Science X Newsletter Week 26

Dear Reader ,

Here is your customized Science X Newsletter for week 26:

	Scientists find evidence of complex organic molecules from Enceladus Using mass spectrometry data from NASA's Cassini spacecraft, scientists found that large, carbon-rich organic molecules are ejected from cracks in the icy surface of Saturn's moon Enceladus. Southwest Research Institute scientists think chemical reactions between the moon's rocky core and warm water from its subsurface ocean are linked to these complex molecules.
	Researchers discover volcanic heat source under major Antarctic glacier A researcher from the University of Rhode Island's Graduate School of Oceanography and five other scientists have discovered an active volcanic heat source beneath the Pine Island Glacier in Antarctica.
	Self-heating, fast-charging battery makes electric vehicles climate-immune Californians do not purchase electric vehicles because they are cool, they buy EVs because they live in a warm climate. Conventional lithium-ion batteries cannot be rapidly charged at temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, but now a team of Penn State engineers has created a battery that can self-heat, allowing rapid charging regardless of the outside chill.
	Men's testosterone levels largely determined by where they grow up Men's testosterone levels are largely determined by their environment during childhood, according to new research.
	'Breakthrough' algorithm exponentially faster than any previous one What if a large class of algorithms used today—from the algorithms that help us avoid traffic to the algorithms that identify new drug molecules—worked exponentially faster?
	Wendelstein 7-X achieves world record for fusion product In the past experimentation round Wendelstein 7-X achieved higher temperatures and densities of the plasma, longer pulses and the stellarator world record for the fusion product. Moreover, first confirmation for the optimisation concept on which Wendelstein 7-X is based, was obtained. Wendelstein 7-X at Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) in Greifswald, the world's largest fusion device of the stellarator type, is investigating the suitability of this concept for application in power plants.
	Japan space probe reaches asteroid in search for origin of life A Japanese probe has reached an asteroid 300 million kilometres away to collect information about the birth of the solar system and the origin of life after a more than three-year voyage through deep space.
	Delivering insulin in a pill—Technique could replace daily injections for diabetics Given the choice of taking a pill or injecting oneself with a needle, most of us would opt to regulate a chronic health condition by swallowing a pill. But for millions of people living with type 1 diabetes, a painful needle prick once or twice daily is the only option for delivering the insulin that their bodies cannot produce on their own.
	AI recreates chemistry's periodic table of elements It took nearly a century of trial and error for human scientists to organize the periodic table of elements, arguably one of the greatest scientific achievements in chemistry, into its current form.
	Scientists discover a new mechanism that prevents the proliferation of cancer cells Canadian researchers have discovered a new and direct molecular mechanism to stop cancer cells from proliferating. In the prestigious journal Nature Cell Biology, scientists from Université de Montréal show that a disruption of a fine balance in the composition of ribosomes (huge molecules that translate the genetic code into proteins) results in a shutdown of cancer cell proliferation, triggering a process called senescence.
	Quantum gas reveals first signs of path-bending monopole Magnets, whether in the form of a bar, horseshoe or electromagnet, always have two poles. If you break a magnet in half, you'll end up with two new magnets, each with its own magnetic north and south.
	More clues that Earth-like exoplanets are indeed Earth-like A new study from the Georgia Institute of Technology provides new clues indicating that an exoplanet 500 light-years away is much like Earth.
	Rocket developed by Japan startup in flames after liftoff A rocket developed by a Japanese startup company burst into flames seconds after a failed liftoff Saturday in northern Japan.
	New insights bolster Einstein's idea about how heat moves through solids A discovery by scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory supports a century-old theory by Albert Einstein that explains how heat moves through everything from travel mugs to engine parts.
	Cockatoo discovery reveals flourishing medieval trade routes around Australia's north Images of an Australasian cockatoo have been discovered in a manuscript dating from 13th century Sicily, now held in the Vatican library.
	At any point in life, people spend their time in 25 places At any given time, people regularly return to a maximum of 25 places. This is the finding of a scientific study that reveals entirely new aspects of human behavior.
	Scientists can predict intelligence from brain scans If you've ever lied about your IQ to seem more intelligent, it's time to fess up. Scientists can now tell how smart you are just by looking at a scan of your brain.
	Don't let depression keep you from exercising Exercise may be just as crucial to a depression patient's good health as finding an effective antidepressant.
	Australian feral cats kill a million reptiles a day: study Feral cats kill more than one million reptiles every day in Australia, a new study showed Monday, with the staggering slaughter threatening many species.
	Spectral cloaking could make objects invisible under realistic conditions Researchers and engineers have long sought ways to conceal objects by manipulating how light interacts with them. A new study offers the first demonstration of invisibility cloaking based on the manipulation of the frequency (color) of light waves as they pass through an object, a fundamentally new approach that overcomes critical shortcomings of existing cloaking technologies.
