A study by the Politecnico di Milano published on Nature Food reveals the impact of the Chinese demand for animal proteins on South American water, forests and soil.

The public are invited to share their most vibrant memories as researchers seek ways to help us recall experiences more vividly

Four research teams from the fields of Materials Science, Education, Communication and Psychology at the Universitat Jaume I are taking part in four of the eight joint research actions launched under the EDUC-WIDE project, aimed at strengthening cooperation among the universities of the EDUC alliance and with their local research ecosystems.

The public university of Castelló is thus opening new opportunities for internationalization for its research groups in areas such as communication inequality, behavioural and psychophysiological research, inclusion, and materials science, strategic fields of the "Empowering EDUC for Inclusive Development of the ERA (EDUC-WIDE)" initiative, which has offered a major opportunity to expand international collaboration.

Researchers at the University of Edinburgh have discovered that childhood cognitive function shares significant genetic overlap with longevity, showing a genetic correlation of 0.35. Using genome-wide association data from over 400,000 participants, the study provides the first evidence linking childhood intelligence genes with lifespan. The findings, published in Genomic Psychiatry, suggest that genetic variants associated with higher childhood cognitive abilities are also linked to longer parental lifespans.

A perspective article published in Psychedelics examines how psychedelic substances fundamentally alter time perception, from seconds stretching into hours to complete timelessness. Dr. Xiaohui Wang from Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, synthesizes current understanding of these temporal phenomena. Their analysis identifies critical neural mechanisms and proposes therapeutic applications for mental health conditions where disrupted time perception plays a central role.
