Higher IQ Linked to Heavy Drinking Habits

Higher IQ levels in high school students are associated with increased chances of moderate or heavy alcohol consumption in adulthood. The findings suggest that cognitive ability may influence drinking habits.

Seven New Frogs Named After Iconic Star Trek Captains

Researchers identified seven new species of tree frogs in Madagascar that produce unique, high-pitched whistling calls. These frogs communicate in a way that helps them stand out amid the noise of their fast-flowing stream habitats.

Older Adults Less Likely To Lose Their Cool

Researchers found that the actual temperature at which people felt uncomfortable, often negatively affected their mood. However, older adults became more uncomfortable in high heat more quickly, but it did not affect their mood as much.

New, Selectively Bred Corals Have Better Heat Tolerance

A new study has shown that selective breeding can lead to a rise in coral heat tolerance, helping them to survive intense marine heatwaves.

Flatter Nanocrystals Could Pave Brighter Future for Solar Panels, TV Screens and More

Researchers found that the shape of zinc sulfide nanocrystals influences how well molecules (ligands) adhere to their surfaces. Flatter nanoplatelets allow for tighter ligand attachment, leading to advancements in technologies like LEDs.
