Phys.org / New evidence points to two distinct Australian tektite groups with different origins
Throughout the planet, there are only a handful of known tektite strewn fields, which are large swaths of land where natural glass (tektite) was strewn about after forming from terrestrial material and being ejected from ...
Phys.org / Life after impact: New discovery links microbial colonization to ancient meteorite crater
In a scientific breakthrough with cosmic implications, researchers have, for the first time, precisely dated the emergence of microbial life within a meteorite impact crater—revealing that life not only survives catastrophe, ...
Medical Xpress / Sexual health gaps persist for migrant youth in Canada, despite lower rates of sexual activity
A new UBC-led study finds that migrant youth in Canada are less likely to be sexually active than their Canadian-born peers—but among those who are, contraception use is declining. The findings point to systemic barriers ...
