New Research Reveals the Moon Is Older Than Previously Believed

Uncategorized / Mauro Lucas

Recent research from scientists in the U.S., France, and Germany suggests the Moon formed as early as 4.53 billion years ago—hundreds of millions of years earlier than previously thought. This new timeline could explain lunar mysteries like the scarcity of massive impact basins and the Moon’s lower metal content compared to Earth, while offering fresh

First-Time Cocaine Use in Rats Highlights Individual Susceptibility to Addiction

Basic Research, Uncategorized / Mauro Lucas

Researchers at the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) explored how rats react to cocaine paired with an unpleasant stimulus, uncovering new insights into addiction vulnerability. In the experiment, nearly 30 rats self-administered intravenous doses of cocaine hydrochloride combined with quinine—a bitter but safe compound—via a nose-poke mechanism. The quinine hit preceded the cocaine
