A magnetic pulse helped build the solar system, and healing may not need the trip

MIT researchers led by Benjamin Weiss measured the magnetic signatures locked inside those grains and found evidence of a field stronger than the one Earth generates today, present while the sun was still a collapsing cloud of gas and dust 3. For a century the story of how that cloud flattened into a disk and birthed the sun and planets has belonged almost entirely to gravity. This finding, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, says magnetism was pulling material inward right alongside it.

It does: consistent, significant reductions in both acute and chronic pain, not only for joint conditions but for neurological, inflammatory, and cancer-related pain too. On a 10-point scale, exercise produced a 1.1-point reduction, which the researchers say beats the pain relief reported from common medications by about 60 percent.

The striking part: they got the same durable effect when the mice were anesthetized through the drug's acute phase, meaning whatever made the mice more social didn't require them to consciously experience anything. The findings appear in Nature Communications.

Of the 755 who took hormone replacement therapy, those who started within 10 years of their first symptoms were 27 percent less likely to have a fatal or non-fatal cardiovascular event than women who never took it; 224 such events occurred across the full study. Start more than a decade after symptoms began, and that protective link mostly disappears.

So the professor built a freshman seminar called "Friendship & Society" around 10 hands-on exercises, including a "friendship safari" where students walk campus noting exactly where conversations start and where students silently pass each other. Meanwhile at Dickinson College, students across the political aisle are practicing something related: staying in a room with someone they disagree with and actually listening, resisting the pull to demean or dismiss them 75.

The shortage it targets is already costing patients: targeted alpha therapies, cancer treatments that attack tumors directly while sparing healthy tissue, have had clinical trials paused or delayed across the UK and Europe simply because the isotopes don't exist in sufficient supply. StandardX plans to supply its first isotopes to a medical research partner in 2027, and the same platform is designed to eventually produce tritium, the fuel fusion reactors need; only about 25 kilograms exist on the planet right now.

The government's own claims are enormous, 48 billion trees in seven years, including 353 million seedlings in a single day, numbers independent researchers are still working to verify given that similar programs elsewhere have seen under half their seedlings survive five years. What isn't in dispute: Ethiopia's annual deforestation rate fell from 92,000 hectares in 2013 to 27,703 hectares in 2023, a drop of roughly 70 percent. In the Berbere district, 35-year-old Halima Kedir started planting despite her neighbors' doubts and now tends a garden of banana, olive, and grevillea trees she describes, using the Oromo tradition of adopting children into a family, as her own.

The transition came with technical and financial support from The Transfarmation Project, an initiative of Mercy for Animals that provides open-source blueprints for converting industrial pig, poultry, and dairy barns into other kinds of farms. The Faaborgs are being paid $216,000 over four years to track their costs, labor, and margins as the program's second US demonstration hub, following a former chicken farm in North Carolina.
