IN A NUTSHELL 🛰️ Scientists have discovered a turquoise patch in the Antarctic Ocean, visible in satellite images. 🔬 The patch is home to coccolithophores, tiny marine organisms previously thought unable to survive in cold waters. 🌊 Research reveals a dynamic interaction between coccolithophores and diatoms, impacting the ocean’s carbon cycle. 🌍 Findings suggest new potential for plankton in combating …

New data has shown how much it costs to charge a Tesla for a month compared to paying gas for a Chevy Silverado. The debate of Tesla charging costs versus paying for gas is one that has raged for over a decade. It is a discussion that has gone back and forth between rival sets of owners in the car …

Scientists have detected methane gas on the dwarf planet Makemake, indicating that the distant body is a dynamic icy world. The discovery was made by a team led by the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Makemake is one of the largest and brightest worlds beyond Neptune, and becomes only the second trans-Neptunian object, after …

BROADVIEW — Federal agents shot rubber bullets at and tear gassed demonstrators during a Friday morning protest outside the Broadview ICE facility. Demonstrators have regularly gathered outside the facility, 1930 Beach St., in recent weeks as part of resistance to federal operations Midway Blitz and At Large, which are targeting undocumented people in Chicago and throughout Illinois. But the protests …

An Alabama man convicted of killing a woman during a 1997 gas station robbery was put to death Thursday after apologizing to his victim’s family and pleas from the woman’s son to spare his life.  Geoffrey Todd West, 50, was executed at William C. Holman Correctional Facility by nitrogen gas, a method Alabama began using last year. It was one …

Alabama has executed an inmate convicted of killing an Etowah County gas station clerk in 1997 and stealing about $250. Geoffrey Todd West was executed Thursday night at William C. Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore by being forced to inhale pure nitrogen gas, a method first used in Alabama last year and now the sixth time the state has employed …

Two small, misshapen galaxies are wandering together on the outskirts of the Virgo Cluster, a huge city of galaxies. Astronomers have been watching this galaxy pair, NGC 4532 and DDO 137, for years because their gas looks messy and stretched. Fresh radio maps now show why. Using a survey that traces invisible, cold hydrogen gas, researchers mapped a massive bridge …

Most of the ordinary matter in the universe is hydrogen. But surprisingly, less than 20% of this hydrogen sits inside galaxies. The rest lies in the vast spaces between them – the so-called intergalactic medium. This cosmic reservoir is thought to fuel the birth of new stars, as gas slowly falls into galaxies over billions of years. Yet much of …
