University of Geneva researchers find fruit-fly clock neurons inhibit dopamine relay cells on a 24-hour rhythm to gate daytime wakefulness. That puts the step where time of day becomes alertness in a middle layer of cells, so far shown only in flies.

University of Geneva astronomers and colleagues report that GJ 3090 b circles its red dwarf backward, 136 degrees out of line with the star's spin. Finding no companion able to flip it, the team suggests the planet formed in a second, tilted disk.
Reality
Planets inherit their direction of travel from the disk that formed them. A planet running backward around a small cool star is therefore a formation problem, and one team's answer is a second disk, tilted from the first.
Reality
Standard active nematic theory sends paired defects along straight, mirrored lines. A Ben-Gurion-led team reports in Nature Physics that it measured curved, co-rotating paths in swarming bacteria and in human bronchial cells.
Reality
The Sorbonne and Geneva groups each built entangled-photon sources to run the same 2022 anonymous voting protocol, and each published in Physical Review Letters. Between them they counted twelve ballots.
Reality
The startup says its weight-space link between GLM-5.2 and Qwen-3.5 costs five percent of the big model while landing midway on quality, which is either a bargain or a downgrade depending on where your acceptance bar sits.
Reality
A PNNL-led team at SLAC paired ultrafast X-ray spectroscopy with scattering to watch a molecule's electronic structure and its surrounding water move in the same experiment, which is a new measurement capability some distance from a design rule for flow batteries.
Reality
Mat Santamouris says coatings, shading, ventilation and better ceiling fans could cut average urban temperatures by several degrees. That number is an estimate, not a measured result.
Reality
A Nature study reports that mouse organoids make cortical cell types but not the clock that sequences them, and that a third of progenitors get locked into a single fate.
