A BLACK HOLE TORE A STAR TO PIECES, THE CLOSEST WE'VE EVER SEEN

From Universe Today: Astronomers have observed the closest-ever tidal disruption event (TDE) caused by a black hole, 215 million light-years away from Earth. The black hole in question is around 50,000 times the mass of the Sun and pulled apart a Sun-like star, creating a luminous flare of radiation. This event provides an opportunity for scientists to study the behavior of black holes and how they impact their surroundings.

HUMAN HAIR COULD BE A VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR EARTH'S ENVIRONMENT

Researchers at the University of Agriculture in Krakow, Poland, have discovered that human hair can be an effective and eco-friendly resource for removing pollutants from the environment, according to New Atlas. The study found that keratin and melanin, two components of hair, are highly effective at binding to heavy metals and other pollutants in water. The team is exploring the possibility of using hair waste as a natural, renewable material for environmental cleanup.

GENETIC ENGINEERS REWIRE CELLS FOR AN 82% INCREASE IN LIFESPAN

Researchers at Northwestern University have extended the lifespan of fruit flies by 82% by genetically reprogramming their cells, reports SciTechDaily. The scientists used CRISPR gene-editing technology to modify the insulin and TOR signaling pathways in the flies, which are associated with aging. The study may offer insights into the aging process in humans and could pave the way for future anti-aging treatments.
