You may know us through @physorg_com and @medical_xpress — but @sciencex_com is now home to a growing collection of fascinating science stories worth exploring.

By 2100, some equatorial Southeast Asian coasts could see today’s 100-year floods every year, as rising sea level lifts the baseline beneath tides and storms. @EarthsFutureEiC sciencex.com/news/2026-07-se…
Up to 1.16 volts from humid air: a flexible paper-like device made from waste fibers, salt, and recycled battery carbon nearly doubled earlier moisture-generator output. @SciReports sciencex.com/news/2026-07-de…
Deep below Lost City, superheated water matched the vents’ chemistry almost exactly, pointing to an underground source for the hydrogen-rich fluid that fuels this sunless ecosystem. sciencex.com/news/2026-07-de…
Daily lycopene helped Parkinson’s-model mice keep steadier movement and more dopamine neurons, while a possible link to the brain’s dopamine recycling system remains unresolved. sciencex.com/news/2026-07-to…
Hundreds of kilometers from the sea, a Negev rock shelter held pierced Mediterranean shell beads with ochre, suggesting sustained contact between Ice Age desert and coastal groups. sciencex.com/news/2026-07-de…
A moderate storm drove 20 amps into New Zealand’s grid for 90 minutes while standard satellite alarms barely moved, exposing a slow-burn space weather risk. @theAGU sciencex.com/news/2026-07-mo…
Heaviest short-video users did worst on a working-memory test, while regular exercisers performed better even with high viewing time—though the study was correlational, not proof of cause. sciencex.com/news/2026-07-en…
A smile can look natural on one face and oddly fast or slow on another, suggesting the brain expects face-specific patterns of movement rather than one universal template. @RSocPublishing sciencex.com/news/2026-07-br…
Higher narcissism and psychopathy scores were tied to lower stress reactions in a lab test, with less anxiety and smaller spikes in blood pressure or heart rate. @J_A_C_S sciencex.com/news/2026-07-da…
Cannibalism may offer only an average meal, while disease risk climbs exponentially with each link in the chain—helping explain why the practice stayed rare even in famine. @PNASNews sciencex.com/news/2026-07-ca…
A common grain cut toxic Alzheimer’s-linked amyloid clumping by 67–76% in lab tests, with black sorghum extracts standing out while whether that can translate beyond cells remains unknown sciencex.com/news/2026-07-an…
A few minutes as Einstein in VR cut young men’s hidden age bias with a medium-to-large effect, while what they openly said about older workers barely changed. sciencex.com/news/2026-07-ei…
Myo-inositol may improve ovulation and pregnancy in PCOS, with some analyses showing roughly doubled pregnancy success, but the evidence remains patchy and no key outcome is backed by high-quality trials yet. sciencex.com/news/2026-06-wi…
Shamans carved entering mountain cracks in southern Siberia may echo Khakas initiation rites in which novices enter the mountain to receive a drum. sciencex.com/news/2026-06-sh…
A built-in cell “antenna” may let cells sense wound electric fields: without Galvanin, fast-moving cells lost reliable electric-guided migration, while a highly negative outer domain appears to pull the sensor to one side. @CellCellPress sciencex.com/news/2026-06-bu…
Age 6 marks a shift in sunk-cost thinking: 4- and 5-year-olds ignored prior effort even when prompted, while 6- to 7-year-olds became more likely to choose the harder-won identical item. sciencex.com/news/2026-06-ki…
Nearly 180° backward, TOI-1710 b orbits opposite its star’s spin, and a proposed hidden giant at about 15 AU may be the missing link behind the flip. @AAS_Office sciencex.com/news/2026-06-ne…
Structured AI use improved students’ problem-solving most clearly, while more than half of classroom experiments gave no guidance and many flagged cognitive risks. sciencex.com/news/2026-06-ai…
Low caffeine doses improved race times, and 4–6 mg/kg delivered the most consistent boost at about 2.18% faster finishes, while anything above that remains untested in real time trials. sciencex.com/news/2026-06-ca…
Within seconds of a touch, Trichoplax flips thousands of cilia in unison and crawls away, steering without nerves or muscles through a calcium-dependent shift across its lower cell layer. @currentbiology sciencex.com/news/2026-06-br…
