**This Alga Rewrites the Rules of Photosynthesis To Survive in the Dark** By Osaka Metropolitan University - Published on 31 March 2026 A hidden rearrangement of ordinary chlorophyll allows certain algae to access light others cannot. Life in dim environments pushes photosynthetic organisms to their limits. In places where sunlight is scarce or filtered, some species have evolved ways to use parts of the light spectrum that most others cannot. A new study from Osaka Metropolitan University [...] Read more: https://scitechdaily.com/this-alga-rewrites-the-rules-of-photosynthesis-to-survive-in-the-dark/ #Algae #Photosynthesis #Microbiology #Biotechnology #Photobiology #Biology #Algae #Biochemistry

**Are Humans Naturally Violent? Scientists Challenge Long-Held Assumptions** By Callum Thomas, University of Lincoln - Published on 31 March 2026 Mild aggression and lethal violence evolved separately, according to research across 100 primate species. The study challenges the idea that everyday conflict leads to deadly outcomes. New findings from the University of Lincoln in the UK are challenging a widely held belief about the evolution of human violence. The research suggests that routine, low-level aggression [...] Read more: https://scitechdaily.com/are-humans-naturally-violent-scientists-challenge-long-held-assumptions/ #HumanNature #ViolenceResearch #EvolutionaryPsychology #Neuroscience #SocialCognitiveScience #Biology #BehavioralScience #Evolution

**Physicists Discover Magnetic Mechanism That Challenges a 300-Year-Old Law of Friction** By University of Konstanz - Published on 30 March 2026 Researchers found friction can occur without contact, driven by magnetic dynamics, and does not always increase with load. The effect could enable controllable, wear-free technologies. Researchers at the University of Konstanz have identified a new type of sliding friction that occurs without any physical contact. Instead of surfaces rubbing together, the resistance to motion comes [...] Read more: https://scitechdaily.com/physicists-discover-magnetic-mechanism-that-challenges-a-300-year-old-law-of-friction/ #Physics #Magnetism #Friction #ContactlessFriction #WearFree #Physics #Friction #Magnetism

**For the First Time, ChatGPT Has Solved an Unproven Math Problem in Geometry** By Frans Steenhoudt, Free University of Brussels - Published on 30 March 2026 New research has found ChatGPT-5.2 can generate original mathematical proofs, introducing “vibe-proving” as a new AI reasoning method. AI accelerates discovery, but human verification remains necessary. Researchers at VUB’s Data Analytics Lab report that commercial language models can produce original mathematical proofs. In their study, the team shows that OpenAI’s large language model ChatGPT-5.2 (Thinking) [...] Read more: https://scitechdaily.com/for-the-first-time-chatgpt-has-solved-an-unproven-math-problem-in-geometry/ #AI #ChatGPT #ArtificialIntelligence #MachineLearning #DeepLearning #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence #ChatGPT

**NASA Just Found Something Strange Inside Asteroid Bennu Sample** By Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences - Published on 30 March 2026 Scientists studying samples from the asteroid Bennu have uncovered a surprisingly complex chemical landscape at the tiniest scales. A new study shows that, at an extremely small scale, organic material and minerals inside the asteroid Bennu are organized into three clearly different chemical groupings. These patterns provide important clues about how liquid water once altered [...] Read more: https://scitechdaily.com/nasa-just-found-something-strange-inside-asteroid-bennu-sample/ #NASA #AsteroidBennu #AsteroidSample #SpaceExploration #SpaceScience #Space #Asteroid #AsteroidBennu

**This Popular Supplement May Actually Slow Biological Aging, Scientists Reveal** By Springer Nature - Published on 30 March 2026 A randomized clinical trial found that daily multivitamin–multimineral supplements slightly slowed some DNA-based markers of biological aging in older adults. A daily multivitamin–multimineral supplement may do more than fill nutritional gaps. In a study of 958 older adults, researchers found that two years of daily supplementation modestly slowed changes in certain DNA-based markers linked to [...] Read more: https://scitechdaily.com/this-popular-supplement-may-actually-slow-biological-aging-scientists-reveal/ #AgingResearch #BiologicalAging #Longevity #DNA #ClinicalTrial #Health #Aging #Longevity

**Study of 6 Million People Could Rewrite How We Understand Mental Health** By Texas A&M University - Published on 30 March 2026 A massive genetic analysis of more than 6 million people is revealing new clues about why mental health disorders frequently overlap. An international group of scientists has uncovered new evidence explaining why many mental health disorders tend to occur together.
