Scientists stunned by a massive hydrothermal field off Greece

A new study published in Scientific Reports describes the discovery of an unusually large hydrothermal vent field on the shallow seafloor surrounding the Greek island of Milos. The vents were found during the METEOR expedition M192, when scientists carried out detailed surveys using multiple techniques. These included underwater mapping tools…

Why your vitamin D supplements might not be working

Researchers at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center report that magnesium plays a key role in regulating vitamin D levels in the body. In a randomized clinical trial, magnesium increased vitamin D in people who were deficient, while reducing levels in those who already had high amounts. The findings suggest magnesium helps keep…

MIT scientists find a way to rejuvenate the immune system as we age

As people get older, the immune system often becomes less effective. Populations of T cells shrink, and the remaining cells may respond more slowly to germs. That slowdown can leave older adults more vulnerable to many kinds of infections. To address this age related decline, scientists from MIT and the…

Scientists found a dangerous feedback loop accelerating Arctic warming

Earth’s climate is shifting worldwide, but the fastest changes are happening near the poles. New research from Penn State offers a detailed look at how chemical reactions in the Arctic atmosphere are unfolding, revealing that several distinct processes are interacting at the same time and reshaping the region’s climate. Scientists…

The brain has a hidden language and scientists just found it

Scientists have developed a protein that can record the chemical messages brain cells receive, rather than focusing only on the signals they send out. These incoming signals are created when neurons release glutamate, a neurotransmitter that plays a vital role in brain communication. Although glutamate is essential for processes like…

A gold catalyst just broke a decade old green chemistry record

Acetaldehyde is an essential chemical building block that plays a major role in modern manufacturing. It is commonly produced using the ethylene-based Wacker oxidation process, a method that is expensive and carries significant environmental drawbacks. Converting bioethanol into acetaldehyde through selective oxidation offers a more sustainable alternative, but most existing…
