Apple got 49% revenue share globally during Q2 2026, reaching a record high. Counterpoint Research said, “Apple’s growth was led by the sustained demand for the iPhone 17 lineup.” While global smartphone shipments fell, total revenue grew 7% to $109 billion as many people bought premium phones with higher selling prices.
A new study explores reflective interdisciplinarity by integrating biology and philosophy to study individualization. Researchers said this approach involves deeply immersive and cooperative processes. The article showed how communicative choices and institutional conditions shape scientific results. This self-reflexive analysis provides a valuable way to understand how different fields work together.
Researchers synthesized TiO2/ZnO nanocomposites to remove metronidazole from water, achieving a 94.92% degradation rate. They used machine learning to predict efficiency, finding that support vector regression worked best. The study showed that reaction time and pH levels were the most important factors for cleaning these harmful antibiotics from the environment.
Spider-Man: Brand New Day opened across India on July 30. The film revives interest in how spider silk holds a person swinging between buildings. Scientists said dragline silk is five times stronger than steel by weight. It also has toughness, allowing it to stretch far before it finally breaks.
Wind turbine blades often fail due to hidden stress inside their composite materials. Researchers now use mechanophores to map these tiny, buried stress fields before cracks appear. This new method showed how fibres interact under load. These insights help engineers design stronger, safer materials for wind turbines and aerospace structures.
Lethal irradiation helps cell therapy succeed in treating osteogenesis imperfecta. Researchers said, "Lethal irradiation remained the most effective pretreatment for SSPCs engraftment." They found that changing the bone marrow environment allows donor cells to grow better. High bone turnover also helped these cells form healthy bone in the mice models.
A 245-million-year-old marine reptile fossil found in China preserves a rare digestive tract and its last fish meal. Researchers said the specimen, Austronaga minuta, showed a simple stomach. Dr Nick Fraser noted, "Austronaga had only a single stomach chamber, suggesting that this more complex, two-part structure evolved later in archosaur."
Archaeologists identified a room within the Roman villa of Fuente Álamo in Córdoba as the oldest known library on the Iberian Peninsula. Researchers from the University of Granada used architectural analysis to show the space was not a shrine. This discovery adds a new chapter to Roman literary culture history.
Australia’s pink lakes look like strawberry milkshake from the sky. These vibrant waters get their colour from tiny organisms that survive in extreme salt. Scientists said, "The algae was there, but it was" not the only cause. These unique ecosystems now help researchers understand how life survives in harsh environments.
JAXA and ISRO scientists met to finalise the mission interface for the Chandrayaan-5 partnership. The government of India gave approval for the mission on March 10, 2025. ISRO said, "ISRO, apart from developing the lunar lander, is also responsible for developing a few scientific instruments for the mission." It explores water.
An international team analysed ancient DNA from over 500 woolly mammoths to study Ice Age human sites. The study, published in Current Biology, showed that these sites are overwhelmingly female. This confirmed that human hunting, not natural die-offs, shaped these bone accumulations. Researchers also found a rare genetic condition in one.
India is tracking the strengthening El Nino using a vast network of satellites, buoys, and floats. The Ministry of Earth Sciences said the country now operates 19 subsurface moorings and 12 tsunami buoys. This infrastructure helps scientists monitor ocean conditions to improve monsoon forecasts and provide early warnings for hazards.
