Experts are on red alert after uncovering a ticking time bomb in Antarctica that would reshape the continent and dramatically increase sea levels worldwide. More than 100 volcanoes lie beneath the surface of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, which is 'particularly vulnerable to collapse, yet its position atop an active volcanic rift is seldom considered,' the study noted. Scientists have warned that as climate change causes the ice sheet to melt, this drives increased volcanic activity that speeds up melting at the surface, creating a 'positive feedback loop.' As the ice sheet melts, the amount of mass pushing down on the surface decreases, which creates an uplifting effect in the subsurface.

🤖 Discovery of fat-filled cartilage cells explains why noses are springy

A newly identified cartilage cell generates fat vacuoles and makes the surrounding tissues pliable. This helps keep the ear and nose tips bouncy. The smooth functioning of the body's joints, the flexibility of the ears and nose, and the shaping of bones are all made possible by the skeletal tissue known as cartilage.1 According to popular medical textbooks, cartilage is made up of only one type of specialized cell called a chondrocyte, which is small and secretes large quantities of extracellular matrix, giving cartilage its biomechanical properties.2 But now, new research makes these textbooks outdated. More than a decade ago, while studying fat cells in the mouse ear skin, Maksim Plikus and his colleagues observed a puzzling pattern in dye uptake. "There were some fat cells that stained, which were the true adipocytes," said Plikus, a developmental biologist at the University of California, Irvine.

The avalanche happened on the peak of Punta Valgrande, a popular mountain in the Swiss Alps among experienced hikers and skiers, near the border of Italy and Switzerland. Rescuers said the victims were dragged several hundred feet by the snow. Medical teams arrived by helicopter and were able to rescue two skiers, but three others were found dead on the scene. Meanwhile, in Adamello in the nearby Italian Alps, search operations for a missing climber were temporarily suspended due to worsening weather conditions, according to a report from Reuters.

🌧️ Ukrainian chemical attack against staff of Russian defense plant thwarted - FSB

The suspect planned to pour toxic substances into the air ducts of vehicles driven by employees, the agency has said. Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) has said it has foiled a Ukrainian terrorist plot targeting the staff of a Russian defense industry enterprise in the city of Yaroslavl. The suspect is a Russian citizen who was working for Kiev, and who planned to poison workers of the facility with toxic substances, according to a statement from the agency on Tuesday. The man was detained after receiving two containers with "dangerous chemicals" from a cache prepared by the Ukrainian special services, the FSB said. The substances in question can cause potentially fatal respiratory burns, it added. The suspect planned to pour the chemicals into the air ducts of vehicles driven by employees of the defense enterprise, the agency said. "The terrorist's activities were coordinated from the territory of Ukraine via foreign internet messaging apps," the FSB stressed.
