Ancient Empire Brewed Psychedelic Beer to Build Alliances

Science /

A recent study in Antiquity reveals that an ancient South American civilization intentionally spiked a beer-like drink with psychoactive drugs to strengthen social bonds and expand its influence. This discovery provides some of the clearest archaeological evidence of ancient societies using hallucinogens for both recreation and social cohesion. The Wari civilization, which thrived in the […]

Study Finds Menstrual Cycles Have No Impact on Women’s Cognitive Abilities

Healthcare, Medicine /

A meta-analysis of over 100 studies found no evidence that a woman’s cognitive abilities fluctuate throughout her menstrual cycle. While conditions such as PMDD, dysmenorrhea, and endometriosis can be severely debilitating—especially when individuals lack social support—ordinary menstruation does not seem to affect cognitive function as commonly believed. Historical Bias and Research Gaps Research in this

Onion-skin Dye May Find Use In Greener UV-Protected Solar Cells

Environmental Science /

Solar cells frequently encounter high levels of harmful ultraviolet light because they capture the maximum possible sunlight.A new eco-friendly coating could protect them from these UV rays, using its active ingredient extracted from onion skin. Currently, manufacturers apply clear films made from petroleum-based materials to the surface of solar cells for UV protection.However, the extraction

Quantum “Tornadoes” in Semimetal Could Revolutionize Electronics

Physics /

Physicists in Germany have demonstrated that electron inertia can create “tornadoes” inside a quantum semimetal, revealing a new layer of complexity in electron motion. Electrons rarely stay still, and their movements can take unexpected forms. In tantalum arsenide, a quantum material, researchers found that electrons form vortices—not in physical space, but in momentum space, a

From robots to humans, good decisions require diverse perspectives.

Robotics /

When groups make decisions—whether humans, robots, or animals—not all members contribute equally. Some have more reliable information, while others hold greater social influence. A new study from the Cluster of Excellence Science of Intelligence highlights how uncertainty and diversity shape collective decision-making. Published in Scientific Reports, the research by Vito Mengers, Mohsen Raoufi, Oliver Brock,
