Swedish schoolchildren slightly prefer less meat per recipe to more all-vegetarian days
Swedish researchers surveyed 1,268 pupils, who were somewhat more open to less meat per recipe than to more all-vegetarian days. That favours kitchens trimming meat inside familiar dishes, on the evidence of what pupils said in one municipality.

Chalmers University of Technology researchers report an AI system that designs and interprets its own brewer's yeast experiments in a closed loop. The account does not say how often its hypotheses held up, the figure a lab head needs before planning around one.

Spin waves imaged inside a nano-oscillator launch harder from one edge than the other
A Gothenburg and HZB team filmed magnetization dynamics inside a CoFeB spin Hall nano-oscillator at BESSY II. Simulations matched the movies only after grain boundaries, weakened anisotropy and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction were added.

A six-year follow-up of Swedish pupils traces peer sexual harassment back to Grade 4
Aziz-Kaan Donmez followed the same children annually from Grades 4 to 9 and found reported victimization climbing until Grade 7, with boys affected as often as girls and no clean line between those who harass and those harassed.

Fossil-record rates put an early speciation burst at the start of the archosauromorph radiation
An international team reconstructed speciation and extinction rates for the reptile group that produced dinosaurs and crocodiles. The shape matches what family trees have shown, and three hypotheses still compete to explain the slowdown.

The Arctic's 10-inch laboratory is losing its control condition
Alaska's North Slope tundra stays small because winter punishes anything above the snow. That ceiling is lifting by roughly 0.7C a decade, and the baseline it held cannot be collected twice.
