Himalayan Snow Warming
Three physicists used data collected from 165 stations in the Himalayan-Tibetan region and a regional climate model to determine the effect of black carbon aerosols (BCAs) on the climate of South Asia. Their analysis revealed warming at high elevations due to BCAs. Such...

A New Organelle?
A team of life scientists has claimed to discover a new organelle (called a nitroplast) that fixes nitrogen. It looks like this organelle evolved from an endosymbiont that assumed permanent residence in a eukaryotic cell. If so, this discovery provides support for the...

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana in this breaking News of the Day episode of Stars, Cells, and God. Fuz reports on the work by a research team from Tianjin University in China, who, recently stole headlines when they announced that they developed a chip that used human brain tissue to control a robotics system. This remarkable breakthrough (called organoid intelligence) generates excitement and also raises some profound ethical and theological questions.
In this episode Fuz explains:
How this...

Join Hugh Ross in this breaking News of the Day episode of Stars, Cells, and God. Hugh describes the discovery of four fully-formed supermassive black holes that existed just 410–760 million years after the cosmic creation event.
Do Early Supermassive Black Holes Refute the Big Bang?
Quasar J1120+0641, seen 760 million years after the cosmic beginning, has a supermassive black hole (SMBH) weighing 1.52 billion solar masses.
Quasar J1342+0928, seen 700 million years after the beginning, has a...

Smart Dams
More than 58,000 dams that are built higher than 15 meters (50 feet) exist on nearly all the world’s rivers. Consequently, migratory fish stocks have declined by 76% since 1970 and populations of “megafish” have declined by 94%. Two water resource engineers combined fish migratory...

Join Hugh Ross in this breaking News of the Day episode of Stars, Cells, and God. Hugh describes the discovery of microspherules and meltglass at three North American sites, consistent with low-altitude airbursts from a disintegrating comet, that explain the Younger Dryas cooling onset 12,800 years ago.
Bolide Airbursts Trigger Recent Global Cooling Event
During the younger Dryas (12,800–11,700 years ago), global mean temperatures plummeted by 10–15°C. This cooling event, in part, explains...

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana in this breaking News of the Day episode of Stars, Cells, and God. Fuz discusses work by a team of anthropologists from Spain who maintain that analysis of a partial skull fossil indicates that Neanderthals provided compassionate care for a Neanderthal child with Down syndrome.
Neanderthal with Down’s Syndrome
Does this discovery mean that Neanderthals were just like us?
In light of this find, can humans be regarded as exceptional and unique?
If Neanderthals were like...

Join Hugh Ross in this breaking News of the Day episode of Stars, Cells, and God. Hugh describes stars at our galaxy’s center showing their luminosities are augmented by the annihilation of dark matter particles in their cores. This could be the first direct discovery of dark matter particles.
Dark Matter Particles?
Dark matter makes up 24.5% of the universe.
Neutrinos are the only dark matter particles detected so far and comprise 10 billion years rather than 100 million years. They shine...

Join Hugh Ross in this breaking News of the Day episode of Stars, Cells, and God. Hugh describes a discovery that may resolve a long-standing mystery about dark matter.
Primordial Black Holes Resolve Dark Matter Mystery?
Dark matter is matter that doesn’t interact with light or interacts at an extremely weak level.
The quantity of dark matter that exists and its locations in the universe are not mysteries.
Dark matter’s composition is a mystery that has stymied astronomers and physicists for...

Join us as we explore why we must be in an ice age cycle and:
How rare it is for the solar system to traverse cold, dense interstellar clouds,
How the entry of the solar system into a cold dense interstellar cloud about 2.5...
