Researchers have found an unexpected accumulation of the radioisotope beryllium-10 beneath the Pacific Ocean’s surface. This discovery, detailed in a study published in Nature Communications, suggests that these anomalies trace back to significant changes in ocean currents or cosmic ray interactions with the Earth’s atmosphere around 10 million years ago. Beryllium-10 is produced when oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the upper atmosphere interact with high-energy protons from space. The research aims to provide an independent time marker for ocean archives, improving the understanding of the planet’s geological history. Unlike radiocarbon dating, which is limited to samples under 50,000 years old,…

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) banned the synthetic dye Red 3 from the national food supply in January 2023, requiring manufacturers to remove it from various products, including candies and medications, by 2027 and 2028 for drugs.

Abortions in Missouri are set to resume following the approval of a constitutional amendment aimed at strengthening abortion rights by voters. A recent ruling by Jackson County Circuit Judge Jeri Chan deemed certain licensing requirements for abortion facilities discriminatory, enabling Planned Parenthood and other clinics to prepare to offer services again.

This ruling follows a previous determination that stated abortions were legal in Missouri, albeit with some ongoing regulations. Advocates for…
