🌠 Milky Way has a wild cosmic engine 🌌

Scientists found a mysterious object blasting energy thousands of times stronger than the LHC. This natural particle accelerator, named LHAASO J1912+1014u, is located in the constellation Aquila. The object accelerates protons to PeV energies, which are the highest known in our galaxy as of 2024. Initial thoughts as a supernova remnant were disproven using data from three observatories. This discovery could explain the galaxy's most energetic cosmic rays moving near the speed of light.

🔬 One code, two life beginnings revealed

Scientists uncovered how LUCA, the last common ancestor of all life, split into bacteria and archaea. This research, led by HHU scientists, published in Science Advances, investigated early cell metabolisms. The study found about half of LUCA's reactions were metal-catalyzed instead of enzyme-catalyzed. This evolution helped life move from hydrothermal vents by developing new enzymes. The lineages independently evolved, showing one genetic code but two origins of life. 🔬

🥗 High-protein diet craze: Is it actually good for you?

High-protein diets are trending, but experts say overall balanced nutrition is what matters most for long-term health. Himanshi Sharma, chief clinical nutritionist at ISIC Multispecialty Hospital, New Delhi, issued a caution against focusing solely on protein intake.

Seek professional advice before drastically changing your diet or relying on supplements.

💡 Light therapy can reset your body's clock 💡

Scientists proved in 1989 that carefully timed bright light can effectively reset the body's biological clock. This discovery was made by researchers who studied the impact of light exposure on human circadian rhythms. The landmark study showed morning light shifts sleep earlier, while evening light can delay the internal clock. This research now underpins treatments for insomnia and jet lag globally. Specialists often combine light therapy with behavioral strategies to help patients align their sleep schedules.
