University of Wyoming researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery in the study of tardigrades, microscopic creatures known for their ability to survive extreme conditions. The researchers have uncovered the mechanisms behind how tardigrades enter and exit suspended animation, a process known as biostasis, when faced with environmental stress. Published in Protein Science, the study revealed that proteins from tardigrades, also called water bears, can be expressed in human cells to slow down molecular processes. This finding opens up the possibility of using tardigrade proteins in technologies aimed at slowing the aging process and enhancing the storage of human cells. Collaborating…

McCreary County Record- Earth hit by most intense geomagnetic storm in over six years In a rare event, the sun bombarded Earth with a powerful geomagnetic storm, the most intense in over six years. The storm was caused by a rare “double” X-class solar flare, indicating that the sun is at its peak of activity. The solar flare, which had a 1.1 magnitude, consisted of two simultaneous explosions. The resulting coronal mass ejection weakened Earth’s magnetosphere, allowing for auroras and other luminous phenomena to be seen globally. The geomagnetic storm reached severe (G4) status, the last time Earth experienced such…
