Meteorite impact shaped early Earth and promoted life
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 22, 2024
Billions of years ago, Earth was a harsh environment, frequently bombarded by meteorites. One of the most significant impacts occurred 3.26 billion years ago, when a meteorite the size of four Mount Everests collided with the planet. This event, known as the "S2" impact, left geological evidence in the Barberton Greenstone Belt in South Africa and is the focus of new research that sheds light on

Worms and snails handle the pressure 2,500m below the Pacific surface
Paris (AFP) Oct 16, 2024
Giant worms found wriggling under the Pacific seabed have unveiled a thriving ecosystem in a fiercely hostile environment, according to a study published by Nature.
The team found the booming community 2,515 metres (8,250 feet) below the surface just off the coast of central America.
An underwater oasis has been created under a chain of mountains that run from north-to-south in the Pacif

Accelerated muscle loss model in microgravity could aid Sarcopenia treatment research
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Oct 18, 2024
Sarcopenia, a condition that affects over 50 million people globally, results in the loss of muscle mass, strength, and function with age, heightening the risk of falls and fractures. Currently, exercise is the only recognized treatment. However, research sponsored by the International Space Station (ISS) National Lab and conducted by University of Florida scientists has developed a microgravity
