attract, and many couples do fit this pattern. One is pragmatic and down-to-earth, while the other is a dreamer with their head in the clouds. Yet, these differences make them perfect for each other. According to researchers at ICFO, chemical interactions betwe
It probably walked on two legs and weighed about 400 kilograms (880 pounds), despite still being a youngster. Meet Nyana rooiwalensis, a newly identified dinosaur species that lived more than 200 million years ago in what is now South Africa.
Mercury contamination presents an obvious challenge: it is invisible. A glass of water or a piece of fruit can seem perfectly normal to the naked eye, even when trace amounts of toxic mercury are present. Detecting such minute levels usually requires specialized laboratory tools
