Increased Seismic Activity at Iceland's Bardarbunga Volcano Prompts Yellow Aviation Code
On Tuesday, over 130 earthquakes, the largest measuring 5.1 magnitude, hit Iceland's Bardarbunga volcano, triggering a yellow aviation code as magma accumulation suggests a possible eruption; however, the remote location minimizes immediate infrastructure risks.

Self-Destructing Tuberculosis Vaccine Shows Promise in Monkey Trials
American researchers created a self-destructing tuberculosis vaccine with a genetic 'kill switch' activated by an antibiotic; successful monkey trials showed enhanced efficacy and safety compared to the standard BCG vaccine, potentially enabling intravenous administration and broader protection.

Dust Obscuration Solves the Red Supergiant Problem
A new study resolves the 'red supergiant problem' by showing that dust obscured the luminosity of many red supergiant stars, leading to an underestimation of their numbers; this finding is based on data from the Webb and Hubble telescopes and ground-based surveys.

Late Eating Linked to Impaired Glucose Tolerance and Weight Management
Studies reveal a strong link between late meal timing and impaired glucose tolerance, independent of diet composition or weight. Research by Garaulet and the UOC-Columbia team demonstrated that eating after 3 PM hinders weight loss, and consuming a significant portion of daily calories after 5 PM in...
