    New Discovery: Tiny Animals Produce Own Antibiotics Using Stolen Genes from Bacteria

    Broke On: Thursday, 18 July 2024 Scientists discovered that bdelloid rotifers, microscopic freshwater creatures, use stolen bacterial genes to produce their own antibiotics in response to fungal infections. This groundbreaking finding could lead to new antibiotic development strategies and shed light on the adaptability of life at microscopic scales.

    New Discovery: Quasar Merges with Two Galaxies, Revealing Early Galaxy Formation and Black Hole Growth

    Broke On: Friday, 05 July 2024 An international team led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF) discovered a quasar merging with two massive satellite galaxies using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). The observations revealed one satellite galaxy forming stars with low metallicity, while the other was partially photoionised and had higher metallicity. This cosmic event occurred when the universe was less than a billion years old and featured a central black hole weighing 2 billion times the mass of our Sun. Roberto Decarli, lead author of the study, explained that both black holes and their host galaxies undergo efficient growth in the first billion years of cosmic history.

    New Study: Unnatural Greenhouse Gases on Exoplanets Could Be Signs of Alien Civilizations Terraforming Worlds

    Broke On: Wednesday, 26 June 2024 A new study identifies specific artificial greenhouse gases as potential signs of alien civilizations terraforming exoplanets. These gases, including fluorinated methane, ethane, and propane, as well as nitrogen-fluorine or sulfur-fluorine gases, are effective with long lifetimes in Earth-like atmospheres and could be detectable using advanced telescopes. The findings offer a new tool for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

    New Gene Discovery: The Role of SMIM1 in Obesity and Its Implications for Treatment

    Broke On: Thursday, 20 June 2024 Researchers have identified a genetic trigger for obesity in individuals with faulty copies of the SMIM1 gene, which is linked to decreased thyroid function and increased fat storage. This variant affects around 1 in 5,000 people with obesity and can lead to an average weight difference of up to 10.14 pounds for women and 5.29 pounds for men.

  • 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.
