Common type of inflammatory bowel disease linked to toxic bacteria

Spinning vortices of water trapped beneath the Thwaites glacier ice shelf are responsible for 20 percent of its ice melt. As global temperatures rise, these undersea 'storms' are expected to intensify, raising concerns about the stability of this critical ice mass.

Around 1000 markings on a slab of rock, which was once a seafloor during the Cretaceous period, may have been created by the flippers of sea turtles. These markings were likely quickly buried by an earthquake, preserving the evidence of the turtles' movement.

Conventional computing devices will play a crucial role in turning quantum computers into tools with real-world applications. The integration of classical computing is essential for maximizing the potential of quantum technologies.

Astronauts attached moss spores to the exterior of the International Space Station (ISS) for a duration of 283 days. Remarkably, most of these spores survived the harsh conditions of space and were able to germinate upon their return to Earth.

Scientists have observed that mice assist each other during difficult births, indicating a level of caregiving previously unrecognized in rodents. This behavior suggests a complex social structure among mice, prompting further investigation into the dynamics of caregiving in the animal kingdom.

Orforglipron, a GLP-1 drug administered in pill form, has shown positive results in treating obesity and type 2 diabetes. However, it appears to be less effective compared to existing injectable weight-loss medications.

Recent research highlights the health implications of men losing their Y chromosome, revealing its complex role in lung cancer, the most prevalent form of the disease. This loss may influence cancer outcomes in ways that are not yet fully understood.
