Different Science
Given the relatively easy trip to a minimoon from Earth, some researchers have proposed using these transient satellites as "stepping stones" for future missions to mine asteroids or explore deeper into our solar system.
Based on the presence of yeast, lactic acid bacteria and proteins from ruminant milk in the samples, Qiaomei Fu at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing and her colleagues have identified the substance as a kind of kefir cheese.
If the conditions that preserved the Canadian log can be replicated â which is still unclear â buried biomass from discarded wood and sustainable harvesting could sequester up to 10 gigatons of carbon annually, the researchers estimate.

For instance, Ophir automated his analysis of over 5,000 articles about the H1N1, Ebola and Zika epidemics in four major newspapers: the New York Times, Washington Post, USA Today and Wall Street Journal.
Lab-reared rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) brains may source more than half of bacteria from their blood and guts, suggesting that microbes from other parts of the body traverse the blood-brain barrier to colonize the organ.
Other effects that could tweak planetary orbits would also need to be accounted for, such as the solar wind of charged particles that streams out from the sun, says astrophysicist Andreas Burkert of Ludwig-Maximilians-UniversitĂ€t MĂŒnchen in Germany, who was not involved with the two studies.
Allen saw an opportunity to track migrating Brydeâs whales by finding similar biotwang sounds in more than 180,000 hours of underwater recordings from NOAAâs network of hydrophones mounted on the Pacific seafloor.
(CMS, another experiment at the Large Hadron Collider, also found evidence of top quark entanglement this year, in a study that has not yet been peer reviewed.)
Specifically, the slowed seismic rays may be a result of lighter elements in the outer core, study co-author Hrvoje TkalÄiÄ, a geophysicist at Australian National University, said in a statement.
She loves physics for its ability to reveal the secret rules about how stuff works, from tiny atoms to the vast cosmos.
"I'm really excited to see this paper, as the authors are deepening our understanding of pubertal timing by tens of thousands of years," Sharon DeWitte, a biological anthropologist at the University of Colorado Boulder who was not involved in the study, told Live Science in an email.
