Why Valentine’s roses wilt — and how UT Arlington scientists are trying to stop it

While Valentine’s Day is a time to celebrate love, for the 250 million roses and other floral bouquets produced for the holiday, it means a slow death. That countdown is driven in part by ethylene, a natural plant hormone that speeds up aging in cut flowers. Researchers at the University of Texas at Arlington are testing new ways to blunt ethylene’s effects, with the goal of helping bouquets and fresh produce last longer. Here’s what to know.What is ethylene?Plants produce ethylene — an odorless, colorless gas — as they age, when damaged and in response to shifts in temperature, sunlight and other environmental stressors.

What to Expect from Today’s PlayStation State of Play

A lengthy, 60-plus minutes Sony State of Play is heading our way this Thursday, February 12, and promises new looks at “third-party and indie games headed to PS5, along with the latest from teams at PlayStation Studios.” So, what upcoming games can we expect to see fresh reveals for and gameplay of? Well, here’s what we think is likely to show up, as well as a few out-there guesses.ExclusivesSeeing as it's shaping up to be PlayStation’s biggest game of 2026, you’d perhaps have expected Wolverine to show up in Thursday’s stream.

Last time I checked, February was in Winter, so maybe we’ll have to wait a little lon...

EU looks to poach US scientists amid research funding cuts

European efforts to poach top US scientists in the wake of the White House’s cuts to research funding are paying off. Paris announced grant awards to 46 academics, with 41 relocating from the US, under its Choose France for Science initiative; eight are from Columbia University, which has lost hundreds of millions in government funding. The EU has a comparable plan, which has also had success. Research funding applications from US-based researchers have more than doubled since President Donald Trump’s second term began. UK institutions have also seen a spike in US applications, and Beijing has been a beneficiary, too: CNN counted at least 85 scientists leaving the US for China last year, most of them Chinese-born.

The evolving science of Long COVID and its far-reaching economic and social impacts

Image: © Daisy-Daisy | iStock Emily Taylor, President and Chief Executive Officer of Solve M.E., discusses the significant socioeconomic burden of Long COVID, highlighting advances in research that can improve understanding of Long COVID and enable targeted interventions and better treatment protocols Long COVID is an increasingly serious burden to the US economy. Even by conservative calculations, existing cases of Long COVID could cost up to $6.6 billion (Bartsch et al., 2025).  Breakthroughs in Long COVID research shape how we understand, mitigate, and reduce the socioeconomic impact of the disease. Knowing who is more likely to develop Long Covid means interventions can be targeted — potentially reducing the proportion of people impacted. Improved understanding of the mecha...

Here’s when the Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold may be back in stock

Samsung's first dual-folding device, the Galaxy Z TriFold, sold out in minutes in both Korea and the US, despite its eye-watering $2,899 price, due to extremely low stock levels.
