Studies provide more insight into the internal structure of Mars

Seismic data from NASA's InSight lander reveals Mars' core is likely surrounded by a molten silicate layer, suggesting it is smaller and denser than previously thought. Two studies in Nature used seismic signals, simulations and models to estimate the size and composition of the core. Results suggest a higher density…

The Inner Core of Mars Is Even Weirder Than We Thought

Two new papers suggest a surprising layer of molten rock may coat Mars' gooey middle.

Reproduce or it didn’t happen: why replicable science is better science

Reproducibility is the essence of scientific truth. Karl Popper wrote non-reproducible single occurrences are of no significance to science. To improve reproducibility, robust experimental design, better stats, data sharing, authenticated biomaterials, publishing negative data, better mentorship needed. We can't depend on one outcome/study. It's our collective responsibility to ensure reproducibility.

Nipah infection possible in more places in Southeast Asia, says Nature article

Nipah virus reservoirs in SE Asia, India may cause cross-species transmission to humans. Early detection systems needed.

New ‘quantum engine’ does work by flipping the identity of atoms

New ‘quantum engine’ does work by flipping the identity of atoms

Physicists have created a ‘quantum engine’ to convert the energy difference between two quantum states - fermionic and bosonic - of some atoms into work. The device adapts the principles of a classical engine to subatomic realm, allowing physicists to study quantum thermodynamics with better control and to potentially better…

Two of every five amphibians threatened with extinction, reveals study

Climate change is emerging as a major threat to frogs, salamanders, and caecilians, according to a new study. Data from over 8,000 species showed that two out of five amphibians are threatened with extinction, with climate change being the primary threat for 39%. Habitat destruction and degradation, disease, and overexploitation…
