Dietary shifts are among the most important actions we can take to reduce the environmental impact of our food system and improve human health. However, implementing such changes requires that dietary recommendations be tailored to the cultural heritage, values and preferences of populations.

A state-of-the-art model for planet–star interactions shows that migrating planets may coevolve with their pulsating stars through episodic resonances that drive substantial orbital migration and produce detectable tidal oscillations.

Ryugu is more primitive than carbonaceous chondrites, according to elevated noble gas concentrations. Elevated Xe and its isotopic composition further provide constraints on fractionation of the solar composition to form the early planetary components.

Here, the authors present 74 radiocarbon and 31 luminescence age determinations from four sites in southern Italy. They use these data to suggest that Neanderthal disappearance in the region predated the appearance of early modern humans, a previously unclear chronology

The hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen isotopic compositions of ultra-carbonaceous Antarctic micrometeorites reveal that they are possibly linked with N-bearing volatile species, including primordial N₂, condensed on the coldest objects of the Solar System.

Study of a reverberation that rang around the world reveals a new type of geological event fuelled by global warming.

After resolving a threat to the spacecraft’s circuitry, the US space agency is now weeks away from launching the orbiter.

First-ever analysis of soil from around the Moon’s south pole was performed using data from the Chandrayaan-3 mission.
