Researchers, including those from the University of Tokyo, have successfully grown large tomatoes and cherry tomatoes, both rich in nutrients, in tightly controlled environments where the light source was energy-efficient LEDs. Such methods were often limited by the types or sizes of plants that could thrive in such conditions.

An international study led by researchers at São Paulo State University (UNESP) in Brazil has identified a little-known but potentially significant threat: Asteroids that share Venus's orbit and may completely escape current observational campaigns because of their position in the sky. These objects have not yet been observed, but they could strike Earth within a few thousand years. Their impacts could devastate large cities.

Early in the pandemic, most research, including our own, focused on designing drugs that could block the virus's spike protein. This was a logical first step, but as we've seen, the virus is a moving target. It was rapidly evolving, and new variants acquired resistance due to changes in the surface spike glycoprotein (S protein).
