China benefits increasingly from the return of scientists trained abroad

RTP Notícias2 September 2026 at 07:20

The number of Chinese scientists returning from abroad increased more than 40 times in less than two decades, representing a significant phenomenon of qualified talent returning to China.

This reverse migratory flow is increasingly contributing to China's presence in elite scientific research worldwide.

The phenomenon was documented and analyzed in a study recently released by Stanford University, which tracked the evolution of this trend over almost 20 years.

First glimpse of dark matter? Unexplained signal leaves physicists excited

The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, the world's most sensitive in the hunt for dark matter, detected an unexplained signal in an old mine in South Dakota, the international collaboration announced this Tuesday in Japan. The signal may be just background noise or have an as yet unknown explanation, but it could also represent the first direct interaction of dark matter ever observed. Physicists are excited about the possibility of being one step closer to confirming the existence of this invisible substance that makes up about 27% of the universe.

What can a messy room reveal about someone's personality? See what psychologists say

Psychological studies have analyzed how personal environments, such as messy rooms and offices, may be associated with certain personality traits. A study conducted by psychologist Sam Gosling from the University of Texas at Austin, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, showed that photographs, books, decorative objects, and the distribution of belongings can reveal information about who occupies that space. However, the results do not allow concluding that a disorganized person is necessarily lazy, irresponsible, or undisciplined. Although a messy room may say something about the habits of whoever lives there, it is not enough to completely define someone's personality.

Can cats drink milk? Veterinarian explains the risks and what is appropriate for them to eat

The idea that cats can drink milk is a myth without veterinary support. Veterinarian Javier Guaita explains that cow's milk is not suitable for felines at any stage of life, because as they age, cats produce less lactase — the enzyme responsible for digesting lactose — until reaching minimal levels in adulthood. This difficulty in digestion can cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea and vomiting.
