The World’s Oldest Skin Discovered in an Exceptionally Rare Fossil find

According to the team, the oldest known fossil skin samples resemble the skin of modern crocodiles. Depositphotos

Scientists have found the oldest skin fossils, which are from a time long before dinosaurs existed. These samples, discovered in a cave in Oklahoma, show that reptile scales have barely changed in 286 million years. Most fossils in museums are bones because bones take a long time to decompose, giving them more time to fossilize. Soft tissues like skin, muscles, and organs usually decay or get eaten quickly, so they’re rarely found. However, under the right conditions, soft tissues can be preserved. For example, if something is buried quickly in the right material, you might find a dinosaur tail with feathers preserved in amber, a 133-million-year-old brain preserved in a bog, or

a nodosaur with skin and scales that look almost lifelike. Discovery of Ancient Reptile Skin Sheds Light on Evolutionary History Scientists at the University of Toronto have discovered the oldest fossilized skin ever found, which is at least 21 million years older than any previously known fossil skin. This sample is between 286 and 289 million years old, predating the earliest dinosaurs by at least 40 million years. The skin belonged to an early reptile and looks remarkably similar to modern crocodile skin, with a pebbled surface and flexible areas between the scales like snake skin.

and been buried in very fine clay sediments that delayed the decay process,” said Ethan Mooney, the study’s lead author. “Additionally, this cave system was an active oil seepage site during the Permian, and interactions between hydrocarbons in petroleum and tar likely preserved the skin.” The specimens will be kept at the Royal Ontario Museum, where further studies may provide more insights into ancient animal skin.

NASA Monitors Endangered Species with Advanced Satellites

Usually, what we know about ancient animal skin comes from imprints left in mud that harden into rock after the skin decays. In this case, the actual skin is preserved in small, three-dimensional fragments, including both the tough outer layer and the rarer inner layer.

Currently, habitat loss poses the greatest threat to global species. As human populations surge, we transform more wilderness and consume increasing resources, making large species like tigers and elephants particularly susceptible to extinction. Once prevalent throughout Asia, tigers (Panthera tigris) have seen a dramatic loss of 93% of their habitat over the past 150 years. Current estimates suggest fewer than 4,000 tigers remain in the wild. NASA’s Satellite Data Offers Hope by Revealing Potential Habitats for Crucial Predators However, data from NASA’s satellites offer hope, revealing potential habitats that these crucial predators are not currently utilizing.

Ancient Reptile Skin Discovered in Oklahoma Cave Provides Rare Insight Fossil hunters Bill and Julie May discovered these fossils in Richards Spur, a limestone cave system in Oklahoma. This location likely played a crucial role in preserving the skin so well for such a long time. “Animals would have fallen into this cave system during the early Permian

By directing some attention from space to Earth, NASA aids ecologists in safeguarding endangered species such as tigers and elephants using its advanced satellites.

“There’s more space available for tigers than experts previously believed,” said Eric Sanderson, a conservation ecologist at the New York Botanical Garden, in a conversation with Emily DeMarco at NASA.

The researchers aim to improve the technology to allow imaging from distances of up to five inches (12.7 cm).

Conserving Wildlife with Satellite Strategies NASA is also developing satellite-based strategies to protect vast US public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management. These efforts focus on safeguarding species like the endangered Mojave desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii), the at-risk greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), and the bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis).

Essential to forest ecosystems, elephants face increasing habitat loss, intensifying their conflicts with humans.

Historically, conservation scientists relied on slow, costly, and logistically complex groundwork for limited habitat and movement data. NASA’s satellites provide extensive information almost in real time, allowing wildlife biologists to respond to threats more quickly and effectively than ever before. “Satellites capture extensive areas of Earth’s surface on a daily to weekly basis,” notes NASA biogeographer Keith Gaddis. “This helps scientists monitor habitats that are logistically challenging and time-consuming to survey from the ground, which is crucial for wide-ranging animals like tigers.”

This disruptive technology showcases the true potential of THz imaging.” The researchers envision integrating their microchip imager into smartphones for various purposes, including detecting studs and wooden beams, identifying pipe cracks, and inspecting envelope and package contents, as well as potential medical applications. To conclude, funding for the research came from the Texas Instruments (TI) Foundational Technology Research Program on Millimeter Wave and High-Frequency Microsystems and the Samsung Global Research Outreach Program.

Fast-Charging Sodium-Ion Battery uses Tree-Based Anodes

Lignode is a carbon substance that Stora Enso and Altris are teaming to use to replace anode graphite

“One month after Natron Energy launched mass production of its pioneering sodium-ion batteries, Swedish company Altris, in collaboration with Stora Enso, discovered a way to enhance the sustainability of lithium-free batteries by adapting carbon from tree pulp for anodes.” Lignin, a byproduct of wood pulp production, has been studied extensively for its potential as a sustainable electrode material.

Stora Enso, Lignode is a hard carbon material processed from lignin Stora Enso and Altris Collaborate to Localize the European Battery Supply Chain Partnering with Altris, Stora Enso aims to enhance sustainability and further localize the European battery supply chain. As observed with Natron Energy’s recent production start, sodium-ion batteries avoid the use of rare minerals like lithium, cobalt, and nickel, instead using readily available sodium that can be sourced locally, avoiding the negative impacts of harmful mining. By replacing conventional graphite in anodes with Lignode, a natural byproduct, Altris and Stora Enso aim to reduce dependence on Chinese imports, which account for over 90% of the EU’s graphite supply, thereby strengthening the local EU supply chain. Additionally, Stora Enso claims that Lignode anodes offer quicker charging and discharging rates.

nin on an industrial scale since 2015. The company initiated pilot production of Lignode in 2021 and is now scaling up to commercial production. A Renewable Resource Paving the Way for Sustainable Battery Technology However, Stora Enso notes that lignin constitutes 20 to 30 percent of a tree, making it widely available and easily replaceable through sustainable forestry practices. They suggest that the Altris sodium-ion cells, incorporating Lignode, have the potential to become the world’s most sustainable battery. “Bio-based materials are crucial for enhancing the sustainability of battery cells,” stated Juuso Konttinen, Stora Enso’s senior VP, in a recent joint announcement. “Lignode, which could become the world’s most sus-

However, the concept of a sodium battery with a wood pulp-derived anode being the ‘world’s most sustainable’ might seem too good to be true at the moment. Despite the recent collaboration announcement, Altris has yet to commence commercial production and still identifies itself as a sodium-ion battery developer and prototype manufacturer. Last year, Altris unveiled a commercial-sized cell boasting an energy density of 160-Wh/kg, comparable to lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries commonly used in electric vehicles today.

Stora Enso, which describes itself as one of the world’s largest privately owned forest owners, manages and leases over 5 million acres (2 million hectares) of land.

In 2022, Finnish renewable materials firm Stora Enso garnered attention by partnering with Swedish battery manIt has been processing wood pulp at ufacturer Northvolt to incorporate its proprietary Lignode material into lith- its Kotka, Finland mill for more than ium-ion battery anodes.

Similar to Natron’s Prussian blue, it avoids rare and problematic minerals like lithium and cobalt.

Stora Enso says that it’s one of the largest private forest owners in the world, offering a huge raw supply for Lignode sourcing Stora Enso

This achievement stemmed from a research partnership with Northvolt. Altris CEO Björn Mårlid previously stated the company’s aim to reach 200-Wh/kg in future endeavors. Page. 4

Blood Sugar Drops During Exercise and Stays Low Afterward

When it comes to controlling blood sugar levels, exercise is important, but so is when you exercise, says new study (Image generated using AI tools)

It’s commonly understood that consistent exercise can enhance various health parameters. However, a recent study highlights the significance of the timing of your workouts, particularly in managing blood sugar levels. The study was conducted by two researchers affiliated with the University of Granada in Spain. They analyzed data from 186 overweight and/or obese adults, characterized by an average BMI of 32.9. The participants, averaging around 47 years of age, were equipped with an accelerometer to monitor physical activity and a continuous glucose monitor for a two-week period.

Evening Exercise from 6 pm to Midnight Yields All-Day Blood Glucose Reduction, Unlike Sedentary Behavior The researchers discovered that participants who engaged in more than 50% of their moderate to vigorous exercise during the evening hours of 6 pm to midnight experienced notable reductions in their blood glucose levels that lasted throughout the day, not just immediately after exercising. This was in contrast to individuals who remained sedentary throughout the day. The study categorized “active” individuals as those who engaged in between 21.4 and 42.9 minutes of exercise daily, while “very active” individuals were defined as those who exercised for more than 42.9 minutes per day. Lowering blood glucose levels is a crucial strategy in combating diabetes, particularly among overweight individuals. Tailored Exercise Recommendations Highlight Benefits of Afternoon-to-Evening Activity for Glucose Control, Expert Suggests “As the field progresses towards tailoring exercise recommendations to individual chronic conditions, this study offers further insights beyond simply advising patients to ‘increase physical activity,’ emphasizing the importance of frequent movement and prioritizing afternoon-to-evening

exercise for regulating glucose levels,” said Renee J. Rogers, a senior scientist at the University of Kansas’ Division of Physical Activity and Weight Management, who was not involved in the research. The findings of this new study align with previous research indicating the benefits of exercising at specific times of the day. For instance, one study revealed that concluding exercise approximately two hours before bedtime could significantly enhance sleep quality. Another study showed that morning workouts were associated with greater reductions in belly fat and blood pressure among women, while evening workouts were linked to improved upper body strength, endurance, and mood. Additionally, men who exercised at night experienced lower blood pressure, increased fat burning, and reduced risk of heart disease. Another study from last year found that for skeletal health, the timing of exercise is less critical than consistency; exercising at the same time daily contributes to better bone health. The authors emphasize that studies like theirs demonstrate the importance of recommending the appropriate type of exercise at the most beneficial time for patients. “Our findings underscore the signi-

cance of precision exercise prescriptions,” said study co-author Jonatan R. Ruiz. “In clinical practice, sports and medical professionals should consider the best time of day to maximize the effectiveness of the exercise and physical activity programs they recom-

GPT-4 Autonomously Exploits Zero-Day Security Flaws with a 53% Success Rate

Researchers have achieved over a 50% success rate in hacking their test websites using autonomous teams of GPT-4 bots. These bots coordinate their actions and can spawn new ones as needed, all while exploiting previously undiscovered real-world ‘zero-day’ vulnerabilities. A few months ago, a research team published a paper detailing their use of GPT-4 to autonomously exploit one-day (or N-day) vulnerabilities – flaws that are known but lack a fix. Page. 5

Apps & Software, History

When provided with the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) list, GPT-4 could independently exploit 87% of critical-severity CVEs. Successful Hacking of Zero-Day Vulnerabilities by Autonomous LLM Agents Fast forward to this week, and the same researchers have released a follow-up paper. They have successfully hacked zero-day vulnerabilities – flaws that are not yet known – using a team of autonomous, self-replicating Large Language Model (LLM) agents employing a Hierarchical Planning with Task-Specific Agents (HPTSA) approach. Instead of assigning one LLM agent to tackle numerous intricate tasks, HPTSA employs a “planning agent” that oversees the entire process and deploys multiple task-specific “subagents.” This structure resembles a hierarchy, with the planning agent coordinating efforts through the managing agent, which then assigns tasks to each “expert subagent.” This approach alleviates the burden on a single agent and ensures efficient task allocation. This technique mirrors the methodology utilized by Cognition Labs with its Devin AI software development team. It involves planning out the project, identifying necessary skill sets, and overseeing the project’s exe-

cution while generating specialized “employees” as required to handle specific tasks.

Tiny-Brained Ancestor May be History’s First Gravedigger and Artist

When tested against 15 real-world web-focused vulnerabilities, HPTSA demonstrated a 550% increase in efficiency compared to a single LLM in exploiting vulnerabilities. It successfully exploited 8 out of 15 zero-day vulnerabilities, while the single LLM managed to exploit only 3 of the 15 vulnerabilities. Ethical Concerns Surrounding the Potential Misuse of Advanced AI Models However, concerns arise regarding the ethical implications of these models. There is legitimate worry that users may exploit these capabilities to launch malicious attacks on websites and networks. Daniel Kang, one of the researchers and the author of the white paper, specifically highlighted that GPT-4, when operating in chatbot mode, lacks understanding of LLM capabilities and is incapable of independent hacking. When questioned if it could exploit zero-day vulnerabilities, ChatGPT responded, “No, I am not capable of exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities. My purpose is to provide information and assistance within ethical and legal boundaries.” It advised consulting a cybersecurity professional for such matters.

people, some predated modern humans by over 100,000 years. They carved crosshatches into the walls of caves, while others roasted small creatures in what amounted to an underground funeral. Based on an abundance of fossil discoveries in the Rising Star cave system in South Africa, this scenario, if accurate, would have a significant impact on both the capabilities of our extinct cousins, Homo naledi, and the emergence of human behavior.

History

paleoanthropologist María Martinón-Torres of the Spanish National Research Centre for Human Evolution said, “I am more and more persuaded that something amazing happened here.” However, they haven’t passed the muster to demonstrate purposeful burial. In 2013, the first finding made by Berger’s team in Rising Star was the bones of at least fifteen people found at the base of a chute 50 kilometers northwest of Johannesburg. Because of its unusual combination of characteristics, including a small brain and a spherical skull, the scientists named it a new species. The fact that it lived so recently—between 241,000 and 335,000 years ago, according to radiometric dates on sediments above and below the remains—astonished researchers as well. As more skeletons showed up, Berger Berger Spots Potential Grave via Livestream Since he was too large to squeeze through the tight spaces to reach the chamber, he watched team members work in the caves in 2018 and followed the activity via livestream. The camera suddenly bumped and entered infrared mode. Berger was able to distinguish the precise margins of a “oval feature” in the black and white pho-

tograph. “I believe it to be a grave,” he said to the diggers. “They declined.” Subsequent excavation revealed that the oval was a hole measuring 50 by 25 centimeters and 8 centimeters deep. It was filled with 83 pieces of bone and teeth from one H. naledi individual and a few pieces from other individuals. There were orange-red stones scattered throughout the bones, which seemed to come from a lower layer. Berger, who had to give up his weight in order to enter the chamber, thinks the stones demonstrate how ancient grave diggers dug out the hole, removed rocks and mud, put them aside, and then covered the body with them. The group discovered a second batch of extremely brittle bones in another part of the cave. Two large slabs of dirt containing bones were retrieved, plastered over, and brought to their laboratory. CT scans there showed 90 Symbolic Evidence in the Caves On the cave walls, they also found geometric designs and crosshatchings engraved; some of these shapes were carved on top of one another, suggesting that they were etched at separate times. The oldest known examples of undeniable symbolic art are from Blombos Cave in South Africa, which date back 73,000 years.

Berger, however, contends that since no other hominin left behind traces in the caves, the undated etchings have to be the creation of H. naledi. Berger was scheduled to discuss the discovery at the Richard Leakey Memorial Conference at Stony Brook University today. He also claims that H. naledi had fire, despite the fact that there is no proof of this in the papers, in order to function in the dark. However, fire was regulated by hominins in other areas at least 600,000 years ago. Berger has uploaded pictures of charcoal online. Clive Finlayson, an evolution scientist at the Gibraltar National Museum, concurs. “The structure of the brain is more important than its size,” he asserts. Since no evidence of large-brained people has been discovered in the cave, he believes the etchings were “most likely” created by H. naledi. According to Finlayson, “it demonstrates that Homo naledi had a degree of self-awareness.” Debate and Challenges to the Interpretation Some, however, contend that the team’s data does not support such leaps. Archaeologist João Zilhão of the University of Barcelona, who has suggested that Neanderthals created early cave art, adds, “The whole thing is unconvincing.”

He and others claim that the H. naledi carcasses could have been positioned by natural processes. The dead might have fallen, been washed in, or been thrown into the chamber, for instance. The bones may have shifted and became covered in dirt due to geologic movement and sedimentation, which are frequent in caves. According to Durham University archaeologist Paul Pettitt, the undated etchings could have been created considerably later. They bear a resemblance to later carvings made by Homo sapiens in South Africa. The Need for Further Investigation According to Pettitt, an authority on ancient graves, the facts now “sadly do not present a clear and unambiguous demonstration of a deliberate burial. “In order to ascertain if the bones and sediments were deposited simultaneously in a burial or at various times, as well as whether the dead were later disturbed by geological movements, he adds the team must complete digging the pits and carefully examine the remains. According to Martinón-Torres, it’s not evident from the pictures whether the remains were buried intentionally or if they were laid down whole. She claims, “We don’t have articulated bodies.”

The abundance of broken objects that one would anticipate from a grave site, like the stone tools used to excavate the pits, is also absent. “Typical cultural remnants from incarcerations should be present,” says Arizona State University archaeologist Curtis Marean. “Considering the incredibly difficult work environment, they are going to have a tremendous struggle making an ironclad case for pits and burials,” he continues. Scholars concur that Berger and his colleagues have discovered an amazing death scene by discovering so many specimens of H. naledi.

STARSHIP SERVICE TO EARTH ORBIT, MOON, MARS AND BEYOND

However, Pettitt and others argue that H. naledi cannot be credited with creating meaning-making activities in the absence of more convincing evidence. “This place is impressive because of the hard science of excavation,” adds Pettitt. “Speculation on Homo naledi’s origins can and should be ignored.

College, act like chimneys by naturally drawing hot air up and out of the building. “The heat at the top of the towers helps draw air up through the galleries due to the thermal stack effect,” explains Foster + Partners. “Air vents at the top of the wing-shaped towers utilize the negative pressure behind the wing to expel hot air. Fresh air is captured at ground level, cooled through underground pipes, and released into the museum’s lobby.”

The Zayed National Museum’s main building takes the form of a 30-m (98-ft)-tall “mound” that’s inspired by the topography of the UAE. Foster + Partners.

Construction is almost complete on a remarkable project in Abu Dhabi by the esteemed British firm Foster + Partners. The Zayed National Museum, characterized by its five sculpted “wings,” is designed to be both visually striking and functionally effective, using the wings to naturally cool the building’s interior. Initially unveiled in 2010, the Zayed National Museum was envisioned as a tribute to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the UAE’s first president. The winged design reflects his passion for

falconry and incorporates elements inspired by traditional Islamic motifs.

The upper floor hosts four pod-shaped galleries, each forming the base of a wing. The museum’s exhibits will span a wide range of topics, including ancient marine life from millions of years ago, early Aramaic coins, warfare, and contemporary culture. A landscaped narrative garden will also be included, highlighting significant moments in Sheikh Zayed’s life. The Zayed National Museum is part of a broader development initiative in the region, which also features the stunning Louvre Abu Dhabi and the forthcoming Natural History Museum.

AI-Powered Noise-Canceling Headphones Allow Only One Voice to Pass Through

In our bustling modern world, noise-canceling headphones offer respite from the cacophony. However, their indiscriminate sound reduction can inadvertently drown out important voices. Enter a new prototype AI system called “Target Speech Hearing.” It allows users to select a specific person’s voice to remain audible even amidst noise cancellation. Although still a proof of concept, this technology could soon enhance popular noise-canceling earbuds and even hearing aids, ensuring that we hear what truly matters. A new AI system for headphones aims to fix this problem. Called Target Speech Hearing, the system lets users choose a person’s voice to hear clearly

while canceling out all other sounds. This technology is still in the early stages, but its creators are talking with popular noise-canceling earbud brands and also want to make it available for hearing aids.

pick out specific voices from the surrounding noise using microphones on a pair of regular noise-canceling headphones.

“Listening to specific people is a key part of how we communicate and interact with others,” says Shyam Gollakota, a professor at the University of Washington who worked on the project. “It can be very difficult to focus on certain people in noisy environments, even if you don’t have hearing problems.”

To use the Target Speech Hearing system, the wearer holds down a button on the headphones for a few seconds while facing the person they want to focus on. During this time, called “enrollment,” the system records an audio sample from both headphones to identify the speaker’s voice, even if there are other voices and noises around.

Trainning AI to Recognize and Filter The same researchers had previously trained an AI to recognize and filter out specific sounds like babies crying, birds chirping, or alarms ringing. However, separating human voices is more difficult and needs more complex AI. This complexity is a problem because AI models must work in real-time on headphones with limited computing power and battery life. To handle these limits, the neural networks had to be small and energy-efficient. So, the team used a technique called knowledge distillation. This involved taking a large AI model trained on millions of voices (the “teacher”) and using it to train a much smaller model (the “student”) to perform just as well. The smaller model was then taught to

How it Works

These voice features are sent to a neural network on a small computer connected to the headphones by a USB cable. This network runs all the time, separating the chosen voice from others and playing it back to the listener. Once the system locks onto a speaker, it keeps focusing on that person’s voice, even if the wearer turns away. The more the system listens to a speaker, the better it gets at isolating that voice. Currently, the system can only successfully focus on a speaker if their voice is the loudest one. However, the team is working to make it function even when the loudest voice isn’t the target speaker. Advancing Speech Separation: Practical Applications and Future Prospects

Picking out one voice in a noisy place is very hard, says Sefik Emre Eskimez, a senior researcher at Microsoft who works on speech and AI but didn’t work on this particular study. “I know companies want to do this,” he says. “If they can figure it out, it could be useful in many areas, especially during meetings.” Although speech separation research is usually more about theory than practice, this study has clear practical uses, says Samuele Cornell, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University’s Language Technologies Institute who also didn’t work on this study. “I think it’s a move in the right direction,” Cornell says. “It’s a refreshing change.”

surpassed the previous record held by fellow Russian Gennady Padalka, who spent 878 days, 11 hours, 29 minutes, and 48 seconds in space. Both achieved their records over five missions, but Kononenko’s missions were longer. He is expected to stay in space until September 23, pushing his total to 1,110 days, or about three years.

the head, muscle and bone density decrease, and astronauts experience anemia and muscular atrophy. They spend a lot of time exercising to mitigate these effects. Interestingly, astronauts also lose the calluses on their feet, leaving them smooth like a baby’s.

Alcohol on Planes Could Be Riskier Than You Think

Kononenko expressed his pride and confidence in an interview with Russian state news agency TASS. He spoke about the significance of reaching this milestone and the sense of accomplishment it brought him.

Effects of Long-Term Space Travel Long-term space travel significantly impacts the human body. In microgravity, fluids like blood shift towards

individuals who consumed alcohol had an average blood oxygen level of 94.97 percent and a heart rate of 76.97 beats per minute (bpm). Those who did not consume alcohol under normal pressure had a blood oxygen level of 95.88 percent and a heart rate of 63.74 bpm.

“This study is the first to explore the combined effects of hypobaric hypoxia and alcohol consumption during sleep,” the researchers noted in their published paper.

At reduced pressure simulating airplane cabin conditions, the corresponding figures were 85.32 percent SpO2 and 87.73 bpm for drinkers, and 88.07 percent SpO2 and 72.90 bpm for non-drinkers.

“We show that consuming alcohol onboard poses a health hazard that is often underestimated and can be easily avoided.”

Comparisons with Other Astronauts Astronauts from other countries have not come close to Kononenko’s cumulative time in space. American astronaut Peggy Whitson holds the NASA record with 665 days. For the longest continuous stay, cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov holds the record with 437 days and 18 hours on the Mir space station in the mid-1990s. On the NASA side, Frank Rubio spent 371 days on the International Space Station due to a spacecraft problem, achieving this last September.

At these higher altitudes, where oxygen levels decrease (a condition known as hypobaric hypoxia), blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) begins to decline. This new study reveals that combining alcohol consumption with sleep under these conditions could pose significant risks.

Next time you’re on a long-haul flight, consider refraining from drinking alcohol and napping—it’s a combination that a recent study suggests could strain your heart. Researchers from the Institute of Aerospace Medicine at the German Aerospace Center divided 40 volunteers into two sleep lab chambers: one simulating ground-level pressure and another simulating the pressure experienced on an airplane flying at approximately 2,438 meters (about 8,000 feet).

The study involved four groups: individuals sleeping at normal pressure with or without alcohol consumption, and those sleeping at simulated cabin pressure with or without alcohol consumption. Alcohol Consumption and Sleep Limitations in the Study Participants received an alcohol dose equivalent to two cans of beer or two glasses of wine. Their sleep was restricted to four hours per night during the experiments, aiming to simulate disrupted sleep patterns commonly encountered during flights. Under normal pressure conditions,

These results imply that at simulated airplane cabin pressures, blood oxygen levels decreased and heart rates increased more significantly among those who consumed alcohol compared to the control group. Impact of Altitude and Alcohol on Sleep Quality This difference is notable considering both the altitude and alcohol consumption—where the clinically healthy norm for SpO2 is typically 90 percent. These factors also reduced the duration of deep and REM sleep, both crucial for sleep quality. Lower SpO2 levels and higher heart rates impose additional strain on the cardiovascular system, raising concerns that common long-haul flight practices may unnecessarily heighten the risk of heart issues, particularly among individuals with pre-existing Page. 20

conditions. The study involved a small sample of young and healthy participants, and the effects on older or more vulnerable individuals could potentially be more pronounced, a topic for future research. While it may be tempting to enjoy a drink and rest during travel, whether for vacation or after a stressful business trip, researchers caution travelers to exercise caution in light of these findings. The researchers suggest that raising public awareness through patient organizations, public campaigns, and health advisories provided by airlines would be beneficial. They also note that technical and economic limitations make it improbable for airlines to increase cabin pressure.

Poppi Prebiotic Soda May Not Be as Good for Your Gut as It Claims

Ultra-Processed Foods Might Be Healthier Than You’d Expect

Prebiotic soda brand Poppi, beloved by celebrities, is being sued on claims of consumer fraud and “false and misleading claims.”

New study reveals links between social anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts in adolescents

The debate about the negative impact of social media use is heated. Psychology research must avoid the noise and remain focused on improving adolescent mental health.

Adolescents who experience higher levels of social anxiety symptoms are more likely to report increased suicidal thoughts and other depressive symptoms two years later, according to new research. The University of East Anglia-led study sheds light on the pressing need for early interventions to address society anxiety in young people. https://www.eurekalert.org/ news-releases/1047354

130,000-Year-Old Carved Bear Bone May Be the Earliest

ARCHEOLOGY

TWIS 06-13 APR 24

Neanderthals, our ancient human cousins, left behind many remnants of their now-extinct existence. Some left footprints now fossilized in Spain from steps they took 100,000 years ago. Others left handprints and cave art on the walls of earthen hideouts. But a fragment of bone discovered in the 1950s in a Polish cave may indicate these ancient humans created art 130,000 years ago.

DNA Study Offers Clues to the Meaning of a Mass Grave at Chichén Itzá News June 13, 2024 LEIPZIG, GERMANY—According to a Live Science report, scientists have analyzed DNA samples taken from 64 of the more than 100 sets of human remains recovered in 1967 from a chultun, or underground water storage chamber, in Mexico’s Maya city of Chichén Itzá. Radiocarbon dating indicates that the burials occurred over a period of 500 years, between the seventh and twelfth centuries A.D. The study shows that all of the individuals were boys, and a quarter of them were closely related to each other. https://archaeology.org/ news/2023/10/06/dna-study-offers-clues-to-the-meaning-of-a-mass-grave-at-chichen-itza/

SPACE EXPLORANASA’s asteroid Bennu sample TION & COSMOL- return mission was a prime time to study an artificial meteor OGY Earth is constantly bombarded by fragments of rock and ice, also known as meteoroids, from outer space. Most of the meteoroids are as tiny as grains of sand and small pebbles, and they completely burn up high in the atmosphere. You can see meteoroids larger than about a golf ball when they light up as meteors or shooting stars on a dark, clear night. While very small meteoroids are common, larger ones – bigger than a dishwasher – are not.

New theory: Gravity can exist without mass, so dark matter does not exist For centuries, scientists have grappled with the fundamental forces that govern our universe, chief among them being gravity, and more recently, dark matter. Gravity is the invisible force that attracts objects with mass towards each other, playing a crucial role in shaping the cosmos, from the formation of galaxies to the orbits of planets. https://www.earth.com/news/ theory-gravity-exists-without-mass-so-dark-matter-does-not-exist/

Meteoroids are difficult objects for aerospace and geophysics researchers like us to study, because we can’t usually predict when and where they will hit the atmosphere. https://www.astronomy.com/space-exploration/nasas-asteroid-bennu-sample-return-mission-was-a-prime-time-to-study-an-artificial-meteor/

How the Webb and Gaia missions bring a new perspective on galaxy formation

TWIS 06-13 APR 24

Simulating the universe As exciting as these discoveries are, they are proving hard to reconcile with models of galaxy formation we have now. Researchers typically plot out the story of galaxy formation using simulations, aiming to model the presence of features like stars and dark matter and seeing how those interact. Right now, however, none of these simulations exactly match what is seen in the Universe across time. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/06/how-the-webb-and-gaia-missions-bring-a-new-perspective-

Wind from black holes may influence development of surrounding galaxies Clouds of gas in a distant galaxy are being pushed faster and faster -- at more than 10,000 miles per second -- out among neighboring stars by blasts of radiation from the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s center.
