Genetic Study Retraces the Origins of Coronaviruses in Bats: A Deep Dive into Evolutionary History and Spillover Risks
A ground-breaking genetic study has shed light on the evolutionary history of bat coronaviruses, revealing how these viruses have evolved over millions of years and the potential dangers they could pose to humans in the future. Published in a leading scientific journal, the research traces the deep ancestral roots of coronaviruses, their adaptation to different bat species, and the mechanisms that could lead to spillover events. The findings are crucial for understanding past outbreaks—such as SARS (2002), MERS (2012), and COVID-19 (2019)—and for predicting and preventing future pandemics.

Nanoplastics from Real-World Plastic Waste Can Adsorb Heavy Metal Ions, Study Reveals
Plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental challenges of our time. While the visible impacts of plastic waste are alarming, a growing body of research highlights an even more insidious threat: nanoplastics. These tiny plastic particles, measuring less than 100 nanometers (nm) in size, are generated when larger plastic debris breaks down in the environment. A recent study has revealed that nanoplastics derived from real-world plastic waste can readily adsorb heavy metal ions, significantly increasing environmental and health risks.

Soviet-Era Spacecraft Crashes Back to Earth After 53 Years Stuck in Orbit
A piece of Cold War space history has finally met its fiery end as Kosmos 482, a Soviet-era spacecraft stranded in orbit since 1972, has re-entered Earth’s atmosphere after 53 years. The derelict probe, originally intended for a Venus landing, spent over half a century circling Earth before succumbing to gravity. While most of the spacecraft likely burned up upon re-entry, experts suggest that some fragments—designed to survive Venus’s extreme conditions—may have reached the ground.
