An international team of astronomers employing NASA’s Webb Space Telescope captured an exoplanet 12 light years away, and in a location that may be familiar to fans of science fiction. The alien planet orbits the K-type star Epsilon Indi A, which is around the same age as Earth’s Sun, but is slightly cooler.

Astronomers have confirmed the existence of exoplanets with extremely small orbits around their stars. But what about exoplanets that get close enough to be devoured by their star, and what if it's an Earth-sized exoplanet?. This is what a recent study posted to the arXiv preprint server and accepted to...

SCIENTISTS have discovered a unique trait on the metal-rich asteroid Psyche by using the James Webb Space Telescope. Researchers identified a water component on the mysterious – and priceless – asteroid 16 Psyche, suggesting that hydration exists in the form of rust. In 2017, researchers discovered traces of water on Psyche’s surface. “Spectra from the […]

A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law. As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.

 Nasa may have found evidence of past alien life on Mars.The space agency says that its rover, Perseverance, has found a rock that might once have been host to microbial life, billions of years ago.A host of notable traits found on the rock suggest that it is possible that it is evidence that there is life on the red planet. Researchers say that it is filled with organic compounds, shows that water once flowed through it, and is marked with specks of the kind that on Earth usually signal life.The Perseverance rover has used onboard instruments to examine the...

AI analyses of metabolite and microbiome datasets indicate that focusing on dietary interventions in younger adults may be more effective in preventing colon cancer. A recent study by the Cleveland Clinic has found that diet-derived molecules, known as metabolites, play a significant role in the risk of young-onset colorectal cancer, particularly those linked to red and processed meat consumption. The research, published in NPJ Precision Oncology, analyzed metabolite and microbiome datasets and emphasized that one of the most effective preventive measures for adults under 60 is to discuss their diet with their healthcare provider.

Scientists from Mayo Clinic and Yale University used organoids, or mini-brain models, to study the development of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). They discovered an imbalance in excitatory cortical neurons, which are crucial for brain communication and function. By analyzing gene expression in these neurons, they identified changes in transcription factors that may underlie ASD. The research highlights the potential of using organoids to understand brain disorders and possibly prevent ASD through prenatal genetic testing.
