Recent discoveries highlight fascinating aspects of science, from the potential for extraterrestrial life indicated by the smells of space to the study of ocean acidification affecting corals. Researchers in Monaco have focused on Stylophora pistillata coral under acidic conditions to assess future reef resilience. Concurrently, scientists in Argentina protested severe funding cuts imposed by President Milei, which they claim jeopardize the nation’s science initiatives. Additionally, an ancient protein with ambidextrous properties sheds light on Earth’s evolutionary history, suggesting possibilities of life forms with mirror-image biological structures.
Researchers have grown coral in acidic conditions to study the impact of future ocean acidification, showcasing efforts to protect reefs impacted by climate change.
In Argentina, over 1,000 scientists protested against funding cuts that have severely compromised the scientific community, emphasizing the dire state of research under current governmental policies.
The discovery of an ambidextrous protein capable of functioning in both mirror-image forms suggests complex evolutionary processes, potentially linked to ancient 'mirror life' on Earth.
Physicist Fernando Stefani highlighted the funding crisis for scientists in Argentina, stating that promised financial support has not materialized, impeding ongoing research projects.
