Lunar Temperature Fluctuations: Understanding the Moon's Extreme Conditions
The Moon's surface undergoes extreme temperature shifts, ranging from over 100°C in daylight to minus 100°C in darkness. These fluctuations are due to the lack of atmosphere, which causes rapid temperature changes. The Moon's regolith, poor at conducting heat, leads to insulation at deeper levels. Shaded areas, particularly in lunar pits, maintai...

Polar Bears in Alaska Face Rising Pathogen Threats Due to Climate Change
Polar bears in the Chukchi Sea are increasingly exposed to pathogens like Toxoplasma gondii, brucellosis, and canine distemper due to warming climates. Researchers revealed a significant rise in pathogen antibodies in polar bears since the 1990s, linking this trend to reduced sea ice, altered diets, and human interaction. The findings raise concern...

ChatGPT Outperformed Doctors in Diagnosing Diseases and Medical Conditions, Says Study
ChatGPT was able to outperform human doctors in diagnosing diseases and medical conditions in a study. While the study aimed to understand if AI chatbots can help doctors provide better diagnoses, the results unexpectedly revealed that OpenAI’s GPT-4-powered chatbot performed much better when performing without human assistance compared to when p...

Future Supercontinent Pangea Ultima Could Trigger Mass Extinction, Reveals New Study
A University of Bristol study warns that Earth’s future supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and mammals. Due to a combination of rising CO₂ levels, increased solar radiation, and vast land area far from oceanic cooling, the supercontinent could experience widespread extreme temperatures. Though millions o...

Researchers Identify Amygdala Cell Clusters To Treat Anxiety and Depression
A recent study by UC Davis researchers has unveiled specific cell clusters in the amygdala that could provide insights into treating anxiety and depression. By examining these cell types in both humans and non-human primates, the research opens pathways for targeted therapies. Notably, FOXP2-expressing cells could serve as vital targets for new dru...

SpaceX Reveals Futuristic Crew Cabins and Living Quarters for Artemis III Moon Mission
SpaceX has introduced detailed mock-ups of crew cabins, sleeping quarters, and research labs as part of its Human Landing System (HLS) Starship, designed for the Artemis III Moon landing in 2026. Located within the HLS nosecone at SpaceX's Starbase facility in Texas, these designs aim to maximise comfort and functionality for astronauts, supporting...

Ancient Humans Remained in Frigid Central Europe During Last Ice Age, New Study Reveals
A recent study has revealed that some ancient humans did not retreat from Central Europe during the last ice age. Instead, they adapted to the harsh conditions, similar to species like brown bears and wolves. Led by Oxala García-Rodríguez from Bournemouth University, the study utilised genetic data to show how humans thrived in frigid climates, w...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...
