Data from NASA Juno probe reveals Jupiter absorbed a protoplanet 10 times Earth’s mass, shattering the gas giant’s core 4.5 billion years ago
Jupiter, the largest planet in our Solar System, may have once collided with another planet in the distant past. According to a recent study, published in Nature by scientists from Rice University and Sun Yat-sen University, this may explain the gas giant’s unique core. Most of Jupiter’s mass is comprised of hydrogen and helium. What makes Jupiter unique, compared with the […]

Plants redirect electrons to an alternative route to prevent damage caused by oxidative stress
It may not seem like it, but plants can also experience stress – oxidative stress, that is – from absorbing too much light. Now, scientists are looking into the process by which plants manage oxidative stress. Researchers from Kobe University have recently released the results of a study that looked into how plants manage oxidative stress. The study focused […]
