    New Discovery of Ancient Mars' Earth-like Environment: Evidence of Manganese Oxides in Gale Crater Rocks

    Broke On: Wednesday, 01 May 2024 Scientists discovered ancient Mars may have been Earth-like through the detection of manganese oxide in lakebed rocks within Gale Crater using NASA's Curiosity rover. The presence of this mineral suggests an environment with oxygen and potential for microbial life, despite Mars' ancient atmosphere lacking a known oxygen source.

    • Fossil Initially Identified as Plant Revealed to be Baby Turtle

      Broke On: Friday, 01 December 2023 The fossil was discovered by a Colombian priest in the 1950s. The turtles were likely less than a year old and belonged to a group of extinct marine turtles. The discovery is significant because fossilized baby turtles are rare, and it provides insight into the growth and development of these ancient creatures.

    • Atmospheric CO2 Levels Mirror Those Seen 14 Million Years Ago, Study Finds

      Broke On: Friday, 01 December 2023 Current atmospheric CO2 levels are equivalent to those seen 14 to 16 million years ago. If global CO2 emissions continue to rise at the current rate, we could reach between 600-800 ppm by the year 2100.

    • Ancient Stars May Have Produced Elements Heavier Than Any Found on Earth

      Broke On: Friday, 01 December 2023 Ancient stars may have had the ability to produce elements with atomic masses greater than 260. These elements are much heavier than any element found naturally on Earth, including uranium. The heaviest elements are known to be created in neutron stars via a process known as rapid neutron capture, or the 'r-process'. The study was conducted by scientists from North Carolina State University.

    • Enhancing Safety in mRNA Therapeutics: Addressing Unintended Immune Responses

      Broke On: Friday, 01 December 2023 Nucleotide modifications in mRNA-based therapeutics can cause +1 ribosomal frameshifting, leading to the production of unintended proteins and potential immune responses. Researchers have redesigned mRNA sequences to avoid these off-target effects, enhancing the safety of future mRNA-based therapeutics. An unintended immune response occurred in one third of the patients who received the mRNA Pfizer vaccine against COVID-19, but with no ill-effects.

    • Ancient Mosquito Fossils Suggest Males Also Fed on Blood, Challenging Evolutionary Understanding

      Broke On: Friday, 01 December 2023 The oldest known mosquito fossils have been discovered in Lebanese amber, dating back to the early-Cretaceous period. The fossils are of a new species called Libanoculex intermedius. The male mosquitoes had piercing-sucking mouthparts, suggesting they likely fed on blood. This discovery challenges the belief that only female mosquitoes are bloodsuckers.

    • Tuberculosis: Progress and Challenges in Global Fight

      Broke On: Monday, 06 November 2023 7.5 million people were newly diagnosed with TB in 2022, the highest figure since global monitoring began in 1995. India, Indonesia, and the Philippines accounted for over 60% of the global reduction in new diagnoses in 2020 and 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted TB services, with a decline in new TB diagnoses in 2020. About 50% of TB patients and their households face 'catastrophic costs'. Global efforts to combat TB have saved over 75 million lives since 2000.
