Plant-based gummy candy helps vegans and vegetarians get their vitamins

Added: 10.11.2021 22:18 | 200 views | 0 comments

Worldwide, millions of people follow vegan and vegetarian diets for religious, ethical, environmental or economic reasons. While these diets have purported health benefits, they can also lack essential nutrients, such as vitamins B12 and D3, if not well-planned or supplemented correctly. Now, researchers have packed a strawberry-flavored gummy with these vitamins, formulating it without any animal products so vegans and vegetarians can reach their recommended daily allowances (RDA).

Mapping eukaryotic plankton globally in all their diversity

Added: 10.11.2021 22:18 | 203 views | 0 comments

Eukaryotic plankton are an essential and highly diverse component of marine ecosystems. A research team has established their global geographic distribution using DNA data and a probabilistic model. The study highlights large variations in geographic structure between plankton groups depending on their diversity, body size, and ecology, which can be linked to variations in sensitivity to local environmental conditions.

Astrophysicists Detect 35 New Gravitational-Wave Events

Added: 10.11.2021 22:17 | 198 views | 0 comments

Astrophysicists from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration have detected a further 35 gravitational waves since the last catalog release in October 2020, bringing to 90 the total number of observed events since gravitational-wave observations began. Of the 35 events detected, thirty two were most likely to be black hole mergers - two black holes spiraling around each [...]

Study: Eastern Honeybees Use Specific Sound to Communicate Threat of Giant Hornets

Added: 10.11.2021 20:28 | 331 views | 0 comments

An international team of researchers has documented the unique vibroacoustic signals the eastern honeybees (Apis cerana) use to alert members of their hive when dangerous predators - such as Vespa soror, a giant hornet species that can decimate honeybee colonies through group predation - attack. “Asian honeybees use an impressive array of strategies to protect nests [...]

Hubble Finds Free-Floating EGGs in Northern Coalsack Nebula

Added: 10.11.2021 19:32 | 191 views | 0 comments

The free-floating Evaporating Gaseous Globules (frEGGs) are the recently-discovered class of star-forming nurseries. frEGGs are compact globules of interstellar dust and gas within which low-mass stars are being born. These very rare objects were first identified in Hubble images of the Eagle Nebula in 1995. They have very long tails and are approximately 100 AU [...]

Paleoanthropologists Find Fossil Remains of Immature Homo naledi

Added: 10.11.2021 19:26 | 185 views | 0 comments

An international team of paleoanthropologists has discovered a partial skull and teeth from an immature individual of Homo naledi, a recently-discovered species of extinct hominin. The new fossil assemblage provides information about the maturation of Homo naledi and will be important in reconstructing the developmental sequence of immature remains from other Homo naledi occurrences. Homo naledi [...]

Extreme Heat Led to Episodic Deluges on Ancient ‘Hothouse’ Earth, Scientists Say

Added: 10.11.2021 19:26 | 215 views | 0 comments

The distant past of Earth and potentially its future include extremely warm ‘hothouse’ climate states, but little is known about how the atmosphere of our planet behaves in such states. “If you were to look at a large patch of the deep tropics today, it’s always raining somewhere,” said Dr. Jacob Seeley, a postdoctoral researcher [...]

CERN Physicists Observe Triple J-psi Meson Production

Added: 10.11.2021 19:26 | 205 views | 0 comments

Physicists from the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have observed three J/ψ particles emerging from a single collision between two protons. The J/ψ meson (J/psi meson or psion) is a flavor-neutral meson about three times more massive than a proton. This particle consists of a charm and an anti-charm [...]
