‘Arsenic life’ study hailed by NASA as breakthrough in astrobiology retracted by Science due to contamination and flawed data

‘Arsenic life’ study hailed by NASA as breakthrough in astrobiology retracted by Science due to contamination and flawed data

After 15 years of debate, a study that announced the alleged discovery of an arsenic-eating microbe has been retracted by the journal Science due to contaminated and flawed data. However, the original study authors disagree with the move. The microbe strain, labeled GFAJ-1, was recovered from the salty water of arsenic-rich Mono Lake in California by a research team led …

Breakthrough study uncovers biological trigger that forces the brain to sleep

Breakthrough study uncovers biological trigger that forces the brain to sleep

We spend nearly a third of our lives sleeping, yet the biological trigger behind sleep has remained elusive. Despite decades of research, scientists have struggled to identify a concrete, physical reason why the brain demands rest. A new study from the University of Oxford might have changed that. Researchers have found that the pressure to sleep may come from deep …

Laser-excited thorium-229 pioneers major breakthrough in dark matter detection

Laser-excited thorium-229 pioneers major breakthrough in dark matter detection

Key Takeaways Scientists have used laser-excited thorium-229 to probe for ultralight dark matter, even without a fully built nuclear clock. Thorium-229’s unique nuclear transition offers up to a billion times more sensitivity to fundamental forces than current methods. This new technique opens a fresh path for dark matter searches, potentially detecting effects 100 million times weaker than gravity. For nearly …
