New Interpretation of the Moon’s Age: A Tidal Heating-Driven Remelting Event Academic Background The formation of the Moon has been a significant issue in planetary science. Currently, the most widely accepted theory for the Moon’s formation is the “Giant Impact Hypothesis,” which posits that during the late stages of Earth’s formation, a Mars-size...

Report on the Study of Diatom Phytochromes Integrating Underwater Light Spectrum to Sense Depth Academic Background The distribution of light in marine ecosystems profoundly influences aquatic life. Light not only attenuates with depth but also undergoes significant spectral changes. However, research on how phytoplankton perceive these light chang...

The Impact of Atmospheric Rivers on Warm Winters and Extreme Heat Events Academic Background Atmospheric Rivers (ARs) are narrow regions of intense water vapor transport in the Earth’s atmosphere, typically carrying large amounts of moisture from the subtropics to mid-latitudes and polar regions. These transient phenomena dominate global moisture t...

Record-Low Antarctic Sea Ice in 2023: Increased Ocean Heat Loss and Storms Academic Background The recent decline in Antarctic sea ice has raised significant concerns within the scientific community, particularly the record-low sea ice extent observed in 2023. While progress has been made in identifying the drivers of ice loss, the consequences for...

Exploration of the History of Water on Mars: From Seasonal Cycles to Long-Term Evolution Academic Background As one of the planets in the solar system closest to Earth, Mars has long been a focus of scientific interest. The presence and evolution of water on Mars are directly related to whether the planet once had conditions suitable for life. Unde...

Mantle Oxidation by Sulfur Drives the Formation of Giant Gold Deposits in Subduction Zones Academic Background Most of Earth’s metal resources are concentrated in magmatic arc environments, and subduction zones are the primary regions for mass exchange between the mantle and crust. Fluids released from subducting slabs are believed to oxidize the o...

In the global context, the Planetary Health Diet has been proposed as a way to improve human health while protecting the Earth. However, studies on the relationship between the Planetary Health Diet and cognitive decline are very limited. To fill this research gap, researchers Natalia Gomes Gonçalves, Leandro Teixeira Cacau, Naomi Vidal Ferreira, P...

A Large Prospective Cohort Study in the United States Reveals Potential Links Between Outdoor Air Pollution and Subtypes of Adult Hematologic Cancers Background and Purpose In recent years, the impact of outdoor air pollution on human health has garnered extensive attention. Since 2013, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has cla...

Archaeological Evidence Reveals the Continuity of Ice Age Rituals Among Australian Indigenous Peoples Research Background This study aims to explore the possibility of tracing traditional rituals in Indigenous societies through archaeological means. In societies without written records, ethnographic knowledge spanning more than a few hundred years ...
