In the vast expanse of the galaxy, where the universe never ceases to amaze us with its peculiarities, one exoplanet stands out from the rest. Located at a distance of 1,232 light-years away, WASP-193b is a true enigma. Despite being nearly 50 percent larger than Jupiter, this celestial body is so light and fluffy that
In the United States, there has been a noticeable increase in cannabis use among breastfeeding parents. However, the extent to which the drug is transferred to breast milk, as well as its potential effects on newborns, remains uncertain. A recent observational study conducted in the US has shown that THC, the primary psychoactive component of
A recent study has found that individuals who experience stressful life events, such as the death of a loved one or divorce, during childhood or midlife may be at a higher risk of developing dementia later in life. The study involved analyzing spinal fluid samples for abnormal proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease, as well as
Perseverance, the rover launched in July 2020, has been exploring the ancient lake bed within the Jezero Crater on Mars for over 1000 days. This crater, once home to a vast body of water, holds the key to unraveling the mysteries of ancient Martian life. The mission of Perseverance was to study the geology, climate,
Research conducted by an international team of scientists has shed light on the body’s ability to regulate the breakdown of brown fat, a specialized type of adipose tissue that plays a crucial role in calorie burning to generate heat. Unlike white fat, which serves primarily as a storage depot, brown fat is densely packed with
Last week, the world witnessed a stunning display of aurora lights as a result of a massive solar flare. These colorful lights painted the sky in both hemispheres, reaching as far south as Hawaii and as far north as Mackay. While the rare and mesmerizing spectacle has now ended, it is important to understand the
Cancer remains one of the leading causes of death globally, claiming more than 10 million lives each year. The key to successful treatment lies in early detection and effective intervention. Unfortunately, cancer often manifests silently, making it challenging to diagnose in its initial stages. A recent study has shed light on a groundbreaking approach that
The rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide increase today has been found to be ten times faster than at any point in the past 50,000 years. This startling discovery was made through a detailed chemical analysis of ancient Antarctic ice, shedding light on abrupt climate change periods in Earth’s history. Published in the Proceedings of the
The decision to withdraw life support from a loved one who has sustained a traumatic brain injury is one of the most difficult choices that families may face. A recent study conducted by a team of researchers led by William Sanders from Massachusetts General Hospital sheds light on the outcomes of brain trauma patients and
When we embark on a journey in our cars, safety is always a top priority. However, recent research has shed light on a concerning issue that many may not be aware of. A study conducted on vehicles manufactured in the US since 2015 revealed that 99 percent of cabins tested contained potentially dangerous materials. These
Earth has recently experienced an astonishing display of green and red lights dancing across the skies, signaling the occurrence of solar storms. These solar storms, characterized by huge outflows of material from the Sun colliding with Earth’s magnetic field, have been particularly powerful. The most recent events have been labeled as extreme G5-level geomagnetic storms,
