Heavy hydrogen in 3I/ATLAS's methane points to a frigid birthplace
The interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS carries a chemical clue to conditions in the planetary system of its origin, locked away long before it reached our sun. Its methane signature is unusually rich in heavy hydrogen, suggesting that…

Why some trees thrive far from home—and what that means for carbon sinksIn a study spanning 192 sites and four continents, researchers have discovered that conifers planted in the Southern Hemisphere grow up to four times faster and are more drought-resistant than those growing in their native ranges.How permanent daylight saving time could affect schoolsSleep is fundamental to well-being. Decisions to end semiannual clock changes and remain on permanent daylight saving time (DST) in British Columbia, the Northwest Territories, Alberta, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario have…2,700-year-old mummy head yields first molecular evidence linking aloe to Egyptian embalmingWhat materials did ancient Egyptians use to preserve the dead, and how can their composition still be investigated thousands of years later?
