 Dear olivier hartmanshenn,

Here is your customized Science X Newsletter for week 39:

	James Webb Space Telescope's first spectrum of a TRAPPIST-1 planet In a solar system called TRAPPIST-1, 40 light years from the sun, seven Earth-sized planets revolve around a cold star.
	We carry DNA from extinct cousins like Neanderthals. Science is now revealing their genetic legacy Neanderthals live on within us.
	NASA's Perseverance captures dust-filled Martian whirlwind The lower portion of a Martian dust devil was captured moving along the western rim of Mars' Jezero Crater by NASA's Perseverance rover on Aug. 30, 2023, the 899th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The video, which was sped up 20 times, is composed of 21 frames taken four seconds apart by one of the rover's Navcams.
	JWST discovers massive and compact quiescent galaxy Astronomers have reported the discovery of a new galaxy using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) as part of the JWST COSMOS-Web survey. The newfound object, designated JWST-ER1 is a massive and compact quiescent galaxy. The findings were detailed in a paper published September 14 on the pre-print server arXiv.
	Researchers find high concentrations of microplastics in cave water and sediment In two recent papers, Saint Louis University researchers report finding high concentrations of microplastics present in a Missouri cave system that had been closed to human visitors for 30 years.
	Advanced imaging reveals the last bite of a 465-million-year-old trilobite Paleontologists from the Faculty of Science, Charles University in Prague, and their colleagues describes a 465-million-year-old trilobite with preserved gut contents in a new study. The research was published in Nature.
	Many Wordle users cheat to win, says mathematics expert It seems there's a five-letter word describing what many players of the wildly popular Wordle puzzle do daily as they struggle to find a target word within six tries.
	RNA recovered from extinct animal in world first Scientists have for the first time recovered RNA from an extinct species, the Tasmanian tiger, raising hope for the resurrection of animals once thought lost forever, Stockholm University researchers told AFP.
	Why Einstein must be wrong: In search of the theory of gravity Einstein's theory of gravity—general relativity—has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own failure at spacetime singularities inside black holes—and the Big Bang itself.
	A breakthrough discovery could accelerate the arrival of controlled fusion energy on Earth Researchers led by Chang Liu of PPPL have unveiled a promising approach to mitigating damaging runaway electrons created by disruptions in tokamak fusion devices. Key to the approach was harnessing a unique type of plasma wave that bears the name of astrophysicist Hannes Alfvén, a 1970 Nobel laureate.
	Living on the edge: Supernova bubble expands in new Hubble time-lapse movie Though a doomed star exploded some 20,000 years ago, its tattered remnants continue racing into space at breakneck speeds—and NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has caught the action.
	Strong El Niño expected to drive record-breaking global surface temperatures and trigger climate crises in 2023–2024 A strong El Niño event is going to wreak havoc on global surface temperature and trigger several climate crises in 2023–2024, according to researchers from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
	Likely asteroid debris found upon opening of returned NASA probe After a seven-year wait, NASA scientists on Tuesday finally pried open a space probe carrying the largest asteroid samples ever brought back to Earth, finding black debris.
	Desalination system could produce freshwater that is cheaper than tap water Engineers at MIT and in China are aiming to turn seawater into drinking water with a completely passive device that is inspired by the ocean, and powered by the sun.
	Antimatter embraces Earth, falling downward like normal matter: Study reveals gravity's effect on matter's elusive twin For those still holding out hope that antimatter levitates rather than falls in a gravitational field, like normal matter, the results of a new experiment are a dose of cold reality.
	Did life exist on Mars? Other planets? With AI's help, we may know soon Scientists have discovered a simple and reliable test for signs of past or present life on other planets—"the holy grail of astrobiology."
	Physicists coax superconductivity and more from quasicrystals In research that could jumpstart interest into an enigmatic class of materials known as quasicrystals, MIT scientists and colleagues have discovered a relatively simple, flexible way to create new atomically thin versions that can be tuned for important phenomena. In work reported in Nature they describe doing just that to make the materials exhibit superconductivity and more.
	The Giant Magellan Telescope's final mirror fabrication begins The Giant Magellan Telescope begins the four-year process to fabricate and polish its seventh and final primary mirror, the last required to complete the telescope's 368 square meter light collecting surface, the world's largest and most challenging optics ever produced. Together, the mirrors will collect more light than any other telescope in existence, allowing humanity to unlock the secrets of the universe by providing detailed chemical analyses of celestial objects and their origin.
	Hermit 'scribblings' of eccentric French math genius unveiled Tens of thousands of handwritten pages by one of the 20th century's greatest mathematicians, Alexander Grothendieck, many of which the eccentric genius penned while living as a hermit, were unveiled in France on Friday.
	Students made Oxford the murder capital of late medieval England, research suggests A project mapping medieval England's known murder cases has now added Oxford and York to its street plan of London's 14th century slayings, and found that Oxford's student population was by far the most lethally violent of all social or professional groups in any of the three
