Rain May Have Helped Form the First Cells | RealClearScience
1 day ago · With another colleague, Anusha Vonteddu, I found that rainwater indeed stabilizes protocells against fusion. Rain, we believe, may have paved the way for the first cells. Droplets with meshy walls resist fusion and prevent leakage of their RNA. In this image, each color represents a different type of RNA.
Ancient Humans Were Adept at Surviving the Last Ice Age

Plastic Bottle Recycling in the U.S. Is Abysmal. A Simple Plan Could ...
5 days ago · Through a complex economic analysis, the MIT researchers estimated that if the U.S. implemented a nationwide DRS with a 10 cent refund value for recycling PET bottles, 82 percent of them would be recycled by 2035. Moreover, as mechanically recycled PET offers an 85% reduction in emissions compared to virgin PET, the climate would benefit as well.
The Universe Is Smoother Than Theory Suggests
Sep 27, 2024 · But detailed mapping of the CMB tells us a great deal more than this. A key insight from CMB maps obtained with the Planck telescope is that the universe was also exceptionally smooth at early times. There was only a 0.001% variation from place to place in the density and temperature of the matter and radiation in the universe.

The real world effectiveness of the Moderna and Pfizer (mRNA) vaccines appears to be sinking like a stone. We started at 94+% within 2 months of vaccination and against the original SARS-CoV-2 strain.
Red Meat Is Not a Health Risk. A New Study Slams Years of …
Nov 14, 2022 · Studies have been linking red meat consumption to health problems like heart disease, stroke, and cancer for years. But nestled in the recesses of those published papers are notable limitations. Nearly all the research is observational, unable to tease out causation convincingly. Most are plagued by confounding variables.
