According to most geophysical models, earthquakes should not happen more than 300 kilometers beneath Earth's surface. However, they commonly do, an event that has confounded seismologists for years. Imperfections such as the inclusions (dark flecks) in this diamond reveal that tectonic slabs can carry water deep into Earth's mantle. EVAN SMITH/© 2021 GIA Researchers suggest...
Credit: IStock Hair-care and beauty items marketed to Black women commonly contain a class of hormone-disrupting chemicals called parabens. According to new research. Those chemicals are not only connected to increased breast cancer threat. But can also uniquely sustain the spread of cancer cells in Black ladies. Compared to white women. Parabens are a team of...
A multi-population phenome-wide organization research of genetically predicted elevation in the Million Professional Program. In a current research study published in the Journal PLoS Genetics, scientists checked out just how elevation established a number of typical professional traits in grownups by contrasting organizations of those traits with real- as well as genetically-predicted-height. They utilized the...
Fig. 1: Schematic view of the 3He+ ion’s external and internal magnetic interactions. Background: microwave radiation. Credit: MPI In joint experimental-theoretical research published in Nature, physicists at the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics (MPIK), together with collaborators from RIKEN, Japan, investigated the magnetic properties of the isotope helium-3. For the first time, the electronic and...
Nuclear fusion. Credit: The Conversation. The reinforcement learning algorithm, which controls the scorching plasma within a tokamak nuclear fusion reactor, was developed by an AI company backed by Google. The interior of a tokamak– the doughnut-shaped vessel created to include a nuclear fusion reaction– presents a unique type of chaos. Hydrogen atoms are shattered together at...

Which enzymes do they create, and when? And how do the bacteria metabolize health-promoting foods that aid us in minimizing disease? To obtain replies to such matters, researchers at...
Scientists have discovered evidence that the Earth’s inner core oscillates, contradicting previously held beliefs that it consistently rotates at a faster rate than the planet’s surface. A groundbreaking study by USC researchers challenges the previous model that the Earth's inner core rotates continuously faster than the planet's surface. According to their research, published in Science Advances,...
Dogs to detect COVID-19. Credit: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. A current research by the University of Helsinki and Helsinki University Hospital affirmed that scent detection dogs can be taught to recognize people with a coronavirus infection from skin swabs. In the experimental set-up at Finland's Helsinki-Vantaa International Airport, the dogs' accuracy in...
