Peer-reviewed, open-access multidisciplinary journal published by Springer Nature, covering original research across the natural and social sciences.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
A Candidozyma auris isolate from a Nairobi surgical-site infection resisted all four classes of antifungal drug in laboratory tests, researchers report. That makes it the first pan-drug-resistant case of the WHO critical-priority pathogen reported in Africa.
Reality
KAIST researchers report in Scientific Reports that people primed to feel secure in a group wrote more detailed, persuasive dissenting arguments. The tests used hypothetical scenarios, so they say more about the quality of dissent than about whether real teams avoid groupthink.
Reality
Kirubavathi and colleagues hit 95.2% test accuracy classifying VPN and Tor darknet traffic with a CNN fed features picked by recursive elimination. For anyone building a detector, the comparison of feature selectors behind that score is the more useful result.
Reality
Earth Species Project and Elephant Voices researchers used machine learning on 902 Amboseli recordings and found rumbles converging within choruses. The matching showed up in particular social situations, a hint that the calls track what a family is doing.
Reality
Researchers including ElephantVoices' Mickey Pardo used machine learning on hundreds of Amboseli rumble recordings to predict elephant behavior above chance. Rumbles made in similar situations seem to share acoustic properties, a measurable start on cataloguing elephant calls.
Reality
ICTER researchers report that averaging OCT frames shot through a deliberately changing scattering layer gives a clearer image than a single frame. The layer lowers the laser's effective coherence enough to vary speckle between frames while keeping the interferometry OCT depends on.
Reality
Ribose, the fragile RNA sugar found in meteorites, helped borate minerals dissolve and stay dissolved in lab tests reported in Scientific Reports. Borate shields ribose from breakdown, so the sugar may have helped keep its own protector in solution on early Earth.
Reality
Fraunhofer IIS researchers found swab odors from 24 people differed between healthy volunteers and those with Parkinson's, cognitive impairment or COVID-19. The team calls it a proof of concept, and a needle-free test would first have to hold up in larger, age-matched groups outside the lab.
Reality
Japanese researchers found hourly winds from Antarctica's PANSY radar lowered forecast errors for all seven Southern Hemisphere atmospheric rivers tested. The test ran in a research system over one winter, so the gain for operational forecasts is still unknown.
Reality
ZALF researchers found that building an agri-photovoltaic plant left subsoil at 1.67 to 1.69 g/cm3, against 1.14 to 1.34 on an uncompacted control plot. For sandy farmland under solar panels, that is dense enough to restrict root growth, so the farming half of the arrangement depends on how the site is built.
Reality
Eight local experts told Bernhard Nocht Institute researchers of 39 resources, 35 of them plants, that Kenya's Mount Elgon elephants may use as medicine. The list comes from decades of the informants watching the animals, so each entry is a lead that field observation still has to test.
Reality
Lawrence Livermore researchers say a 3D-printed bioreactor turns methane into succinate over 10 times better than liquid systems while using less power. The account does not define the tenfold metric, and at 1 liter the reactor is still a lab device meant eventually for small landfill and wastewater sites.
Reality
A Wroclaw Medical University team reports in Scientific Reports that an ethanolic propolis extract acted synergistically with amphotericin B against four yeasts, including Candida auris, and antagonistically with three other antifungal drugs.
Reality
LandScan Mosaic estimates people from building height, floor count and use type, with machine learning filling the gaps in sparse regions. ORNL says it is the first globally available population release to publish confidence measures.
Reality
Priscilla Martinez's team pulled the tooth from a marine deposit at El Morro in northern Chile. Freshwater fish, gavials and palm phytoliths from the same beds carry more of the argument than the tooth does.
Reality
Oak Ridge's dataset uses building height, floor count and use type to place people across a 24-hour average, and it reports how confident it is in each estimate. For siting work, that confidence figure matters as much as the count.
Reality
More than 2,000 people in Norway and Poland read stories written to make them angry, compassionate or hopeful about climate change, then got the chance to hand over the 200 kroner or 20 zloty they had just been paid.
Reality
Flinders University researchers loaded 3D models of placoderm jaw plates from a Western Australian reef and found the smallest and the largest species both had the strongest jaws for hard food, built on opposite designs.
Reality
Fukuhara's group at Kyushu pressurized a deep-sea rhodopsin and a land-dwelling one in the same rig, and only the deep-sea protein came back with its light absorption intact. Trimer formation is the proposed reason.
Reality
A Nagoya-led group checked its system against expert scorers on 50 fish and got an identical call on repeat runs of the same video, which fixes reproducibility without settling what the endpoint predicts in the wild.
