A new Science Advances study finds that male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes have more complex auditory processes than females of the species.

Brain imaging identified more neuronal clusters of greater complexity in males, likely linked to male attraction to female flight tones.

As artificial intelligence (AI) tools shake up the scientific workflow, Sam Rodriques dreams of a more systemic transformation. His start-up company, FutureHouse in San Francisco, California, aims to build an ‘AI scientist’ that can command the entire research pipeline, from hypothesis generation to paper production.

Today, his team took a step in that direction, releasing what it calls the first true ‘reasoning model’ specifically designed for scientific tasks. The model, called ether0, is a large language model (LLM) that’s purpose-built for chemistry, which it learnt simply by taking a test of around 500,000 questions. Following instructions in plain English, ether0 can spit out formulae for drug-like molecules that satisfy a range of criteria.

NASA released more details about its proposed fiscal year 2026 budget May 30, canceling dozens of science missions and cutting thousands of jobs.
