IN A NUTSHELL 🌍 Scientists have discovered that Earth’s seasons are not synchronized globally, revealing complex localized variations. 📊 Using two decades of satellite data, researchers identified “hotspots” of seasonal asynchrony across the planet. 🌿 Mediterranean and dryland ecosystems exhibit unique growth patterns, challenging existing ecological models. 🧬 The study suggests that seasonal shifts may impact biodiversity and promote genetic …

As we age, what and how much we eat tends to change. However, how meal timing relates to our health remains less understood. Researchers at Mass General Brigham and their collaborators studied changes to meal timing in older adults and discovered people experience gradual shifts in when they eat meals as they age. They also found characteristics that may contribute …

The pain of gout has been with us for millennia at least, but scientists have gone back much further in time – more than 20 million years – to bring back a gene that could help treat the condition and others like it. When there’s too much uric acid in the blood, it forms crystals in the joints and the …

A new study published in Geology by the University of Vienna explores how mysterious fairy circles—circular barren patches scattered across landscapes in Namibia, Brazil, Australia, and Russia—may be surface indicators of underground natural hydrogen reserves. According to the study published in Geology Journal, these depressions form through complex geomechanical processes that could provide valuable clues to locating vast clean energy …

A Concorde was once used to study a solar eclipse in a way no ground-based observer could match. Normally, the longest a total eclipse can be seen from one point on Earth is just over seven minutes. But in 1973, scientists extended that window more than tenfold by chasing the Moon’s shadow across Africa at supersonic speed. For 74 extraordinary …

Scientists say childhood vaccines may protect for life, making adult tetanus and diphtheria boosters unnecessary — a change that could save $1 billion a year. Credit: Shutterstock New evidence suggests that adults may not need routine tetanus and diphtheria booster shots after all, potentially saving the U.S. around $1 billion annually. The protection from childhood vaccinations appears to last for …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌍 Researchers discovered vast reserves of natural hydrogen beneath the Earth’s crust. 🔬 The study highlights two primary mechanisms for hydrogen generation: water-rock reactions and radiolysis. 📊 Geological settings for potential hydrogen accumulation are found globally, suggesting universal accessibility. 💡 Despite challenges, natural hydrogen offers significant environmental and economic benefits as a clean energy source. The quest …

A new study found PFAS, or “forever chemicals,” in 95% of the 23 beers tested across the United States, Mexico, and the Netherlands. The highest PFAS levels appeared in beers brewed near North Carolina’s Cape Fear River Basin, a region with documented water contamination. PFAS exposure has been linked to immune suppression, altered cholesterol and liver enzyme levels, and an …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌿 Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a molecule essential for artificial photosynthesis. 🔋 The molecule can store two positive and two negative charges simultaneously, a critical advancement in energy storage. ☀️ The process mimics natural photosynthesis to produce carbon-neutral solar fuels like hydrogen and methanol. 🔬 This research provides insights into electron transfer mechanisms, …
