This species is considered one of the most acrobatic in the world. Their arms are proportionally longer than any other ape, which allows them to easily swing wherever they want.

Scientists have taken the complete wiring of a real fruit fly's brain, rebuilt it inside a computer, plugged it into a virtual body, and watched it start moving on its own. No one programmed it how to walk. It simply knew.

This is being called the world's first embodied whole brain emulation. To understand why it is so remarkable, start with the map. Over years of painstaking work, researchers created the FlyWire connectome, a complete wiring diagram of an adult fruit fly's brain, charting all of its roughly 140,000 neurons and around 50 million connections between them. Think of it as the full circuit board of a living mind.

A team, building on that map, turned the static diagram into a working simulation. They modeled how signals flow through those neurons, then connected this digital brain to a physics based virtual fly body, complete with jointed legs and realistic movement. The result was a closed loop. Sensory information flows into the digital brain, activity ripples through the recreated neural circuitry, motor commands flow out, and the simulated body acts on them. Perception to action, running entirely in software.

And it worked. The virtual fly walks and grooms in ways that closely resemble the real insect, with the underlying model predicting the fly's behavior with around 95 percent accuracy. It behaves like a fly not because it was trained to, but because it inherited the fly's actual brain wiring.

Now the honest part. This is not a conscious insect trapped in a computer, and it is not proof we can upload minds. It is a functional recreation of a brain's structure, an extraordinary scientific tool, not a living soul in a box. The startup behind it, Eon Systems, next hopes to emulate a mouse brain, and dreams of eventually reaching human scale, though that remains a distant and deeply uncertain goal.

Still, watching a digital brain take its first steps is a genuinely historic moment. Does it fascinate you, or does the idea of one day emulating a human brain feel a little unsettling?

Researchers have long known ambient temperatures cause some species of amphibians to reverse sex.

In the case of the agile frog, genetically female frogs take on male characteristics at elevated temperatures—including the ability to sire offspring.

In a new #SciencePodcast🎙️, evolutionary ecologist Veronika Bókony talks about research that examined what happens to the offspring of sex-reversed agile frogs, which will probably make up more of the species’ population as the planet warms.

⚡️ Light Just Entered a Strange New State

Scientists have achieved something that sounds almost impossible: they created a supersolid state using light.

Italian researchers trapped photons under carefully controlled conditions near absolute zero. Instead of behaving like ordinary light, the photons formed an ordered pattern while also showing properties linked to superfluidity—a strange quantum state known as a supersolid.

Supersolids were previously created with ultracold atoms. Now, researchers have shown that light itself can display this unusual form of quantum matter.
The discovery could eventually help scientists explore new technologies, including advanced quantum devices and photonic systems.

Light may have no rest mass—but under the right conditions, it can behave in ways that challenge our everyday understanding of matter.

Happy first rescueversary to darling Pips! Our plucky little giraffe folded right into Kaluku life – this first clip was taken shortly after her rescue – and remains just as comfortably settled today.

Her rescue was quite an ordeal. After losing her mother, Pips spent several days fending for herself, furtively appearing for water before evaporating back into the bush. By the time we caught up with her, she was running on her very last reserves.

A year on, ‘Pipsi’, as she's knows to her Keepers, is thriving – and there is so much more to come. 

Adopt Pips and support her journey back to the wild: https://t.co/PhHUL6MgVg

Queen of the Dust Hill is a highly coveted title among Umani’s young girls, Amali and Mwana. The pair jostle and scramble to the top, where the first to arrive plants herself firmly and refuses to budge. Today, Amali took the crown – and looked mighty pleased with herself!

With her dainty little tusks and distinctive trunk, Amali is easy to recognise. The tip was severed by a poacher’s snare, but she has adapted marvellously and shines among the Umani herd.

Amali means ‘hope’ in Swahili, and she is certainly a symbol of hope after such difficult beginnings. Read her story and support her through adoption: https://t.co/HzQtkjCRsp

Iceland doesn't need sunshine to impress. 💙

This reel rounds up five spots worth visiting even on a grey day: Arnastapi village, Stokksnes peninsula, Fjaðrárgljúfur canyon, Gljúfrabúi waterfall, and Gufufoss waterfall.

Fog and mist just add to the drama here. Save this for your next Iceland trip.

Goodbye measurements… AI is reinventing China’s fashion industry!

CHINA has developed technologies that use artificial intelligence to capture full body dimensions from a single photo, suggest accurate sizes, and recommend suitable designs and colors — all the way to supporting tailoring and production workflows.

AI tools also allow designers to modify styles, test fabrics and patterns virtually, and generate model images before producing physical samples, reducing trial cuts, fabric consumption, and overall waste.

AI and smart cutting machines are opening a new chapter in clothing manufacturing.
