A Cosmic Chemical Breakthrough: Astronomers Discover New Building Blocks for Complex Organic Matter
National Radio Astronomy Observatory

The element carbon is a building block for life, both on Earth and potentially elsewhere in the vast reaches of space. There should be a lot of carbon in space, but surprisingly, it's not always easy to find. While it can be observed in many places, it doesn’t add up to the volume astronomers would expect to see. The discovery of a new, complex molecule (1-cyanopyrene), challenges these expectations, about where the building blocks for carbon are found, and how they evolve. This research was published today in the journal Science.

Beneficial Gut Microbe Has Surprising Metabolic Capabilities
Washington University in St. Louis

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have identified potentially far-reaching effects of a particular gut bacterium that was linked to better growth in Bangladeshi children receiving a therapeutic food designed to nurture healthy gut microbes. The far-reaching effects include regulating appetite, immune responses, neuronal function, and the ability of pathogenic bacteria to produce disease.

For Heating Plasma in Fusion Devices, Researchers Unravel How Electrons Respond to Neutral Beam Injection
Department of Energy, Office of Science

Plasmas for fusion research can be heated using neutral beam injection (NBI). With NBI, fast neutral particles from a beam source are injected into the plasma then ionized so that the particles can transfer energy to existing plasma electrons and ions. This transfers the ions’ energy and heats the plasma.

Study Details Misuse of Scientific Publications by Opioid Industry
Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

A new study led by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health found that makers and marketers of prescription opioid painkillers misused scientific evidence to advance five common and inaccurate claims about the safety and effectiveness of prescription opioids—including that they were not addictive.
