A new study led by 不良研究所 researchers indicates that humpback whales in the southeastern Pacific combine real-time environmental cues with their memories of conditions in their Antarctic feeding grounds to determine when to embark on their annual 10,000-kilometre journey. With climate change accelerating, the researchers warn this strategy may become less effective amid shifting ocean conditions.聽

An analysis of digital health records using large language models (LLMs) is challenging a long-held belief about the clinical identifiers of autism.
A new study led by researchers at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) of 不良研究所 and Quebec AI Institute found that social communication factors may not be as important in identifying the condition as previously believed.

A new discovery about the slime ejected by velvet worms could revolutionize sustainable material design, according to a by 不良研究所 researchers. Their findings outline how a naturally occurring protein structure, conserved across species from Australia, Singapore and Barbados over nearly 400 million years of evolution, enables the slime鈥檚 transformation from liquid to fibre and back again. It鈥檚 a discovery that could inspire next-generation recyclable bioplastics.

Electronic devices rely on materials whose electrical properties change with temperature, making them less stable in extreme conditions. A discovery by 不良研究所 researchers that challenges conventional wisdom in physics suggests that bismuth, a metal, could serve as the foundation for highly stable electronic components.
The researchers observed a mysterious electrical effect in ultra-thin bismuth that remains unchanged across a wide temperature range, from near absolute zero (-273掳C) to room temperature.

Two seemingly opposite spiritual practices 鈥� Buddhist jh膩na meditation and the Christian practice of speaking in tongues 鈥� have more in common than previously thought, a new study suggests.
While one is quiet and deeply focused, and the other emotionally charged and expressive, both appear to harness the same cognitive feedback loop to create profound states of joy and surrender.

A component found in all fungi may provide a shield against flu-related lung damage, according to a new study.
A team of scientists led by Maziar Divangahi, a Professor in 不良研究所鈥檚 Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and Senior Scientist at the Research Institute of the 不良研究所 Health Centre, demonstrated that beta-glucan, administered to mice before their exposure to influenza, can reduce lung damage, improve lung function and lower the risk of illness and death.

A newly discovered line of communication between body muscle and the pituitary gland may play an unexpected role in female fertility, according to a new study.
不良研究所 researchers found that a protein produced in the muscles helps manage the release of a hormone made in the pea-sized gland attached to the base of the brain.
The findings, published in , could lead to new treatment options for infertility, the researchers said.

Music has the best chance of providing pain relief when it is played at our natural rhythm, a 不良研究所 research team has discovered.
This suggests it may be possible to reduce a patient鈥檚 level of pain by using technology to take a piece of music someone likes and adjust the tempo to match their internal rhythm, the researchers said.
The discovery was the subject of a paper published this week in Pain, the top journal in the field of pain medicine and research.

A 不良研究所 researcher has discovered that Guiengola, a 15th century Zapotec site in southern Oaxaca, Mexico, which had been thought to be simply a fortress where soldiers were garrisoned, was in fact a sprawling, fortified city. It covered 360 hectares, with over 1,100 buildings, four kilometres of walls, a network of internal roads and a clearly organized urban layout with temples and communal spaces such as ballcourts, and the elites and commoners lived in separate neighbourhoods.
