In the deep subsurface that plunges into the Earth for miles, microscopic organisms inhabit vast bedrock pores and veins. Belowground microorganisms, or microbes, comprise up to half of all living material on the planet and support the existence of all life forms up the food chain. They are essential for realizing an environmentally sustainable future and can change the chemical makeup of minerals, break down pollutants, and alter the composition of groundwater. While the significance of bacteria and archaea is undeniable, the only evidence of their existence in the deep subsurface comes from traces of biological material that seep through…

The infection rate is far lower than that of Covid-19 or many common respiratory viruses, so outbreaks tend to end quite quickly. An example of this was in 2003, when monkeypox reached the US after infected animals were shipped from Ghana to Illinois. The virus was spread to prairie dogs being sold as pets in multiple Midwestern states, and 47 people became infected. But none passed it on to anyone else, and the outbreak was over shortly after it had begun.That said, this time around, scientists aren’t sure whether the usual rate of transmission for monkeypox has increased, given the…

Think about some of your favorite movies. They probably have some pretty good titles, if not great ones. The fact of the matter is, some of the most famous movies of all…
Three large chunks of space debris that crash-landed into Australian sheep farms have been confirmed as belonging to SpaceX, the Australian Space Agency announced today (Aug 3).The space junk, found embedded in farmlands in New South Wales’ Snowy Mountains region on Saturday (July 30), came from a part of a SpaceX Crew Dragon spacecraft that likely reentered the Earth’s atmosphere on July 9 — the day that locals reported hearing a loud sonic boom and seeing a blazing light arc across the sky. The first of the debris, a 10-foot-tall (3 meters) spike seared black by reentry, was found by local…

One of the earliest fantasy novels ever published, The…
It’s been a frustrating week for the people associated with Leslie Grace’s Batgirl. The $70 million+ movie was officially scrapped earlier this week, despite being in post-production. At the time, there were unconfirmed reports the decision was based on the quality of the movie as opposed to the restructuring at Warner Bros. Discovery. “We have done a reset” CEO David Zaslav said Thursday during an investors call. “There will be a team with a 10-year plan focusing just on DC,” he said. “It’s very similar to the structure that Alan Horn and Bob Iger put together effectively with [Marvel Studios…

Applicants for EPA carbon-storage permits must persuade the agency that they can contain both the plume of injected carbon dioxide and a secondary plume of saltwater that the CO2 displaces from the rock—what drilling engineers call the pressure pulse. The EPA requires evidence that neither plume will contaminate drinking water while a project is operating and for a default period of 50 years after CO2 injection stops—but the agency can decide to shorten or lengthen that for a particular project. Stream employs a well-heeled team, including oil industry veterans and a former top EPA official, to shepherd the permit application, which…

Cystic hygroma is an embryonic condition that causes the lymphatic vascular system to develop abnormally. It’s a rare and potentially life-threatening disorder that leads to fluid swelling around…

You reach over a stove to pick up a pot. What you didn’t realize was that the burner was still on. Ouch! That painful accident probably taught you a lesson. It’s adaptive to learn from unexpected events so that we don’t repeat our mistakes. Our brain may be primed to pay extra attention when we are surprised. In a recent Nature study, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found evidence that a hormone, noradrenaline, alters brain activity—and an animal’s subsequent behavior—in these startling moments. Noradrenaline is one of several chemicals that can flood the brain with powerful signals. Past…
