During the last solar maximum, the polar regions of the Sun were notably the most active in emitting high-energy radiation, a phenomenon that remains unexplained. This finding was reported in a study spearheaded by a researcher from the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Lisbon (Ciências ULisb

Researchers in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis discovered that a common mineral called goethite, found in red soils all over the Earth, tends to naturally trap trace metals over time, locking them out of circulation.
