An unusually large brain may be the first sign of autism — and visible as early as the first trimester, according to a recent study conducted by UCSD. Some children with profound autism face lifelong challenges with social, language, and cognitive skills, including the inability to speak. In contrast, others exhibit milder symptoms that may improve over time.

MIT researchers have developed a new model to predict glacier flow by studying microscopic defects in ice, revealing significant variations in how ice responds to environmental stresses. This model helps better predict the rate of sea-level rise by capturing the nuanced behaviors of ice sheets, particularly in Antarctica, enhancing predictions...

Tiny Cracks, Global Impact: MIT Uncovers How Microscopic Ice Defects Shape Glaciers

Around 183 million years ago, during the Toarcian Oceanic Anoxic Event (T-OAE), volcanic eruptions in what is now South Africa released approximately 20,500 gigatons of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere and oceans over a span of 300 to 500 thousand years. This significant influx of CO2 led to severe oxygen depletion in marine environments, resulting in a widespread extinction of marine life.

Carbon Cataclysm: Scientists Shed New Light on Ancient Apocalypse That Affected the Entire Planet

Limestone from the Mercato San Severino area in southern Italy provides evidence of historical oceanic oxygen depletion. Researchers have uncovered a significant clue within Italian limestone that sheds light on a mass marine life extinction from millions of years ago. This finding could also offer insights into how current oceanic conditions might be affected by oxygen depletion and climate change.

New research has identified crucial genes in broccoli that enhance its cancer-fighting compounds, promising healthier Brassica crop varieties. A comprehensive genomic analysis of broccoli has uncovered the genetic basis for producing glucosinolates (GSLs), substances known for their health advantages, such as anti-cancer properties. Researchers constructed a high-quality chromosome-level genome and pinpointed essential genes responsible for GSL synthesis. This research provides valuable knowledge for subsequent genetic research and the cultivation of Brassica crops with improved nutritional profiles, setting the stage for enhanced health benefits from these commonly eaten vegetables.
