Report details ecological characterization of peatlands and coastal lagoons in EU‎

A new synthesis report, titled "Ecological Characterisation of Peatlands and Coastal Lagoons in Europe," has been published to support the assessment, monitoring and restoration of European wetlands under EU environmental legislation. The report was prepared in response to a policy request submitted by the Directorate-General for Environment (DG ENV) to the European Commission's Knowledge Centre for Biodiversity (KCBD) and delivered by the Science Service for Biodiversity (SSBD), which is currently under development by the BioAgora project.

Are we missing the universe's 'noosignatures?'‎

Astrobiology has long been split into two camps: a search for "biosignatures" and a search for "intelligence." These look for very different things, but they also leave a huge gap in between. It took 3.5 billion years for us to go from the first microbe to a civilization that sent radio waves into the cosmos. Detecting life in between those stages is a relatively untouched aspect of astrobiology—which is also the focal point of a new paper, "Signs and Signatures of Intelligence," available on the arXiv preprint server, by astrobiologist Julia DeMarines.

More than 50% of Australian university assignments used AI. How should universities respond?‎

Last week, the U.S. software company Turnitin revealed 53.6% of Australian tertiary education submissions run through its system used some form of AI in the period from October 2025–April 2026. The company, whose plagiarism-detection technology is widely used in universities, also reported 10% of these submissions contained more than 80% AI-written content.

New technique for building ultra-thin material stacks promises quantum breakthrough‎

Scientists have unveiled a new fabrication technique for the ultra-clean manufacturing of 2D heterostructures—materials just a few atoms thick—that could be used in quantum technology and electronics. Experts from Southampton and Singapore say the method could be used to develop next-generation devices that accelerate research in quantum computing.

Astronomers uncover the earliest known signs of galaxy-building in action‎

Astronomers at Durham University have made a major advance in understanding how galaxies formed and evolved in the early universe. Using powerful new observations, the team discovered the most distant example ever found of a compact, star-forming structure at the heart of a galaxy, dating back more than 9 billion years.

Europe's last pagan state was already diverse: Medieval Vilnius drew migrants from Christian lands‎

Lithuania was famously the final pagan state in Europe. While the rest of the continent converted to Christianity, Lithuania remained officially pagan until Catholicism was adopted in AD 1387. Despite this, the extent to which Lithuania's population remained pagan or converted to Christianity was unclear, as was the extent of migration from the wider Christian world.

Ocean acidification emerging as a planetary signal linking today's carbon emissions to Earth's deep-time memory‎

When most people hear the phrase "ocean acidification," they think of coral reefs, shellfish or declining fisheries. Those concerns are real. But while working on our recent research, I found myself asking a different question: What if ocean acidification is telling us something much bigger than the health of marine ecosystems?

Tailored limits could manage 350,000 chemicals better than zero-release goal‎

Man-made substances surround us everywhere in our daily lives. According to the current understanding of the "Planetary Boundaries" framework, the carrying capacity for so-called novel entities—which include chemicals, microplastics, and nanomaterials—is considered to have been exceeded, and a target value of "zero" has been set for their release into the environment.
