A curated list of other prominent stories from this day.
A large-scale test of gravity across galaxy clusters found behavior consistent with predictions from Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity over hundreds of millions of light-years. The result weakens some modified-gravity theories and supports dark matter as the leading explanation for the universe’s missing mass.

Mouse research suggests that male sex hormones can alter nerve endings in the lungs, potentially explaining why asthma symptoms ease for some boys around puberty.

A high-resolution map of the hippocampus identifies changes associated with reduced production of new neurons in people with depression and suggests possible therapeutic pathways.

An addendum reports that sea levels used in many coastal hazard assessments are substantially higher than previously assumed. The correction indicates that existing evaluations may underestimate exposure to flooding and other coastal risks.

An investigation identified more than 18,000 questionable images in antibody catalogues from 15 companies. The findings raise concerns about the reliability of commercial antibodies used across biomedical research.

Researchers are using animal-focused OnlyFans accounts, including marmot channels, to raise money for scientific work as US federal research funding faces uncertainty. The effort has also spawned a marmot-themed cryptocurrency.

Astronomers identified the first stellar stream from a globular cluster beyond the Milky Way. Because the stream follows the gravity of its host galaxy, its structure allowed researchers to estimate the amount and distribution of surrounding dark matter.
8:19 AMScienceDaily
Researchers reconstructed a complete three-dimensional image of a molecule's wavefunction by combining advanced photoelectron measurements with new algorithms. The technique resolved the molecular orbital of a nanometer-scale organic molecule, including features smaller than the spacing between its carbon atoms.
5:55 AMScienceDaily
NASA has cleared the Roman Space Telescope for final launch preparations, with a targeted August 30 liftoff aboard SpaceX's Falcon Heavy. The observatory will study cosmic expansion, the history of the universe, and distant exoplanets.
12:45 AMScienceDaily
The Artemis II crew will receive the Congressional Space Medal of Honor after completing the first crewed journey beyond the Moon in more than 50 years. The 10-day Orion mission also carried them farther from Earth than any previous human spaceflight.

A large-scale test of gravity across galaxy clusters found behavior consistent with predictions from Newtonian and Einsteinian gravity over hundreds of millions of light-years. The result weakens some modified-gravity theories and supports dark matter as the leading explanation for the universe’s missing mass.
The evidence narrows the space for alternatives that seek to explain cosmic observations by changing

The result reinforces the standard cosmological model while making competing explanations for dark matter harder to sustain.
Summary
Mouse research suggests that male sex hormones can alter nerve endings in the lungs, potentially explaining why asthma symptoms ease for some boys around puberty.
The key shift is a possible biological link between puberty and the lung nerves that
