New Research Sheds Light on Why Our Solar System Lacks a Mini-Neptune

This is an artist’s concept of the exoplanet GJ 9827d, the smallest exoplanet where water vapor has been detected in the atmosphere. The planet could be an example of potential planets with water-rich atmospheres elsewhere in our galaxy. With only about twice Earth’s diameter, the planet orbits the red dwarf star GJ 9827. Two inner planets in the system are on the left. The background stars are plotted as they would be seen to the unaided eye looking back toward our Sun. The Sun is too faint to be seen. The blue star at…

Reckitt Benckiser Sheds Nearly $7 Billion in Market Value After Infant-Formula Verdict

The rout came after it was reported that an Illinois jury ordered the company’s Mead Johnson unit to pay $60 million in compensation related to the death of a premature baby fed Enfamil.

New Research Sheds Light on Stem Cell Repair Mechanisms

Hair follicle stem cells (green) mobilize and expand (white) to help repair the skin’s barrier by differentiating into epidermal lineages (red). Credit: Robin Chemers Neustein Laboratory of Mammalian Cell Biology and Development at The Rockefeller UniversityWhen a child falls off her bike and scrapes her knee, skin stem cells rush to the rescue, growing new epidermis to cover the wound. However, only a portion of these stem cells, which eventually repair the damage, are typically assigned the task of replenishing the…

Can World Hunger Be Eradicated by 2030? New Research Sheds Light on Key Puzzle Piece

Using the regime complex concept, a researcher sheds new light on the broader institutional and legal framework influencing the governance of international food assistance, showing that different regimes take part in its shaping.World hunger is growing at an alarming rate, with prolonged conflicts, climate change, and COVID-19 exacerbating the problem. In 2022, the World Food Programme helped a record 158 million people. On this trajectory, the United Nations’ goal to eradicate hunger by 2030 appears increasingly…

NASA’s Juno mission sheds new light on Jupiter moon Europa’s oxygen production rate

NASA's Juno mission to Jupiter has revealed intriguing insights into the rate of oxygen production on Europa, one of the gas giant's moons. Published in Nature Astronomy on March 4, the study indicates that the rate of oxygen production at Europa is considerably lower than previously thought. Utilizing data collected by Juno's Jovian Auroral Distributions Experiment (JADE) instrument, scientists estimated the production rate to be around 26 pounds (12 kilograms) per second, challenging earlier estimates ranging from a…

Black Holes to Quasars, James Webb Space Telescope Sheds Light on Cosmic Evolution

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has potentially unlocked a crucial piece of the cosmic puzzle, shedding light on one of the universe's most enigmatic phenomena - black holes. Contrary to the spotlight typically reserved for the colossal supermassive black holes, a recent discovery suggests that their smaller counterparts, dubbed "baby quasars," might hold the key to unraveling long standing mysteries.Traditionally, supermassive black holes, with masses billions of times those of the sun, steal the cosmic limelight.…

Health, Aging, and Zombie Cells – Mayo Clinic Sheds New Light on Senescence

Senescence, or the state where cells stop growing and release harmful molecules, leads to various age-related diseases, with Mayo Clinic research uncovering the biology behind aging cells and identifying specific biomarkers that can predict health outcomes. A study on “rogue” mitochondria in senescent cells revealed a new phenomenon that could potentially improve health in older adults by reducing tissue inflammation and enhancing vitality.As individuals age, their cells may undergo senescence, a condition in which cell…

Study sheds new light on ancient volcanoes’ environmental impact

Scientists analyzed mercury levels from core samples from the Mochras Farm (Llanbedr) borehole in Wales to estimate how much and how rapidly carbon was released during ancient volcano events in Earth's history. Credit: Stephen Hesselbo Massive volcanic events in Earth's history that released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere frequently correlate with periods of severe environmental change and mass extinctions. A new…

New Research Sheds Light on Moon’s Mysterious Seismic Activity

The epicenter of one of the strongest moonquakes recorded by the Apollo Passive Seismic Experiment was located in the lunar south polar region. However, the exact location of the epicenter could not be accurately determined. A cloud of possible locations (magenta dots and light blue polygon) of the strong shallow moonquake using a relocation algorithm specifically adapted for very sparse seismic networks are distributed near the pole. Blue boxes show locations of proposed Artemis III landing regions. Lobate thrust fault…

Plant seed and fruit analysis from the biblical home of Goliath sheds unprecedented light on Philistine ritual practices

Temple offerings—miniature as well as food serving vessels, and a shell of marine mollusc, Tonna galea found in one of the temples. Credit: Prof. Aren Maeir The enigmatic Philistine culture, which flourished during the Iron Age (ca. 1200–604 BCE), profoundly affected the southern Levant's cultural history, agronomy, and dietary customs. More than a quarter century of excavations at Tell es-Safi/Gath in central Israel,…
