A discovery has been made that could enable scientists to design better ways to use light energy and to engineer crop plants that more efficiently harness the energy of the sun. The identification of a gene needed to expand light harvesting in photosynthesis into the far-red-light spectrum provides clues to the evolution of oxygen-producing photosynthesis, an evolutionary advance that changed the history of life on Earth.

More than 100 years ago, a massive explosion ripped through the sky over the Tunguska region of Siberia, flattening trees nearly 31 miles around. The blast is thought to have been produced by a comet or asteroid hurtling through Earth's atmosphere at over 33,500 miles per hour, resulting in an explosion equal to 185 Hiroshima bombs as pressure and heat rapidly increased. But, with no impact crater and little evidence of such an object ever found, scientists remain perplexed as to what truly caused the event in which 'the sky was split in two.' In the image above, the affected area is shown in 2008, in colour, compared with a view from decades earlier. Pictures from 1908, bottom right, and 1938, top right, reveal how the trees were ripped from the ground.

One of the uncomfortable facts of life is that some countries — and within the U.S., some states — are more violent than others. Figuring out what makes societies and communities more violent is a big-time quest for social scientists, since if you know what leads to killing, you'll have a better shot at defusing it. Drawing on a host of studies, a new paper (PDF) in Behavioral and Brain Sciences -- lead-authored by Paul A. M. Van Lange of Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam -- proposes a model for understanding violence with the only somewhat forced-sounding acronym CLASH, short for CLimate, Aggression, and Self-control in Humans.
Our brain does not work like a typical computer memory storing just ones and zeroes: thanks to a much larger variation in memory states, it can calculate faster consuming less energy. Scientists have now developed a ferro-electric material with a memory function resembling synapses and neurons in the brain, resulting in a multistate memory.
Prosocial behaviors, such as willingness to help others, may be linked to specific personalities. Agreeableness is one of the better predictors of prosocial behavior, say scientists.

Scientists at the University of Surrey are gearing up to test technologies which could target potentially hazardous space junk (bottom right) and remove it from orbit before it can cause any damage. The first experiment will use a net to capture a target (top right) in the form of a small CubeSat launched from the main satellite. A second experiment will see the satellite trial a harpoon to snag debris (top left). This approach of spear-fishing for space trash would again require precise targeting and tracking of the debris. The final approach involves the use of a drag sail (bottom left), whereby future satellites could be fitted with an inflatable boom on which the sail in unfurled. The sail would effectively act as a space parachute, increasing the drag and causing the satellite to fall out of orbit and burn up in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Researchers are now pointing the way to making it possible to produce nanomagnets with low zero-point energy and thus a higher degree of stability.

Scientists have identified a specific network of proteins present in mitochondria of tumor cells that is essential for maintaining a clean function of mitochondria, enabling not only the proliferation of tumor cells but also their ability to move and invade distant organs. By understanding the players involved, the scientists were able to turn off individual subunits within the network, which greatly reduced the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread, suggesting an attractive new therapeutic target.

Researchers calculate that in Paris, the hottest city in Europe during the heatwave in summer 2003, 506 out of 735 summer deaths recorded in the French capital were due to a heatwave made worse by human-made climate change. The impact was less severe in London, with an additional 64 deaths out of a total of 315 heat-related deaths.

A 'roman inspired' statue's head was found laying among the rocks on the red planet. While investigating images from the Curiosity rover, YouTuber Paranormal Crucible reports a bizarre sighting of an interesting relic that 'looks like a statue's head -- 'possibly roman inspired or very similar in design'. Other alien hunters have chimed in to voice their opinion, saying it could be a head of a living being that’s been hacked off at a moment of war or perhaps AI robots. However, both Martian researchers are sure this is 'definitely not a rock'.
Astrobiologists at Columbia University in New York have drawn up an equation that they say could help to identify whether life could have started on a distant planet outside our solar system.
Astronomers have discovered a planet with three suns, where an observer would experience either constant daylight or triple sunrises and sunsets depending on the seasons, which last longer than a human lifetime.
A team of astronomers have used the SPHERE instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope to image the first planet ever found in a wide orbit inside a triple-star system. The orbit of such a planet had been expected to be unstable, probably resulting in the planet being quickly ejected from the system. But somehow this one survives. This unexpected observation suggests that such systems may actually be more common than previously thought.
