Researchers Warn Permanent Daylight Saving Time Could Increase Children’s Exposure to Dark Morning Commutes

Researchers are warning that making daylight saving time permanent could have unintended consequences for American schoolchildren. A new study estimates that the policy could produce at least 2 billion additional school commutes in darkness, exposing children to road conditions before sunrise and potentially affecting their biological clocks. Safety data cited

Mechanical pressure changes the magnetic behavior of altermagnets

A small mechanical squeeze can sharply change the magnetic properties and electrical behavior of altermagnets, according to researchers studying these exotic materials. The finding shows that physical pressure can be used to modify material behavior in ways that may be useful for designing faster, more energy-efficient electronic devices. It

Researchers confirm altermagnetism as a distinct form of magnetism

For most of the past 90 years, magnetism has been described in two broad categories. Researchers at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center have now confirmed a third: altermagnetism. Using specialized X-ray techniques, the team detected a unique magnetic signature in altermagnetic materials. This signature distinguishes their behavior from that

AI-Identified Molecule Shows Weight-Loss Effects in Animals

Researchers at Stanford have identified a natural molecule, dubbed BRP, that may offer a new approach to appetite control and weight management. The discovery was made with the help of AI, which helped scientists screen for promising biological compounds. In animal experiments, BRP reduced food intake by as much as

Science News: Asteroids, Space Missions, and the Building Blocks of Life

All 5 genetic “letters” of DNA and RNA discovered in a 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Researchers detected all five essential nucleobases in samples from the 4.5-billion-year-old asteroid Ryugu, suggesting that key molecular ingredients of life were present in the early Solar System and may

American Voters Push Back Against Silicon Valley’s AI Vision

American voters appear to have sent a clear signal against Silicon Valley’s worldview, according to a 404 Media analysis of the latest election. The outlet describes the result as a broad rejection of a technology agenda increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence and concentrated corporate power. The framing places the

Google’s search growth outpaces its AI monetization

Google’s search activity is expanding faster, but Alphabet has yet to translate that momentum into a clear boost from AI-related search products. In its third-quarter earnings report, Alphabet said search queries were growing at their fastest rate in five years. Search revenue nevertheless grew 12% year over
