A new organ behind the nose: tubarial glands. For centuries textbooks claimed three major salivary glands; they were wrong. In 2020, Dutch researchers using PSMA PET-CT for headāandāneck cancer patients saw a glow in the nasopharynx. No textbook marked a salivary gland there. They checked 100 consecutive patientsāsame structure in every case. In two cadavers they found a pair about 3.9 cm long over the tubarium. They named them tubarial glands. Their job: moisten the upper throat and nasal cavity during talking, swallowing, and breathingāa region that dries after radiation. Radiation oncologists had never been told to spare this spot. Re-analysis of 723 plans showed more radiation to the tubarial region worsened toxicity, swallowing, saliva, and dry mouth. A blind spot worsened outcomes for years. Now these glands exist, and new radiotherapy protocols can shield them, helping thousands of headāandāneck cancer patients recover. #TubarialGlands #Radiotherapy CurioSpark

A very rare 1970 Citroƫn Type HY telescopic and expandable van modified by the French coachbuilder FILCA.
This unique vehicle features a patented modular body system designed by FILCA where the central section slides inside the two outer ends to double the van's total length when parked.
To support the extra weight and length of the extended module, the chassis is equipped with a standard front axle and two rear axles.
This clever design was built primarily for street markets, mobile field hospitals, or compact camping setups. The main motor cabin could actually be unhitched from the rear trailer module by locking the rear axle, allowing the owner to leave the living quarters stationary and use the front cab independently for transport.

Mitochondria may slow or reverse aging. Once seen as cellular powerhouses, they decline with age. A study in Nature Communications shows why: falling phosphatidylcholine, a key lipid, impairs mitochondrial flexibility. Without it, mitochondria canāt merge or adapt, causing energy loss and accelerating aging. This decline is reversible. In aging worms and stressed human cells, adding phosphatidylcholine or choline restored youthful mitochondrial function. While no supplement yet reverses aging in humans, protecting mitochondria is a promising path for fighting age-related diseases.

An Apple AirTag in a rare book exposed Amazonās secret AI site in Las Vegas, where uncommon books are received, disassembled, scanned, and destroyed to train AI. Reporters from 404 Media and a rare-book dealer traced shipments to a restricted warehouse, revealing a process that severs bindings, digitizes pages, then discards originals. A team called VGT3 runs this operation, raising ethical and legal concerns over copyrighted works copied and erased without consent. Amazon says books are legally bought to improve services, but critics decry the systematic destruction of physical knowledge for AI gains. The findings spotlight tech firmsā lengths to obtain pre-2022 texts free of AI contamination. As rare books vanish, debates grow over copyright, ownership, and the loss of human-recorded knowledge. Full investigation: Maiberg, E. (2026). We Tracked a Shipment of Rare Books. It Ended at an Amazon AI Training Facility. 404 Media

India's clean energy capacity has overtaken fossil fuels for the first time.
According to the latest data from Ember and Global Energy Monitor, clean energy sources now total 331.7 gigawatts of installed capacity, compared with 302.0 gigawatts from fossil fuels. This marks the first occasion on which non-fossil sources have held the majority share of Indiaās utility-scale power capacity.
Solar power accounts for the largest portion of the clean energy total, reaching approximately 211 gigawatts. Recent additions have been rapid: between 2025 and mid-2026 India installed nearly 80 gigawatts of clean capacity while fossil capacity grew by only about 5.4 gigawatts.
Although coal plants continue to supply the majority of actual electricity generation because of their ability to operate continuously, the shift in installed capacity represents a significant milestone in Indiaās energy transition.

Mushrooms evolved psilocybin twice via different paths. A new study shows Psilocybe uses a known four-enzyme pathway, while unrelated Inocybe species use different genes and enzymesārevealing molecular convergent evolution. Despite no shared ancestry, both produce identical compounds. Why fungi make psilocybin remains unclearāpossibly for defense or signaling. Its repeated evolution suggests strong selective advantage. The discovery boosts biotech potential: two distinct pathways offer dual genetic toolkits for cheaper, scalable microbial production in bioreactorsākey as psilocybin advances in clinical trials for depression and other conditions. Nature solved this puzzle twice, millions of years apart; weāre uncovering its redundant ingenuity.
