‘Survival of the fittest’ may also apply to the nonliving, report finds
Proposed law of nature says systems such as stars and hurricanes are made up in varying ways, with some succeeding and others failingDarwin ’s theory of evolution, with natural selection at its core, conjures up images of flourishing life. But now researchers have suggested a similar mechanism may apply to the realm of the nonliving too, underpinning what they have called nature’s “missing law”.A team of scientists and philosophers say many systems – including minerals, changes within stars and even hurricanes – are made up of multiple components that can come together in myriad ways, some of which persist whil...

NASA launches spacecraft to a mysterious metal-rich asteroid
When Lindy Elkins-Tanton imagines the metallic asteroid Psyche, she dreams of terrain unlike any seen before. Small craters could look like frozen splashes of water, fringed with silvery spires. Metallic lavas, squeezed out billions of years ago, might shimmer nearby. Gigantic cliff faces, cleaved from the asteroid’s metal crust as it cooled and contracted long ago, might be studded with green crystals of olivine.
Whether these vistas exist depends on whether the asteroid, a beguiling 220-kilometer-wide object discovered in 1852, really is the hunk of iron and nickel long assumed by astronomers. Now, Elkins-Tanton ...

Water and Carbon Revealed in NASA ’ s Ancient Asteroid Samples
[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]
(CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.) — NASA on Wednesday showed off its first asteroid samples delivered last month by a spacecraft — the most ever returned to Earth.
Scientists and space agency leaders took part in the reveal at Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The ancient black dust and chunks are from the carbon-rich asteroid named Bennu, almost 60 million miles away. NASA’s Osiris-Rex spacecraft collected the samples three years ago and then dropped them off sealed in a capsule during a flyby of Earth last month.
Scientists anticipated at least a cupful of r...

Preventing kidney stones before they form
Drink water throughout the day to help avoid reoccuring kidney stones Kidney stones are small, hard deposits made of minerals and reoccurring materials inside the kidneys. Stones often go unnoticed in the kidney until they move into the ureter —the tube connecting the kidney and bladder.
