Scientists at the Lux-Zeplin experiment in the United States report a possible signal for dark matter after analyzing data from a collision with an atomic nucleus in a tank of seven tons of xenon 1.5 kilometers below the Earth's surface on June 16, 2023. The result was presented at the Tevpa 2026 conference in Japan on September 1 and has led to over 70 theoretical papers on Arxiv. The signal's probability of being background noise is estimated at 1 in 200, and researchers believe it could be the first glimpse of wimpar or the Higgsino model.

Researchers at Uppsala University are studying the genetic adaptation of Baltic herring to spawning in the brackish waters of the Baltic Sea at the Baltic Waters Fish Laboratory near Oxelösund. They investigate how spring and autumn spawners coordinate spawning based on light, temperature and nutrition, as well as how large-scale trawling threatens local stocks despite increased fishing quotas proposed by ICES ahead of the autumn negotiations.

Researchers at the National Museum of Natural History have for the first time discovered and documented spawning behavior in young pigeon hawks. The behavior follows a clear developmental curve and is believed to function as training for adulthood.
During excavations for the Ostlänken railway project in Tystberga outside Nyköping, archaeologists have discovered a trepanned human skull from the Iron Age. The skull is only part of a cranium and has been placed in a grave other than the original one. The age must be determined by carbon-14 analysis, which can take up to six months.

A new study in Nature Communications shows that the most central land route in the Roman Empire did not go through Rome, but via North Africa, Turkey and Constantinople. The study is based on a digital atlas with almost 300,000 kilometers of roads and questions the image of straight Roman roads.
