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.

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...

Unprecedented Plasma Jets Ejected from Supermassive Black Hole 1ES 1927+654
An international team observed unusual X-ray fluctuations and plasma jets ejected from the supermassive black hole 1ES 1927+654 in the Draco constellation, 270 million light-years away, following a 2018 outburst; a low-mass white dwarf star is the most plausible explanation.
