These stars grow engorged as they reach their final stages of stellar evolution, swelling and searing hot with cores of up to 10⁸ K. All hydrogen at the core has been consumed. In need of a new source of energy, fusion of helium atoms — also known to physicists as alpha particles — begins to take place. When two helium-4 nuclei fuse together they form the very unstable beryllium-8. It l...

Psychoanalysis in Time of Plague Jamieson Webster Bridgeman Images Émile François Chambon: Sleeper on her back, 1966–1968 Freud’s daughter Sophie died of septic pneumonia as a result of the Spanish Flu. On January 29, 1920, he wrote to his friend and fellow psychoanalyst, Sándor Ferenczi, “wafted away, nothing to say,” ending the letter, “And with us? My wife is very shaken. I think: *L**a séance continue*. But it was a bit much for one week.” One might find Freud’s tone rather heartless and cruel, but that would miss the spirit of tragic-irony particular to Freud, very much present ...

Homo Antecessor
Aloyzio Achutti, AMICOR - 2 days ago
Protein pinpoints our ancient ancestor The enigmatic hominin *Homo antecessor* has found its place in our family tree thanks to the 800,000-year-old proteins in fossil teeth. Researchers used mass spectrometry to analyse a sliver of enamel from a molar found in Spain’s Gran Dolina cave. The tooth reveals that *H. antecessor* was a close relative of the last common ancestor of humans, Neanderthals and Denisovans. “We see that *antecessor *falls as a sister group — close, very close — to the branch that leads to us,” says geneticist Enrico Cappellini.
