Researchers improve method to understand how the remains of extinct megafauna and other animals came to be found in underwater caves.  

Honeybees given prebiotics and probiotics may survive better under temperature-related stress, suggesting that such nutritional supplements might enhance colony resilience

A collection of fossilized dinosaur bones from Wyoming feature tooth marks that provide evidence that some bites were likely created by Tyrannosaurus rex, according to a study published July 15, 2026 in the open access journal PLOS One by Bethania C. T. Siviero from Loma Linda University, USA, and colleagues.

Scientists have described a new species of colobus monkey in the forests of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), report John Hart at Lukuru Wildlife Research Foundation and colleagues on July, 2026 in the open access journal PLOS One.

A team of researchers has confirmed the discovery of a previously unknown species of African monkey in the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), marking one of the most significant primate discoveries in decades.

Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo have developed ultrathin, stretchable facial electrodes that are effectively invisible and cannot be felt when worn. The electrodes reduce the visual discomfort and psychological burden associated with conventional facial sensors, allowing eye movements, facial muscle activity, and brain activity to be measured under more natural conditions. The electrodes could allow future technology to be operated with subtle facial and eye signals.

In the rainforests of the Democratic Republic of Congo, scientists have uncovered a previously unknown species of monkey named Colobus congoensis. The discovery marks only the fifth new monkey species in Africa identified in the past 75 years. Genetic and anatomical analyses confirmed it as a distinct species, separated from its closest relative by 4 to 5 million years of evolution. Found only within a small range of roughly 1,700 square kilometers, the monkey, which is mainly black with striking orange face patches confronts growing pressure from habitat loss and hunting and is being recommended for endangered conservation status.
