    Fingerprints of stratospheric particle transport and fallout

    Central to the overall circulation pattern is the polar vortex, a fast‑moving wind system that surrounds both poles at the interface of the troposphere and stratosphere. Recent work by Yifeng Peng and colleagues shows that the amount of…

    🧬 Scientists have for the first time sequenced RNA from 40,000-year-old mammoth

    • Scientists have for the first time successfully sequenced RNA from a 40,000-year-old mammoth, which is the oldest RNA ever analyzed.
    • The RNA shows which genes were active in the muscles just before the mammoth died, providing direct…

    Astronomers discover nearby super-earth in star’s zone

    Astronomers have discovered a potentially habitable super-Earth located a relatively short 18 light-years from our solar system, positioning it as one of the closest known exoplanets with conditions that could support life. The newly identified…

    Scientists can now watch metal crystals grow inside liquid metal

    If you dissolve sugar in hot water and then cool it down, you’ll see pure sugar crystals form while impurities stay in the liquid. You can even watch the beautiful sugar crystals slowly grow in the water.

    You can do the same thing with…
