The small-molecule discovery could help in overcoming cell culture bottlenecks such as rapid degradation and high production costs.

Several earthquakes rocked near the Texas-New Mexico border on Tuesday morning, the latest in a slew of quakes to hit the region.

A 4.6 magnitude earthquake happened at 5:18 a.m. MT, about 36 miles south of Whites City, New Mexico, according to the United States Geological Survey, while another 3.4 magnitude earthquake shook nearby about three hours earlier.

Another smaller earthquake — this one a 2.5 magnitude — hit the same area about 2:40 a.m. MT.

A recent study by Dr. Albert Jambon and his colleagues, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, revealed the presence of meteoric iron in Early Iron Age ornaments in Poland.

According to Dr. Jambon, the study was prompted by the desire to know the origin of iron smelting. “The point of my research is to find out who, when, and where the iron smelting was discovered. To that end, we need to analyze archaeological irons and check whether they are meteoritic or smelted.”
