news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-07 07:23:40

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy shrank at a 0.5% annual pace from January through March as President Donald Trump’s trade wars disrupted business, the Commerce Department reported Thursday in an unexpected deterioration of earlier estimates. First-quarter growth was weighed down by a surge of imports as U.S. companies, and households, rushed to buy foreign goods before Trump could impose tariffs on them.

Shifts in diatom and dinoflagellate biomass in the North Atlantic over 6 decades

news.ycombinator.com Crispin M. Mutshinda 2025-10-07 05:36:04

Here we analyze data from the Continuous Plankton Recorder to reconstruct variation in the surface ocean diatom and dinoflagellate community biomass over 6 decades across the North Atlantic. We find: 1) diatom and dinoflagellate biomass has decreased up to 2% per

Tiny orange beads found by Apollo astronauts reveal Moon's explosive past

The Apollo astronauts didn't know what they'd find when they explored the surface of the moon, but they certainly didn't expect to see drifts of tiny, bright orange glass beads glistening among the otherwise monochrome piles of rocks and dust. The beads, each less than 1 mm across, formed some 3.3 to 3.6 billion years ago during volcanic eruptions on the surface of the then-young satellite.

Ancient Rocks in Canada Are Almost as Old as the Earth Itself

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-10-07 11:00:14

Due to the movement of Earth’s tectonic plates, our planet’s crust is constantly recycled, making rocks and minerals from its earliest days incredibly rare. That’s frustrating for geologists, since surface-level Hadean rocks (rocks older than 4.03 billion years) could provide significant insight into the first geological stages of Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history.
