Exploding stars

When massive stars or other stellar objects explode in the Earth’s cosmic neighborhood, ejected debris can also reach our solar system. Traces of such events are found on Earth or the Moon and can be detected using accelerator mass spectrometry, or AMS for short. ​When massive stars or other stellar objects explode in the Earth’s …

Mobile phone use may affect semen quality, study shows

Does electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones affect semen quality? While various environmental and lifestyle factors have been proposed to explain the decline in semen quality observed over the last fifty years, the role of mobile phones has yet to be demonstrated. A team has now published a major cross-sectional study on the subject. It …
