☕️ Time Reversal Symmetry Broken at Record High Temperatures.

Good morning. As you may know I’m looking for dark matter so I was intrigued by the news today that there’s a new multimillion-dollar plan to catch dark matter by studying rocks… So let me get this straight, I’m down here building a piece of tech that doesn’t exist to detect dark matter when it could have just been seen in rocks all along?!

🧠 Neuroimmune Communication Pathway Reveals Interactions That May Drive Endometriosis-Associated Pain. A study from the Perelman School of Medicine has identified a new communication pathway between immune cells and nerves, contributing to the chronic pain experienced by people with endometriosis. Targeting this pathway may lead to new therapeutic options for managing this debilitating condition.

🕒 New Study Links Liver-Brain Communication to Daily Eating Patterns. Researchers have found a link between the liver and brain that helps regulate eating patterns. The study reveals that disrupting this communication—such as by eating at irregular times—can lead to overeating and weight gain, suggesting a potential target for interventions aimed at improving metabolic health.

📈 Surge in Global Cancer by 2050 with Widening Disparities Projected by Study. A new international study has projected a significant increase in global cancer cases by 2050, with stark disparities between countries based on development levels. The study calls for urgent action to address inequities in cancer prevention and treatment across the globe.

SPACE

🌌 New Harvard Discovery Reveals Mars Could Have Supported Life Far Longer Than Thought. A Harvard study indicates that Mars’ magnetic field, which could have supported life, lasted until 3.9 billion years ago—much longer than previously believed. Researchers used simulations and modeling to conclude that Mars’ “dynamo” persisted longer, potentially extending the planet’s habitability timeline.

🛰️ Chinese Rover Finds Evidence of Ancient Martian Ocean. A Chinese rover exploring Mars has uncovered compelling evidence suggesting that a large ocean once covered parts of the Martian surface. Sedimentary rock formations with specific layered features imply that ancient Mars experienced conditions conducive to water bodies, providing further clues to the planet's history of potential habitability.
