 Dear olivier hartmanshenn,

Here is your customized Science X Newsletter for week 41:

	In double breakthrough, mathematician helps solve two long-standing problems A Rutgers University-New Brunswick professor who has devoted his career to resolving the mysteries of higher mathematics has solved two separate, fundamental problems that have perplexed mathematicians for decades.
	Commonly used arm positions can substantially overestimate blood pressure readings, study finds A study led by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers concludes that commonly used ways of positioning the patient's arm during blood pressure (BP) screenings can substantially overestimate test results and may lead to a misdiagnosis of hypertension.
	With advanced scanning technique, confiscated Iron Age Iranian swords proven to be pastiches For the first time, an imaging method has been used to investigate Iron Age bronze Iranian swords, revealing significant modern modifications that prove the weapons have been altered to increase their commercial value in the illicit antiquities market.
	Advanced technology discovered under Neolithic dwelling in Denmark Railroad construction through a farm on the Danish island of Falster has revealed a 5,000-year-old Neolithic site hiding an advanced technology—a stone paved root cellar.
	Heart failure, atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease linked to cognitive impairment Three common cardiovascular diseases in adults—heart failure, atrial fibrillation and coronary heart disease—are linked to cognitive impairment and increased risk of dementia, according to "Cardiac Contributions to Brain Health," a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association published today in the journal, Stroke.
	Nobel Prize in physics awarded to 2 scientists for discoveries that enabled machine learning Two pioneers of artificial intelligence—John Hopfield and Geoffrey Hinton—won the Nobel Prize in physics Tuesday for helping create the building blocks of machine learning that is revolutionizing the way we work and live but also creates new threats for humanity.
	The Milky Way might be part of an even larger structure than Laniakea If you want to pinpoint your place in the universe, start with your cosmic address. You live on Earth->Solar System->Milky Way Galaxy->Local Cluster->Virgo Cluster->Virgo Supercluster->Laniakea. Thanks to new deep sky surveys, astronomers now think all those places are part of an even bigger cosmic structure in the "neighborhood" called The Shapley Concentration.
	Evolution in real time: Scientists predict—and witness—evolution in a 30-year marine snail experiment Snails on a tiny rocky islet evolved before scientists' eyes. The marine snails were reintroduced after a toxic algal bloom wiped them out from the skerry. While the researchers intentionally brought in a distinct population of the same snail species, these evolved to strikingly resemble the population lost over 30 years prior.
	Curiosity rover provides new insights into how Mars became uninhabitable NASA's Curiosity rover, currently exploring Gale crater on Mars, is providing new details about how the ancient Martian climate went from potentially suitable for life—with evidence for widespread liquid water on the surface—to a surface that is inhospitable to terrestrial life as we know it.
	Inspired by Spider-Man, researchers recreate web-slinging technology Every kid who has read a comic book or watched a Spider-Man movie has tried to imagine what it would be like to shoot a web from their wrist, fly over streets, and pin down villains. Researchers at Tufts University took those imaginary scenes seriously and created the first web-slinging technology in which a fluid material can shoot from a needle, immediately solidify as a string, and adhere to and lift objects.
	'Islands' of regularity discovered in the famously chaotic three-body problem When three massive objects meet in space, they influence each other through gravity in ways that evolve unpredictably. In a word: Chaos. That is the conventional understanding. Now, a researcher from the University of Copenhagen has discovered that such encounters often avoid chaos and instead follow regular patterns, where one of the objects is quickly expelled from the system. This new insight may prove vital for our understanding of gravitational waves and many other aspects of the universe.
	New study eases concerns over possible 'doomsday' asteroid swarm Astronomers have good news about potentially hazardous asteroids lurking near our planet: There aren't as many as we thought.
	Sacrificial burial confirms Scythians' eastern origins Archaeologists have uncovered evidence for sacrificial funerary rituals at the Early Iron Age burial mound of Tunnug 1 in Tuva, Siberia, indicating that the horse-riding Scythian culture, best-known from Eastern Europe, originated far to the east.
	Ultra-powered MRI scans show damage to brain's 'control center' is behind long-lasting COVID-19 symptoms Damage to the brainstem—the brain's 'control center'—is behind long-lasting physical and psychiatric effects of severe COVID-19 infection, a study suggests.
	Rooftop solar panels impact temperatures during the day and night in cities, simulation study shows Widespread coverage of building rooftops with conventional photovoltaic solar panels may increase temperatures on hot days and lower them at night, says new modeling.
	Near-Earth asteroid data help probe possible fifth force in universe In 2023, the NASA OSIRIS-REx mission returned a sample of dust and rocks collected on the near-Earth asteroid Bennu. In addition to the information about the universe gleaned from the sample itself, the data generated by OSIRIS-REx might also present an opportunity to probe new physics. As described in Communications Physics, an international research team led by Los Alamos National Laboratory used the asteroid's tracking data to study the possible existence of a fifth fundamental force of the universe.
	Scientists recreate the head of this ancient 9-foot-long bug As if the largest bug to ever live—a monster nearly 9 feet long with several dozen legs—wasn't terrifying enough, scientists could only just imagine what the extinct beast's head looked like.
	Astronomers find Webb data conflict with reionization models Reionization is a critical period when the first stars and galaxies changed the physical structure of their surroundings, and eventually the entire universe. Established theories state that this epoch ended around 1 billion years after the Big Bang. However, if calculating this milestone using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), reionization would have ended at least 350 million years earlier than expected. That's according to a new paper published in Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters.
	Chemists use light to replace an oxygen atom with a nitrogen atom in a molecule A team of chemists at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology has succeeded in pulling an oxygen atom from a molecule and replacing it with a nitrogen atom. In their study, published in the journal Science, the group used photocatalysis to edit a furan in their lab.
	Scientists create first map of DNA modification in the developing human brain A UCLA-led study has provided an unprecedented look at how gene regulation evolves during human brain development, showing how the 3D structure of chromatin—DNA and proteins—plays a critical role. This work offers new insights into how early brain development shapes lifelong mental health.
