- 1MEPs delay vote on EU pesticides bill amid growing backlash▼MEPs pause a vote on an EU pesticides bill, as UN experts join scientists in opposition to Big Pharma. A backlash is bui
Members of the European Parliament have paused a vote on an EU 'omnibus' bill that would make it easier to authorise and use pesticides across the bloc. UN experts have joined scientists in opposing the measure, and no new voting date has been set. Critics say the bill would weaken protections, and opposition appears to be mounting against the proposed loosening of pesticide rules.
- 2Mars's oddest cloud may be even stranger than thought▼Mars's oddest cloud may be even odder than we thought
The European Space Agency's Mars Express mission has reported new findings on the long, snake-like cloud that repeatedly forms over the Arsia Mons volcano on Mars. The elongated cloud, which can stretch for over a thousand kilometres at dawn, appears to behave in ways scientists had not previously modelled, prompting fresh analysis of how Martian topography and atmospheric winds drive the phenomenon.
- 3Study finds 93% of Australia's Indigenous population lost in 73 years▼Scientists reveal 93% of Australia's Indigenous population was lost in just 73 years
Scientists have concluded that 93% of Australia's Indigenous population was lost within just 73 years following European colonisation. The finding points to the extraordinary scale of demographic collapse in the country's colonial era, combining disease, violence and dispossession. The research is drawing attention to calls for greater recognition of this history in Australia's national conversation.

Google DeepMind is granting around 200 European researchers access to its science-focused AI models. The move opens tools previously kept in-house to academic scientists across Europe, aiming to accelerate research in fields the models can support. The announcement was reported by The Next Web, drawing attention to how leading AI labs are broadening external access to advanced research systems.
- 5US, EU and Brics urged to scrutinise glyphosate health risks▼United States, European Union, Brics must urgently scrutinize Glyphosate and its carcinogenic impact on h
A call has been issued urging the United States, the European Union and Brics nations to urgently examine glyphosate, the widely used herbicide, over its potential carcinogenic impact on human health. Glyphosate has long been debated by regulators and scientists, and renewed scrutiny demands put the chemical back at the centre of global health and agriculture policy discussions.
- 6Solar Orbiter traces origin of magnetic switchbacks▼Solar Orbiter tracks origin of mysterious magnetic switchbacks
ESA's Solar Orbiter has helped determine the origin of magnetic switchbacks, sudden zig-zag deflections in the solar wind's magnetic field that have puzzled scientists for decades. The spacecraft's data point to their source near the Sun, offering new insight into how the solar wind is generated and how magnetic energy travels through the heliosphere.

Gianluca Sbardella opened the third day of ICBS 2026, introducing the EFMC, the European Federation for Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology, along with the EFMC Young Scientists Network. The session highlights the federation's role in supporting early-career researchers in medicinal chemistry and chemical biology. Attendees shared remarks from the conference as the meeting moves into its later stages.

Political scientist Nicholas Grossman argues that the "Party of Reagan" has the United States siding with Russian aggression against NATO allies and against a European democratic partner in a brutal war. He says the whole Republican Party bears responsibility, contending that if it did not support the policy, it would impeach and remove a president he accuses of blatantly breaking with American commitments.
