Fossil teeth from ancient North American coastlines suggest some dinosaurs supplemented land diets with seaweed and other marine food, revealing a coastal feeding link that existed more than 100 million years ago
More than 100 million years ago, the boundary between land and sea may have been a little less distinct than it looks on a map. Along the ancient coastlines of North America, storms regularly swept marine material onto beaches, creating an unexpected source of food for animals living on land.

Removing Timing Shortcuts Improves Non-Invasive Brain-to-Text
We find that major reported improvements in decoding words from non-invasive brain recordings are largely reproducible without any brain data. In the influential work of d'Ascoli et al. (2025), time series of brain activity from subjects perceiving continuous speech are segmented into fixed-length windows starting at each word. A neural network then generates predictions for all of the words in a sentence together. Neighbouring windows partially overlap, implicitly revealing the interval between

A diagnosis is where better care begins
For a family navigating a rare or genetic disease, a diagnosis can be life-changing. After months or even years of appointments, tests, referrals, and unanswered questions, finally understanding what is causing a child’s symptoms brings families an answer they have often been searching for too long. But an answer is not the end of the journey. It is the beginning of better care, and that distinction is fundamental to the promise of genomic medicine. The value of a diagnosis is what clinicians

NASA squeezed Treasury, vibe coded, and broke the mold in bid to save Swift
An attempt to save NASA's $500 million Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory from dropping out of orbit fell short, but the behind-the-scenes machinations required just to make a rescue possible deserve recognition, government and commercial space officials said in a recounting of the mission. The rescue mission was developed by Katalyst Space Technologies, working under a $30 million contract awarded by NASA last September.
Phase-Field Modeling of Liquid Phases with Ordering
A strong negative enthalpy of mixing can lead to ordering in liquid solutions. To describe ordering in liquids, different thermodynamic descriptions of liquid phases have been developed in the CALPHAD approach, including the associate model and the modified quasichemical model. In this study, we show that the key to directly incorporate these liquid phase models and their corresponding CALPHAD-type free energy formulations in phase-field simulations, is to identify the internal processes and to

Why ServiceNow built a startup inside itself to take on AI-native rivals
For two years, ServiceNow’s challengers have built businesses around frustrations with its software. Their pitch centers on two complaints: Implementations take too long, and employees increasingly expect help inside tools they already use rather than through a separate portal. The IT service management startup Serval, which says it intends to replace ServiceNow, rode that argument to a $1 billion valuation last December, raising $75 million in a funding round led by Sequoia Capital.

Disentangling Computation in Multi-Task Neural Networks with the Green's Operator
How is computation organized and reused across tasks and time in a trained recurrent network? Most analyses emphasize the geometry of neural activity, dynamical motifs, or local perturbation growth. We instead study the network's global first-order perturbation response. The finite-horizon Green's operator maps perturbations at each source along a trajectory to their downstream state-space responses and therefore directly represents perturbation routing. Simple reductions of this operator provid

Attraction to hierarchical feature memory explains orientation bias
When recalling the orientation of recent stimuli, observers are systematically biased away from the cardinal axes. The prevailing explanation is that this ''anti-cardinal bias'' arises because cardinal orientations are encoded with greater neural resources and therefore less noise, consistent with efficient coding of environmentally common features. Under this account, the bias should occur independently for each stimulus; any serial attraction towards previously seen orientations should be inde

Probing the Reionization History and Bubble Sizes with JWST Lyman-$α$ Fraction Measurements
Recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) measurements quantify the fraction of ultraviolet-selected galaxies showing detectable Lyman-alpha (Ly-$α$) lines at $z \sim 6-14$. These Ly-$α$ fractions are partly shaped by Ly-$α$ scattering from neutral hydrogen in the surrounding intergalactic medium (IGM), and so the observed Ly-$α$ fraction evolution can inform our understanding of the reionization history and the size distribution of ionized bubbles during reionization. We compare the JWST measure
