Oldest Known Plague Victims Discovered in 5,500-Year-Old Siberian Burial Ground

Archaeological findings in Siberia have unveiled the oldest known evidence of the plague directly causing human fatalities. The discovery was made in a 5,500-year-old burial ground, where many of the victims identified were children. Researchers suggest the ancient plague strain carried a specific gene that may have contributed to its heightened deadliness, particularly among younger individuals.

Physicists Split Photon, Discover Complex Particle Swarm

Physicists have successfully split a photon, observing an unexpected and complex state described as an "improbable swarm of particles." This unique phenomenon, also referred to as "a mixture from zero to infinity," challenges previous understandings of fundamental physics. The discovery may lead to a reevaluation of how particles are fundamentally thought of and behave.

NIH Diversity Programs Doubled Ph.D. Odds for Undergraduates, Study Finds

A new 20-year study has revealed that two diversity-oriented programs, supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), significantly increased the likelihood of undergraduate students pursuing doctoral degrees. The research found that these initiatives effectively doubled the odds of an undergraduate earning a Ph.D. The findings were published in the journal Science Advances.

Fungi Contribute to Carbon Storage in Arctic Fjord Sediments

Arctic fjords are recognized as highly efficient natural systems for absorbing and storing carbon over long periods. Research indicates that fungi play a role in locking carbon into these fjord sediments. The Arctic region is warming at approximately four times the global average rate, leading to rapid transformations within its fjord ecosystems. Understanding the biological processes that regulate carbon storage is becoming increasingly crucial amidst these environmental changes.
