Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system. The most likely reason (when combined with other observation) for seeing 1000 times more of the chemical DMS would be that exoplanet K2-18B is an ocean planet teeming with life. This ocean filled with life is causing the chemical…

Founder’s Briefs: An occasional series where Mongabay founder Rhett Ayers Butler shares analysis, perspectives and story summaries. For Ochieng’ Ogodo, science was never a subject to be sequestered in ivory towers. It belonged in the hands of the people—decoded, demystified, and, above all, delivered with clarity and conviction. Across nearly three decades, he did just…
In the waters surrounding Fiji, an ancient tradition endures. Indigenous (iTaukei) communities have long established designated both freshwater and marine ecosystems where fishing and harvesting are temporarily forbidden in honor of their deceased. Though historically practiced for cultural and spiritual reasons, these aquatic funerary protected areas (FPAs) have inadvertently contributed to sustainable resource management —…
Nerve pain can feel like a relentless beast – sharp, burning, or tingling, it disrupts your days and nights. Chronic nerve pain, medically called neuropathy, often stems from damaged nerves sending faulty signals to your brain – sciatica is a good example. But a vitamin brand might ask: What if something as simple as a […] The post Chronic nerve pain? You might have vitamin deficiencies appeared first on London Daily News.
AI is transforming as we speak, and among the most revolutionary changes in the past few years has been the emergence of Agentic AI. Whereas traditional AI has been more of a tool for executing commands and analysing data, Agentic AI pushes this beyond the theoretical maximum- it does something. And that is a paradigm […] The post What is Agentic AI? A look at new tech reshaping Government appeared first on London Daily News.

SovEcon, a leading agricultural consultancy, has revised its forecast for Russian wheat production upwards. The new estimate projects a harvest of 79.7 million metric tons, representing a substantial increase of 1.1 million metric tons from the previous forecast. This adjustment reflects improved conditions and expectations for a more abundant wheat crop in Russia. The upward […]
With the aid of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists have found compelling evidence that biological life is present and active on a planet called K2-18b, located some 124 light years from Earth. The team was able to determine dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide—gases normally produced by biological activity on Earth—in the exoplanet’s atmosphere as it passed across its parent star. While these gases could come from other sources, scientists are bookmarking K2-18b for closer observations with future tools more sensitive than JWST. Life beyond Earth. This idea has captured minds for ages, sparking just as many debates as there are searches into space. Practically all of our extraterrestrial missions carry some kind of hope of finding little green men or, at the very least, signs of simple organic life, from Voyager 1 to Mars rover Curiosity. Adding to that mountain of possibility is a new peer-reviewed report (via the Astrophysical Journal Letters) which claims to have found the strongest ev
