A meta-analysis of 52 studies involving 6,485 participants examined the body composition and physical fitness of transgender and cisgender women and found that although transgender women generally had greater lean mass — indicating greater muscle mass — they did not show greater physical capacity, such as strength or aerobic fitness, than cisgender women, clearly refuting the logic behind blanket bans on transgender women in sports.

Researchers at the University of Surrey found that combining offshore wind turbines with tidal and wave energy devices on shared platforms can raise electricity output by up to 70%. The hybrid approach also lowers construction costs and improves stability, creating a steadier flow of clean power for coastal nations while reducing impacts on marine ecosystems.

A previously unknown species of ancient marine mollusc has been identified off the South Korean coast. Chitons have remained virtually unchanged for the last 300 million years and have a shell composed of eight interlocking plates that resemble suits of armor. The discovery once again highlights how many wonders are still waiting to be found.

Innovative research shows that food containers featuring large printed eyes successfully deter seagulls from snatching meals, using their own instincts to keep our snacks safe. Eye-like markings have been used before to exclude birds from certain areas, such as keeping seabirds out of fishing nets and raptors out of airports.
