An expedition that drilled into the sea floor near the famous Greek island found signs of a gargantuan blast 520,000 years ago and more recent eruptions.
Networks filled with self-propelled fluids display meandering patterns that have been shown to follow rules similar to those of sudoku puzzles — offering design principles for microfluidic devices, and the possibility of ‘active fluid’ logic.

A UNESCO report laments the lack of progress in making science more collaborative. Greater awareness could aid efforts to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
A feasibility study on the Future Circular Collider identifies where and how the machine could be built — but its construction is far from a done deal.
What scientists think of brain-computer interface company Neuralink’s first human trial. Plus, an AI system learnt language by seeing the world through a baby’s eyes and how ChatGPT could sway climate-change deniers.
A long-term fish experiment reveals how a mechanism called density dependence, in which the population growth rate slows as the number of individuals rises, affects population dynamics on time scales relevant for ecology and evolution.
Why birds sing intensely in a dawn chorus during the early morning has long been debated. Evidence gathered from observing birds in the wild offers a fresh perspective on what might drive this phenomenon.
Evidence from marine sponges suggests that the planet has already passed global warming milestone. Plus, text revealed from inside a scroll burnt by Vesuvius and record demand for JWST telescope time.
