Astrophotographers capture rare Jupiter and Mars encounter (photos)
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: cosmology
The two planets came as close as within a quarter-of-a-degree, or about 50% of the angular size of the lunar disk.
Lorenzo Di Cola also captured the conjunction over L’Aquila Italy. Both Jupiter and Mars were visible to the naked eye in the constellation Taurus during the cozy meet-up.
The photographer also took this amazing composition image made up of nine interval timer photos showing the two planets rising through the sky. Mars and Jupiter are visible in conjunction and if you look carefully you can even see some of Jupiter’s moons.

The dosage of tyrosine supplements given in studies greatly varies, ranging from fixed amounts of 2–20 g to 25–150 mg/kg of body weight.
Speak with a healthcare provider to discuss the most appropriate dose for your health concerns.
Many foods contain tyrosine, making it relatively easy to meet the daily requirements. Meat and meat products are among the best dietary sources. For example, each 6-ounce (oz) cooked serving of chicken and steak provides 1,446 mg and 1,640 mg of tyrosine, respectively.

Benefits of Fermented Papaya in Human Health
Posted by Arthur Brown in categories: biotech/medical, food, health, neuroscience
Fermented foods have been used for several years all over the world, due to their unique nutritional characteristics and because fermentation promotes conservation and food security. Moreover, fermented foods and beverages have a strong impact on human gut microbiota. Papaya is the fruit of the Carica papaya plant, traditionally used as a medicinal fruit, but there are also references to the use of the fermented form of this fruit. The main purpose of this review is to provide an improved understanding of fermented papaya nutritional and health applications. A literature search was conducted in the PubMed and Google Scholar databases. Both in vitro and in vivo studies were included. According to the retrieved studies, fermented papaya has proven to be an excellent antioxidant and an excellent nutraceutical adjuvant in combined therapies against several diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, allergic reactions, anticancer activity, and anemias. Therefore, it is concluded that fermented papaya has many benefits for human health and can be used as prevention or aid in the treatment of various diseases.

Researchers Develop Innovative Battery Recycling Method
Posted by Natalie Chan in categories: engineering, sustainability, transportation
A research team at Rice University led by James Tour, the T.T. and W.F. Chao Professor of Chemistry and professor of materials science and nanoengineering, is tackling the environmental issue of efficiently recycling lithium ion batteries amid their increasing use.
The team has pioneered a new method to extract purified active materials from battery waste as detailed in the journal Nature Communications on July 24. Their findings have the potential to facilitate the effective separation and recycling of valuable battery materials at a minimal fee, contributing to a greener production of electric vehicles (EVs).
“With the surge in battery use, particularly in EVs, the need for developing sustainable recycling methods is pressing,” Tour said.
