Scientists in the UK have successfully revived living cells from a southern white rhino that passed away in 2021. Nature's SAFE, a conservation charity, cultivated millions of cells from a preserved skin sample. This breakthrough offers new hope for restoring endangered populations by potentially creating viable egg or sperm cells, marking a significant advancement in conservation efforts.

A new study suggests a massive meteorite impact 3.26 billion years ago, far larger than the dinosaur killer, may have acted as a "giant fertilizer bomb" on early Earth. This impact, releasing vital nutrients like phosphorus and mixing ocean layers, potentially spurred a microbial explosion. The event highlights how catastrophic events could foster biological innovation and diversification in early life.
A recent study by sociologists at the University of Cologne reveals a paradox: parents find life more meaningful than childfree individuals, yet report lower life satisfaction. This disparity, highlighted in the Journal of Marriage and Family, stems from challenges exacerbated by inadequate family policies. Scandinavian countries, with robust childcare and parental support, show minimal difference in satisfaction between parents and non-parents.
The James Webb Space Telescope has spotted MoM z14. It is the most distant galaxy ever seen. This galaxy existed 280 million years after the Big Bang. It redefines our view of galaxy formation. Scientists found carbon and nitrogen in MoM z14. This suggests earlier galaxies existed. The telescope's discovery is reshaping the understanding of the early universe.
NASA sleep experts reveal social jet lag, a misalignment between internal body clocks and daily schedules, affects millions. Inconsistent sleep habits disrupt natural rhythms, leading to fatigue and health issues. Combat it with consistent sleep schedules, morning light exposure, and optimized sleep environments to improve overall well-being and reclaim lost energy.
Astronaut Nichole Ayers, aboard the International Space Station, captured a stunning display of the Northern Lights over North America. While photographing severe storms, Ayers unexpectedly witnessed the vibrant green and purple aurora, triggered by heightened geomagnetic activity. The NOAA reported a Kp index of 6, enhancing visibility from space and Earth.
