Scientists are Teaching Shrimp to Eat in Microgravity for Future Moon Bases

As far as we know, food doesn’t exist naturally in space. We have to bring it with us if we want to explore the final frontier. One of the oldest and most common types of food on planet Earth is seafood, yet we know surprisingly little about how aquatic animals would react to the microgravity environment they would experience in space. A new paper by researchers at Japan’s Okayama University of Science, which was recently published in Microgravity Science and Technology, hopes to tackle that question. It used a novel way to simulate microgravity to watch how crustaceans would react to the space environment, and found that they could likely be good candidates as part of a future space food chain.

Most microgravity experiments on Earth take place in drop chambers or parabolic flights — both of which only offer a few seconds of true “microgravity”, and aren’t suitable for longer duration testing. The International Space Station offers an alternative, but is extremely expensive and has very limited space to run additional experiments. So the researchers turned to an alternative tool — the clinostat.

These specialized chambers rapidly change the orientation their contents are subjected to, varying the gravity field they experience and mimicking at least some of the effects of microgravity. They rotate in such a way that the combination of gravity and centrifugal force will eventually come out to essentially zero over a period of time. These machines work well for single-celled organisms and plants. But they’re not as effective for complex animals.

Physical activity in infancy is associated with body composition at age three

The prevalence of obesity in the pediatric population is increasing, driven by a multifactorial etiology that includes genetic predisposition as well as both prenatal and postnatal influences. We aimed to explore associations between child physical activity (PA) at ages one and three years and body composition at age three. Furthermore, we investigated associations between maternal PA during pregnancy and child body composition at age three.

Mother-child pairs (n = 68) from a pregnancy PA intervention study were included. Children’s PA was assessed at one-and three-year follow-ups using 7-day accelerometry and categorized into 24-hour PA and daytime PA (6 a.m. – 8 p.m.). Child body composition was measured by Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and expressed as fat-free mass (FFM) and body fat percentage (BF%). Maternal moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA (MVPA) was measured using a commercial activity tracker. Associations between maternal and child PA and child body composition were examined using linear regression. Variables used for model adjustment included maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, maternal educational level at baseline, parity, maternal age at baseline, child walking status at age one, child sex, and child age at the three-year follow-up.

We found a positive association between daytime PA at age one and child FFM at age three. Daytime PA at age three was positively associated with FFM, and 24-hour PA at age three was negatively associated with BF% and positively associated with FFM. A 10% increase in 24-hour PA was associated with approximately 400 g higher FFM. Maternal MVPA during pregnancy showed no association with child body composition at age three.

Researchers identify class of ‘oddball’ meteorite that killed the dinosaurs

A rare CO chondrite meteorite was the probable impacter that struck Earth 66 million years ago, wiping out 75% of Earth’s species, including nonavian dinosaurs. These findings are published in Science Advances. Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Paris, Brussels and Vienna, used advanced nickel isotope analysis of samples to narrow down the composition of the deadly Cretaceous-Paleogene meteorite.

“Carbonaceous chondrites of the Ornans class are definitely not like the typical meteors you find in museum collections,” says Dr. Philippe Claeys, who worked on the study as a visiting professor at UBC.

“A CO contains much less volatile elements—like carbon, zinc, water and particularly sulfur—than other classes of meteorites we’ve discovered so far on Earth. It doesn’t alter our theory of what caused the extinction event—but it makes it less likely that sulfur contained in the impacter was the smoking gun. The fine debris thrown into the atmosphere would have been the primary factor.”

100 scientific papers I’ve read in full over the past year

Ever since high school, I’ve had a personal tradition of sharing the scientific papers I read (in full) with my online community. About a year ago, I started cataloguing my posts and periodically sharing batches of papers here on Substack. So far, I have made 16 Substack posts, each with 5–10 papers and my comments. In total, this has resulted in a compilation of 100 papers and commentaries. Together, these papers represent a massive accumulation of human knowledge, progress, and innovation. Millions more exist out there on the internet. I will acknowledge that there’s a lot wrong with the academic publishing system and that it deserves massive reform. But seeing all of this amazing work at once nonetheless gives me hope that the collective intellect of the human species is capable of great things.

I’ve kept track of the 100 scientific papers that I’ve read in full over the past ~1 year, writing short summaries and posting them on social media. Here is the full compilation!

Uploading the Human Mind To AI Is Now REAL | Artificial Immortality | Full Documentary

If you were able to create an immortal version of yourself, would you? Until this decade, that question was the stuff of science fiction, but now experts in the fields of artificial intelligence and robotics suggest it will indeed be possible. This cinematic documentary explores the latest technological advancements in AI, robotics and biotech, and poses the question: what is the essence of the human mind, and can this be replicated? Or even more unsettling, could we one day meet cloned versions of ourselves – clones which are better, smarter, and immortal?

Check your ingredients’: A new blueprint for using Fermi’s ‘Golden Rule

Underpinning much of modern technology, from smartphones to scanning tunneling microscopes to particle colliders, is Fermi’s Golden Rule. Named for 20th-century Italian American physicist Enrico Fermi (but actually discovered by British physicist Paul Dirac), the rule is a formula that connects what can be measured in an experiment—such as how fast atoms “jump” between energy states—to the microscopic properties of a quantum mechanical system. The formula is taught in every undergraduate quantum physics class.

Yet scientists sometimes misapply it. They either misjudge the conditions under which the formula works, or they miss the “window” for its use. A “user manual” for Fermi’s Golden Rule would be a boon to researchers, says Yale physicist Nir Navon—and now he and his lab partners have provided one.

“We put one of the most famous formulas in all of quantum mechanics to the test, and found where it works and where it fails, including ways that many physicists weren’t fully aware of,” said Navon, an associate professor of physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences and senior author of a new study published in the journal Nature Physics. “We’re telling everyone who uses it to take a breath first and check their ingredients.”
