Scientists solve a major roadblock holding back cancer cell therapy
|
Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based cancer therapy. Helper T cells act as the immune system’s coordinators, helping other immune cells fight longer and harder. The team discovered how to precisely control a key signal that determines which type of T cell forms. This advance could lead to ready-made cell therapies that are cheaper, faster, and easier to access.

Stanford scientists found a way to regrow cartilage and stop arthritis
|
Scientists at Stanford Medicine have discovered a treatment that can reverse cartilage loss in aging joints and even prevent arthritis after knee injuries. By blocking a protein linked to aging, the therapy restored healthy, shock-absorbing cartilage in old mice and injured joints, dramatically improving movement and joint function. Human cartilage samples from knee replacement surgeries also began regenerating when exposed to the treatment.

Patients tried everything for depression then this implant changed their lives
|
Researchers report that vagus nerve stimulation helped many people with long-standing, treatment-resistant depression feel better—and stay better—for at least two years. Most participants had lived with depression for decades and had exhausted nearly every other option. Those who improved at one year were very likely to maintain or increase their gains over time. Even some patients who didn’t respond initially improved after longer treatment.

A faint signal from the Universe’s dark ages could reveal dark matter
|
After the Big Bang, the Universe entered a long, dark period before the first stars formed. During this era, hydrogen emitted a faint radio signal that still echoes today. New simulations show this signal could be slightly altered by dark matter, leaving behind a measurable fingerprint. Future radio telescopes on the Moon may be able to detect it and shed light on one of astronomy’s greatest mysteries.

James Webb catches an exoplanet losing its atmosphere in real time
|
Astronomers have captured the most dramatic view yet of a planet losing its atmosphere, watching the ultra-hot gas giant WASP-121b for an entire orbit with the James Webb Space Telescope. Instead of a single stream of escaping gas, the planet is wrapped in two colossal helium tails—one trailing behind like a comet, the other stretching ahead toward its star.

The human brain may work more like AI than anyone expected
|
Scientists have discovered that the human brain understands spoken language in a way that closely resembles how advanced AI language models work. By tracking brain activity as people listened to a long podcast, researchers found that meaning unfolds step by step—much like the layered processing inside systems such as GPT-style models.

Your brain does something surprising when you don’t sleep
|
When you’re short on sleep and your focus suddenly drifts, your brain may be briefly slipping into cleanup mode. Scientists discovered that these attention lapses coincide with waves of fluid washing through the brain, a process that usually happens during sleep. It’s the brain’s way of compensating for missed rest. Unfortunately, that internal cleaning comes at the cost of momentary mental shutdowns.

A wobbling black hole jet is stripping a galaxy of star-forming gas
|
A nearby active galaxy called VV 340a offers a dramatic look at how a supermassive black hole can reshape its entire host. Astronomers observed a relatively weak but restless jet blasting outward from the galaxy’s core, wobbling like a spinning top as it plows through surrounding gas. Using a powerful mix of space- and ground-based telescopes, the team showed that this jet heats, ionizes, and flings gas out of the galaxy at a surprisingly high rate.

The overlooked survival strategy that made us human
|
Long before humans became master hunters, our ancestors were already thriving by making the most of what nature left behind. New research suggests that scavenging animal carcasses wasn’t a desperate last resort, but a smart, reliable survival strategy that shaped human evolution. Carrion provided calorie-rich food with far less effort than hunting, especially during hard times, and humans were uniquely suited to take advantage of it—from strong stomach acid and long-distance walking to fire, tools, and teamwork.

A 250-million-year-old fossil reveals the origins of mammal hearing
|
Sensitive hearing may have evolved in mammal ancestors far earlier than scientists once believed. By modeling how sound moved through the skull of Thrinaxodon, a 250-million-year-old mammal predecessor, researchers found it likely used an early eardrum to hear airborne sounds. This challenges the long-held idea that these animals mainly “listened” through their jaws or bones. The results reveal that a key feature of modern mammal hearing was already taking shape deep in prehistory.

Major review finds no autism or ADHD risk from pregnancy Tylenol
|
A major new scientific review brings reassuring news for expectant parents: using acetaminophen, commonly known as Tylenol, during pregnancy does not increase a child’s risk of autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability. Researchers analyzed 43 high-quality studies, including powerful sibling comparisons that help separate medication effects from genetics and family environment. Earlier warnings appear to have been driven by underlying maternal health factors such as fever or pain rather than the medication itself.

New research shows emotional expressions work differently in autism
|
Researchers found that autistic and non-autistic people move their faces differently when expressing emotions like anger, happiness, and sadness. Autistic participants tended to rely on different facial features and produced more varied expressions, which can look unfamiliar to non-autistic observers. The study suggests emotional misunderstandings are a two-way street, not a one-sided deficit.

Cannabis was touted for nerve pain. The evidence falls short
|
Cannabis-based medicines have been widely promoted as a potential answer for people living with chronic nerve pain—but a major new review finds the evidence just isn’t there yet. After analyzing more than 20 clinical trials involving over 2,100 adults, researchers found no strong proof that cannabis products outperform placebos in relieving neuropathic pain. Even when small improvements were reported, especially with THC-CBD combinations, they weren’t large enough to make a real difference in daily life.

The real danger of Tylenol has nothing to do with autism

While social media continues to circulate claims linking acetaminophen to autism in children, medical experts say those fears distract from a far more serious and proven danger: overdose. Acetaminophen, found in Tylenol and many cold and flu remedies, is one of the leading causes of emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and acute liver failure in the United States.

Scientists sent viruses to space and they evolved in surprising ways
|
When scientists sent bacteria-infecting viruses to the International Space Station, the microbes did not behave the same way they do on Earth. In microgravity, infections still occurred, but both viruses and bacteria evolved differently over time. Genetic changes emerged that altered how viruses attach to bacteria and how bacteria defend themselves. The findings could help improve phage therapies against drug-resistant infections.

The Ring Nebula is hiding a giant structure made of iron

A huge bar of iron has been discovered lurking inside the iconic Ring Nebula. The structure is enormous, spanning hundreds of times the size of Pluto’s orbit and containing a Mars-sized amount of iron. It was detected using a new instrument that allowed astronomers to map the nebula in far greater detail than ever before. The origin of the iron bar is still a mystery, with one theory suggesting it could be the remains of a vaporized planet.

A Michigan dairy farm took a gamble on a new kind of soybean—and it paid off fast. After feeding high-oleic soybeans to their cows, milk quality improved within days and feed costs dropped dramatically. Backed by years of MSU research, the crop is helping farmers replace expensive supplements with something they can grow themselves. Demand has surged, and many believe it could reshape the dairy industry.

Two Twisty Shapes Resolve a Centuries-Old Topology Puzzle

Imagine if our skies were always filled with a thick layer of opaque clouds. With no way to see the stars, or to view our planet from above, would we have ever discovered that the Earth is round? The answer is yes. By measuring particular distances and angles on the ground, we can determine that the Earth is a sphere and not, say, flat or doughnut-shaped — even without a satellite picture.

Benjamin Harrison Gravesite in Indianapolis, Indiana
|
Come for the criminal; stay for the POTUS! Benjamin Harrison (1833-1901) was the 23rd President of the United States (POTUS) and grandson of 9th POTUS William Henry Harrison. His tombstone says he was a “lawyer and publicist.” He was also a grizzled war veteran, ending up as Brigadier General of the US Army. He then became an Indiana state senator, then POTUS, being preceded and succeeded by Grover Cleveland. Feel free to look him up and see how busy and popular he was as president. While he was running for a second term in 1892, his dear wife Caroline died in the White House of tuberculosis. She was buried back home in Indiana at Crown Hill. Benjamin decided to be buried by her side nine years later, eschewing the grandeur of burial at Arlington National Cemetery. Outlaw John Dillinger is also buried at Crown Hill. Many people visit him without paying their respects to somebody who actually deserves respect. So when you visit Crown Hill Cemetery, make it a point to see the tomb of Benjamin Harrison, Indiana’s first (and, so far, only) POTUS.

Waitzstraße in Hamburg, Germany
|
Waitzstraße, located in western Hamburg’s upscale Othmarschen district, seems at first a peaceful, leafy street. This one-way stretch, with a strict 6 mph (10 km/h) speed limit and cautious drivers, should be a safe environment. Yet, for two decades, an uncanny number of vehicles, about 30, have collided with the windows of shops, cafés, banks, and hair salons. The media call it Germany’s most accident-prone shopping street, while locals joke the frequent slapstick mishaps are a curse. In 2015, the city installed heavy concrete blocks to prevent crashes. Despite their solidity, these barriers failed to stop cars from hitting storefronts; some even pushed blocks into windows, causing more damage. By 2023, slim, deeply anchored steel bollards replaced them. The line of bollards gives the street an almost anti-terrorist security appearance, sharply contrasting with the usual tranquility. While they protect shops, incidents still occur with cars hitting the bollards instead of windows. Reports offer a clue: the average age of drivers involved is 75. This is no coincidence. Waitzstraße hosts a remarkable concentration of medical practices, with local reports estimating around 65 within just over 1,300 feet (400 meters), making it one of Europe’s densest clusters. Many older visitors arriving in oversized cars for brief appointments have mistaken the gas for the brake, tumbling into storefronts. Diagonal parking, stress, slower reflexes, and medication effects have further increased the risk of accidents.

Bauvais-Amoureux House in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri
|
The Bauvais-Amoureux House is the kind of architectural oddball Atlas Obscura readers secretly (loudly) root for: a 1792 French colonial home built poteaux-en-terre—“posts in the earth”—meaning its vertical log walls are literally structural and planted like stubborn teeth in the soil. It’s a survivor from a town that had to move and rebuild after the Flood of 1785, and it sits near le Grand Champ—among the nation’s oldest continuously worked farmland—like it’s keeping watch over the old field still. Even in a country stuffed with “historic homes,” this one hits different: only five poteaux-en-terre houses are known to remain in the United States, and three of them are right here in Sainte Geneviève. Then the story swerves from “rare building technique” into “human lightning in a bottle.” In the 1800s it became home to Pélagie Amoureux, who was born enslaved and remained enslaved for 27 years—until love and stubborn courage helped pry open a door history tried to keep locked. She married a white man while still enslaved in 1830, was manumitted along with their son two years later, was forced to live separately from her husband until 1852 when they bought the house, and she fought desperately (and successfully) after his death to keep the home in their name. Pélagie’s struggles left a vortex of latent energy that only recently became kinetic. It’s a story that strikes right at America’s guilty conscience, and one that struck a match under Pélagie descendant, Don Strand, where—with Academy Award–winning director Ben Proudfoot—they turned the house into the the “set” of Pélagie X, a short biopic that doubles as a revolt against historical erasure. The Pélagie X site that the film accompanies is built like a toolkit as much as a tribute: it points people to church registers, census records, court and county documents, and other research breadcrumbs, and it even expands outward into community memory work like compiling African American burial data from local cemeteries—turning a historic house visit into a gateway drug for genealogy.

The Anderson Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico
|
The Anderson Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum, which opened its doors in 2005, features exhibits that include fascinating artifacts, some of which date back to air travel’s earliest days: The first hot air balloon flight and the first gas balloon flight both took place in Paris in 1783. Few, if any, museums start with an accidental death. Yet two such tragedies make up the first entries in the timeline of this Albuquerque museum, a center dedicated to exploration through ballooning. But rest assured, a visit to this museum is truly an uplifting experience. Two renowned Albuquerque balloonists, Maxie Anderson and Ben Abruzzo, completed the first nonstop transatlantic gas balloon flight in 1978. Tragically, Anderson was killed in a balloon accident in Germany five years later. Two years after that, Abruzzo died when a plane he was piloting crashed near Albuquerque. It’s in their memory that this museum is named, and Albuquerque is a natural home for it, as the city has been hosting the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta for more than 50 years. The museum offers views overlooking the Balloon Fiesta’s official launch field. The museum’s architecture, by Studio SW, suggests an inflating balloon on its side and boasts a tensile fabric roof and an inflated balloon in its 75-foot-tall gallery. There are balloon simulators and various exhibits inside, plus balconies, roof decks and a plaza for watching the private balloon rides offered by local businesses.

Oldest Concrete Street in America in Bellefontaine, Ohio
|
It is hard for most to imagine a time when there were not concrete and asphalt roads to travel on. In Early America, horses and wagons traveled on roads made of dirt, gravel, crushed stone, and eventually brick. These materials created problems for travelers, and required innovation. George W. Bartholomew, founder of Buckeye Portland Cement Company, knew there was a better way for road surfaces. Concrete was called "artificial stone" in the 19th century and was considered a modern mixture not yet used to pave streets. After many years of debate and advocacy, Bartholomew constructed an 8-foot test strip along Main Street next to the Logan County Courthouse in 1891. To secure the work, Bartholomew posted a $5,000 bond for a five-year guarantee. An interesting fact about this site is that a section of the concrete pavement used in Bellefontaine, Ohio won first prize for achievement in engineering technology at the Chicago's World Fair in 1893. The concrete used for this landmark project came from native marl supplied by Buckeye Cement Company, located only eight miles away from Bellefontaine. At that time, the project cost $2.25 per square yard. The concrete road was a hit with the community and the city officials approved the paving of Court Avenue two years later. Within three years of the first project, Court Avenue, Opera Street, Columbus Avenue, and the rest of Main Street were paved. A total of 7,700 square yards of paving was done on all four streets circling the courthouse. The original bare concrete roads served the community until 1950. In 1960, Main Street was resurfaced due to a broken water main line. The Court Avenue section is still considered to be the oldest concrete pavement still in service in the United States. To maintain functionality, the road has undergone some pavement improvements in 1962, the 1990s, and 2008. In 1991, the City of Bellefontaine erected a statue of George Bartholomew in the center of the Concrete Street. Today, Court Avenue stands as a testament to Bartholomew's innovation and the city's place in history. The street is also commemorated with an Ohio Historical Marker in 1968 to honor its 75th anniversary at the northeast corner of East Court Avenue and South Main Street. George Bartholomew is remembered as the man who brought concrete to the Midwest which set a model for modern road construction across the country.

Dioš Castle in Dioš, Croatia
|
Rising from a hilltop surrounded by ancient chestnut and walnut trees, Dvorac Dioš was commissioned in 1904 by Alajos Tüköry and his wife Paula for their daughter, Marija. Paula famously demanded that the structure should not look like a mere hunting lodge or summer villa, but a "lordly house"-resulting in a striking facade with complex rooflines, pointed towers, and ornate brickwork. After serving as a noble residence, it was purchased by the Salesian order in 1941 and renamed "Marijin Dvor" (Mary's Court). Despite a turbulent history of nationalization during the communist era, the castle has returned to the Salesians and remains a hidden architectural gem in the Slavonia region, currently being preserved as a center for youth.

The Brill Building in New York, New York
|
A hub for the music industry since before World War II, the Brill Building today is permanently associated with a particular style of pop music that flourished in the years prior to the British Invasion. It sought to tame rebellious rock-and-roll by bringing it under the purview of professional songwriters and producers. It was dominated by lush orchestras and relatively complex songwriting with simple lyrics. Although in reality most Brill Building songs were written elsewhere, this location was considered the most prestigious in the music industry. 165 music businesses were located here in 1962, and most stages of the recording and release process were represented here. The genre declined as its songs became increasingly formulaic and the British Invasion changed pop and rock's focus. However, many Brill Building songwriters went on to have successful careers as musicians, such as Carole King and Neil Diamond. Above the building's Art-Deco entrance is a bust of Alan Lefcourt, ill-fated son of the building's developer, Abraham E. Lefcourt.

‘Alicia’ in Seville, Spain
|
The first thing that catches our eye upon visiting the Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art, located in the former La Cartuja Monastery in Seville, is a giant sculpture that appears trapped inside a house. It is 'Alice,' the famous character from Lewis Carroll, here recalling the passage in which the protagonist grows until seh surpasses the size of the house that accomodates her. 'Alicia' is a work by the Andalusian artist Cristina Lucas, created in 2009 for Córdoba's nomination to become European Capital of Culture in 2016. The sculpture was initially installed in a well-known courtyard in Córdoba. Later, in 2013, it was moved to its current location in Seville. The piece depicts an enormous female figure who seems trapped inside a house, with her face and right arm peeking out of the windows. It represents the passage described in "Alice in Wonderland" in which the girl grows to an enormous size after discovers and eats a cake labelled "Eat me." The artist's aim is to use these colossal dimensions to fill the space and evoke the physical force of the metaphor described by Lewis Carroll in the famous book, bringing the book's unsettling fantasy into the real world, alluding to the confinement that many women, especially in Andalusia, have suffered throughout history, trapped within the confines of their homes.

Metroteka in Warsaw, Poland
|
Before the age of the smartphone, reading a good book was the most common way to pass the time while riding public transport. Metroteka aims to give good old-fashioned paper books a shot in the arm by offering a wide range of reading materials to Warsaw commuters close to the station platform. The underground library has an intriguing modern design with parametric furniture and sloping white bookcases which contrast sharply with the black walls. Metroteka also features a hydroponic herb garden, with lightly scented leaves growing in a vertical arrangement under the light of lamps. The design of the library is intended to inspire thought and debate; about the loss of libraries in Poland during WWII and challenges to food security in the 21st century. Visitors can borrow books using the self-service system or enjoy this unique, underground space; an ideal spot for study, reading, or a moment of contemplation.

Juchheim in Kobe, Japan
|
Baumkuchen, a tree stump-shaped cake of German origin, has long been a mainstay in Japan. From wedding gifts to everyday desserts found at convenience stores, it is ubiquitous across the country and even more popular than in Germany, often seen as a peculiar phenomenon. This cake was first introduced to Japan on 4 March 1919 at the Hiroshima Industrial Promotion Hall – today known as the Atomic Bomb Dome – by German confectioner Karl Juchheim, who was taken as a prisoner of war at Qingdao in 1914 despite being a civilian. He moved to the port city of Yokohama after his release and founded his own shop in 1922, but trouble followed him. Just one year later, the Kanto region was devasted by a massive earthquake, forcing Juchheim to relocate to Kobe in the west. It was a good location as it had no shortage of foreign customers, but his success came to a halt again when World War II broke out. Karl Juchheim passed away on 14 August 1945, just before the end of the war; his only son Karlheinz had died in a battle in Vienna three month prior, and his wife Elise was deported by the Allied government in 1947. Former employees at Juchheim’s rebuilt the company and kept it going until Elise was allowed to return in 1953, who served as its CEO from 1961 up to her death in 1971. The company was inherited by Haruo Kawamoto, former soccer player and close friend of the Juchheim family. It has since grown to be one of Japan’s beloved confectionery brands, popularizing Baumkuchen among the general public. Today, Juchheim’s main branch in the Motomachi district of Kobe City is a classy shop steeped in history, with a European-style café on the second floor. There are also special Baumkuchens only available at this location, such as the “Meister’s hand-baked Baum” and the Apfelbaum, which contains a whole apple in its center.

‘Moment - Point Zéro’ in Brussels, Belgium
|
Molenbeek-Saint-Jean is a municipality located northwest of the city centre of Brussels. Like the rest of Brussels, it is renovating its urban spaces to provide a pleasant living environment for its residents. In 2014, the Place Communale was renovated. The work included a piece of art by the famous Brussels artist Joëlle Tuerlinckx. As the work was to be installed in the centre of the square, the artist came up with the idea of creating a 'Point Zero', which is a reference to the point from which distances to other cities are measured (as in Leuven ). This concept carries significant symbolic value in a community as multicultural as this one, where nearly one-third of the population has foreign origins. The zero point thus becomes the symbolic starting point for calculating distances to all the countries with which the population has cultural and social ties. The artwork comprises a 12.5-ton block of blue Hainaut stone, which arrived in Molenbeek by boat on January 8, 2014. The choice of material and mode of transport is a reminder that Molenbeek was the point at which the building materials used to construct the capital arrived, creating an additional link with the municipality's history. After being sculpted by Jean Dalemans, the stone was buried in the square's ground. Only the top is visible: a disc with a diameter of 58 cm in the middle of the cobblestones. Therefore, most of the block is invisible underground. The work was the subject of fierce criticism as soon as it was installed: the total cost of purchasing the block, transporting it, carving it and installing it was estimated at €80,000. This is a considerable amount to spend on a piece of art that is buried in the ground and therefore almost invisible. However, this was the artist's intention: for most of the block to be hidden under the cobblestones. According to her, unlike other monuments in public spaces, this monument does not symbolise anything, but rather the moment of its installation — hence its name, 'Moment—Point Zero'. The symbolic significance of this work continues to elude many people, who still consider it a waste of public money. It has already been cited in the press as an example of a work of art whose cost is considered disproportionate. Nevertheless, it is still there today. It is the only permanent piece by this renowned Belgian conceptual artist that can be seen in a public space. Visitors must therefore take its symbolic dimension into account when viewing the work, or they may be disappointed by this stone disc that barely emerges from the ground!

Villa Pandolfi Elmi in Spello, Italy
|
Nestled in the valley below Spello, Villa Pandolfi Elmi has stood since the mid-18th century, its elegant architecture framed by olive groves and sweeping views of the medieval town. Behind the villa lies a small chapel with a curious reputation. Built shortly before 1746, its first recorded mass coincided with the feast of San Pasquale Baylon, a Spanish friar canonized for his devotion to the Eucharist. His relics rest within the chapel, and for generations, women have invoked his aid in finding a husband—sometimes reciting a traditional Neapolitan rhyme: San Pasquale Baylonne Protettore delle donne, fammi trovare marito, bianco, rosso e colorito, come te, tale quale, o glorioso san pasquale! Saint Paschal Baylon, Protector of women, help me find a husband, fair, rosy, and full of color, just like you, exactly so, oh glorious Saint Paschal! The villa itself has a storied past, once home to monsignors and later to the noble Pandolfi Elmi family, who oversaw harvests of wheat, grapes, and olives from these fertile Umbrian hills. Today, part of the villa operates as a guesthouse, but the chapel remains consecrated and steeped in legend. Locals—and some visitors—swear that San Pasquale still answers prayers. One recent retreat group claims that every woman present found love within a year of visiting the chapel. Coincidence? Or the enduring power of a saint whose bones rest quietly behind this villa's door?
