OwkinZero: Accelerating Biological Discovery with AI
While large language models (LLMs) are rapidly advancing scientific research, they continue to struggle with core biological reasoning tasks essential for translational and biomedical discovery. To address this limitation, we created and curated eight comprehensive benchmark datasets comprising over 300,000 verifiable question-and-answer pairs, each targeting critical challenges in drug discovery including target druggability, modality suitability, and drug perturbation effects. Using this reso…

So much groundwater is now being pumped that it is filling the oceans as it drains off land,
becoming one of the largest drivers of global sea level rise.

“Staggering” Water Loss Driven by Groundwater Mining Poses Global Threat
A new study finds that freshwater resources are rapidly disappearing, creating arid “mega” regions and causing sea levels to rise.

Discovery of Diffuse Radio Emission in a Massive z=1.709 Cool Core Cluster: A Candidate Radio Mini-Halo
Clusters of galaxies host spectacular diffuse radio sources, extending over scales from 100 kpc to several Mpcs. These sources, with extremely faint surface brightness ($μ$Jy/arcsec$^2$ level), are not tied to individual galaxies but trace synchrotron emission from large-scale magnetic fields and relativistic particles within the intracluster environment. Here, we report the discovery of a candidate radio mini-halo in SpARCS104922.6+564032.5, the most distant cool-core galaxy cluster identifie…

A Saltier Southern Ocean Could Cause More Melting Ice in Antarctica
Learn why a surge in the Southern Ocean’s salinity is an alarming sign for the future of Antarctic ice.

The vast majority of the plastic flotsam and jetsam in the North Pacific subtropical gyre (the North Pacific Garbage Patch) consists of discarded fishing gear.

Industrialised fishing nations largely contribute to floating plastic pollution in the North Pacific subtropical gyre - Scientific Reports
The subtropical oceanic gyre in the North Pacific Ocean is currently covered with tens of thousands of tonnes of floating plastic debris, dispersed over millions of square kilometres. A large fraction is composed of fishing nets and ropes while the rest is mostly composed of hard plastic objects and fragments, sometimes carrying evidence on their origin. In 2019, an oceanographic mission conducted in the area, retrieved over 6000 hard plastic debris items > 5 cm. The debris was later sorte…

Revealing wave-wave resonant interactions in ocean wind waves
Ocean wind waves are a fundamental manifestation of complex dynamics in geophysical fluid systems, characterized by a rich interplay between dispersion and nonlinearity. While linear wave theory provides a first-order description of wave motion, real-world oceanic environments are governed by nonlinear interactions that are responsible for a transfer of energy between waves of different lengths. The pioneering research by O. Phillips, K. Hasselmann, and V. Zakharov in the 1960s introduced the c…

Inversion of Arctic dual-channel sound speed profile based on random airgun signal
For the unique dual-channel sound speed profiles of the Canadian Basin and the Chukchi Plateau in the Arctic, based on the propagation characteristics of refracted normal modes under dual-channel sound speed profiles, an inversion method using refracted normal modes for dual-channel sound speed profiles is proposed. This method proposes a dual-parameter representation method for dual-channel sound speed profiles, tailored to the characteristics of dual-channel sound speed profiles. A dispersion…
