    New Studies Question the Assumption that Minimally Processed Foods are Healthier than Ultra-Processed Ones

    Broke On: Sunday, 30 June 2024 New studies challenge the assumption that limiting ultra-processed foods leads to a healthier lifestyle. Contrary to popular belief, less-processed diets can be more expensive and have a shorter shelf life without providing additional nutritional value. A long-term study found that consuming higher levels of ultraprocessed food may shorten lifespans by up to 15%. Diet soft drinks were identified as a major contributor.

    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 Insights from JWST Reveal the Crab Nebula as a Complex Core-collapse Supernova

    Broke On: Tuesday, 18 June 2024 New data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope reveals the Crab Nebula, a supernova remnant in Taurus, is a core-collapse supernova with complex structures and intriguing chemical composition. The pulsar powers an outflowing wind interacting with gas and dust, creating complex structures. JWST discovered nickel and iron emission lines in the inner filaments, suggesting a low-mass star could have been the progenitor.

    New Study Reveals Rapid Growth of Supermassive Black Holes in Young Universe using X-ray Observations

    Broke On: Wednesday, 12 June 2024 Researchers led by Penn State astronomers Fan Zou and W. Niel Brandt combined X-ray data from NASA's Chandra, ESA's XMM-Newton, and the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics eROSITA telescope to model the growth of supermassive black holes in galaxies. They studied over 8,000 rapidly growing black holes in a sample of 1.3 million galaxies and found that they grew much more rapidly when the Universe was younger, shedding light on galaxy evolution.
