4,000-year-old handprint found on ancient Egyptian tomb
CAMBRIDGE — A 4,000-year-old handprint has been discovered on a clay model used for offerings in an Ancient Egyptian tomb.Researchers from Cambridge University’s Fitzwilliam Museum, in the United Kingdom, stumbled upon the imprint while preparing for an exhibition, which is set to open this fall.It was found on the base of a “soul house,” a building-shaped clay model typically found in burials and said to have provided a place for the soul to live, according to a press release from the museum.The model has an open space at the front where food offerings, like bread, lettuce or an ox’s head, could be placed.The handprint is likely to have been from the potter who made the soul house.It showed that the unnamed potter would have first created a framework of wooden sticks for the...

Astronomer pokes fun at viral scandal with Gwyneth Paltrow video as ex-CEO fallout lingers
NEW YORK — US data firm Astronomer has released a tongue-in-cheek promotional video featuring Gwyneth Paltrow as its “temporary spokesperson,” in a bold PR move following the viral scandal involving its CEO and chief people officer, who were caught embracing on the big screen at a Coldplay concert.In the 60-second clip posted to Astronomer’s X account, Paltrow — who was married to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin for over a decade — deadpans responses to what she calls “the most common questions” the company has recently faced.The first question, displayed as “OMG! What the actual f,” is answered with a straight-faced endorsement: “Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run Apache Airflow.” She closes the segment by claiming the firm is “thrilled so many people have a...

The spin rate of Earth is affected by many factors, but the moon and the tides have traditionally played a major role
Earth is spinning faster, leading timekeepers to consider an unprecedented move
WASHIGTON — Earth is spinning faster this summer, making the days marginally shorter and attracting the attention of scientists and timekeepers.July 10 was the shortest day of the year so far, lasting 1.36 milliseconds less than 24 hours, according to data from the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service and the US Naval Observatory, compiled by timeanddate.com. More exceptionally short days are coming on July 22 and August 5, currently predicted to be 1.34 and 1.25 milliseconds shorter than 24 hours, respectively.The length of a day is the time it takes for the planet to complete one full rotation on its axis —24 hours or 86,400 seconds on average. But in reality, each rotation is slightly irregular due to a variety of factors, such as the gravitational pull of the...

Baby born from three people's DNA in UK first
Babies made using three people's DNA are born free of hereditary disease
LONDON — Eight babies have been born in the UK using genetic material from three people to prevent devastating and often fatal conditions, doctors say.The method, pioneered by UK scientists, combines the egg and sperm from a mum and dad with a second egg from a donor woman.The technique has been legal here for a decade but we now have the first proof it is leading to children born free of incurable mitochondrial disease.These conditions are normally passed from mother to child, starving the body of energy.This can cause severe disability and some babies die within days of being born. Couples know they are at risk if previous children, family members or the mother has been affected.Children born through the three-person technique inherit most of their DNA, their genetic blueprint, from...

Scientists recover proteins from a 24 million-year-old rhino fossil
LONDON — Scientists have recovered ancient proteins from a fossilized rhinoceros tooth, breaking new ground in the study of ancient life on Earth.The 24-million-year-old tooth, which was unearthed in the Canadian Arctic, contains proteins that are 10 times older than the most ancient known DNA. Using the sample, scientists have now analyzed the oldest detailed protein sequence on record.“Enamel is so hard it protects these proteins over deep time (long time scales),” said Ryan Sinclair Paterson, a postdoctoral researcher at the Globe Institute at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark who led the Canadian research. “It’s essentially like a vault. What we did was unlock this vault, at least for this specific fossil.”The study of ancient DNA preserved in bones, fossils and dirt...

Biggest human imaging study scans 100,000th person
LONDON — Scientists say they can study our bodies as we age in greater detail than ever before, thanks to more than a billion scans of UK volunteers.The world's biggest human imaging project says it has now hit its target of scanning the brains, hearts and other organs of 100,000 people - the culmination of an ambitious 11-year study."Researchers are already starting to use the imaging data, along with other data we have, to identify disease early and then target treatment at an earlier stage," says Prof Naomi Allen, chief scientist at UK Biobank.The data is made available at low cost to teams around the world to find new ways of preventing common health conditions from heart disease to cancer.The 100,000th volunteer to be scanned was Steve, who recently retired from a job...
