What is the primary mechanism proposed in this study for the creation of organic molecules crucial to life on early Earth, and how does it differ from previous hypotheses?

A new study suggests that microlightning, generated by crashing waves and waterfalls, may have kickstarted life on Earth by creating organic molecules from atmospheric gases. The process involves the collision of differently charged water droplets, producing tiny electrical sparks that initiate chemical reactions forming building blocks of DNA, such as uracil.

What is the source of the previously unexplained two-hour radio pulses detected within the Milky Way?

Astronomers have discovered a unique source of long-period radio transients (LPTs): a binary star system composed of a white dwarf and a red dwarf orbiting closely, causing their magnetic fields to interact and emit radio pulses every two hours. This challenges previous understanding that only neutron stars produce LPTs.
