How deliberately giving people illnesses is supercharging medicine

Researchers have developed an experimental vaccine that successfully prevents life-threatening allergic reactions, specifically anaphylaxis, in mice for up to a year by blocking a molecule that triggers an overactive immune response.

Recent research indicates that owning a dog may positively influence human well-being by altering the microbiome, potentially making individuals more caring and sociable. This finding highlights the significant role pets play in shaping human health and emotional states.

More than half a million satellites are planned for launch by the end of the 2030s, raising concerns about their potential to severely impact images captured by the Hubble Space Telescope, according to simulations. This influx of satellites could obstruct the view of celestial bodies and interfere with astronomical observations.

Recent research suggests that the moon's formation may have resulted from three significant impacts during Earth's early history, challenging the traditional single-impact theory. This three-impact model could provide a more comprehensive understanding of the moon's origins and the dynamics of the early solar system.

Ancient human artefacts have been discovered near caves in the Arabian desert, indicating that this region, now arid, was once a thriving habitat for ancient humans and animals approximately 100,000 years ago. This finding sheds light on the early human presence in the Arabian peninsula and their adaptation to changing environments.

The double-slit experiment and the quantum eraser experiment challenge traditional notions of matter and time, suggesting that the past may not be as concrete as previously thought. These experiments reveal that the act of observation can alter outcomes, leading to profound implications for our understanding of reality.

Recent research has revealed that two conflicting theories regarding disorder within black holes converge on unexpected conclusions, suggesting a potential shift in the understanding of space and time. This finding highlights the intricate relationship between black holes and the fundamental laws governing the universe.

Researchers have confirmed that Asteroid Bennu, which was sampled in 2020, contains all the essential molecules for life, including the recently discovered missing ingredient: sugar.
