Toxic Heavy Metal Contamination Affects 14-17% of Global Cropland
Researchers estimate that 14-17% of global cropland (242m hectares) is contaminated by toxic heavy metals, exceeding safety thresholds and affecting 900 million to 1.4 billion people worldwide, primarily due to natural and human activities, with cadmium being the most prevalent metal.

Possible Extraterrestrial Life Detected on Exoplanet K2-18b
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope detected Dimethyl Sulfide (DMS) in the atmosphere of K2-18b, a sub-Neptune exoplanet 124 light-years away, suggesting possible extraterrestrial life; however, further research is needed to confirm this finding.

Study Links 93 Million US CT Scans to Potential 103,000 Cancer Cases
A new study projects that 93 million CT scans performed in the US in 2023 may eventually cause 103,000 additional cancer cases due to cumulative ionizing radiation exposure, while the American College of Radiology counters that this lacks direct evidence and that newer technologies use significantly...

Martian Soil Reveals Past Carbon Cycle, Lack of Plate Tectonics Implicated in Loss of Habitability
Analysis of Martian soil samples from NASA's Curiosity rover reveals significant siderite deposits in Gale Crater, suggesting a past carbon cycle and warmer climate, but the lack of plate tectonics led to an imbalanced cycle and the planet's current uninhabitable state.
