Direct detection of an asteroid’s heliocentric deflection: The Didymos system after DART NASA’s DART mission changed the orbit of the Didymos system, revealing insights into the physical traits of its two asteroids.

Researchers in #ScienceAdvances have determined that NASA’s 2022 Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission is the first to cause a deliberate change in the heliocentric orbit of a celestial body. https://scim.ag/4aNL1ny

Multi-isotope analysis of mammal bones provides environmental context for the adoption of agriculture in the Tehuacan Valley of Mexico Isotopic values of animal bones reflect environmental conditions during the origins of agriculture in south-central Mexico.

Animal bones reveal that maize cultivation in ancient Mexico began during a relatively wet period in the Holocene and intensified centuries later.

Science Advances’ special issue on women’s health highlights a growing wave of research focusing on women’s unique biological and psychological experiences. Articles cover a range of studies from the interplay between menopause and Alzheimer’s risk to the menstrual cycle’s influence on the brain-heart connection. It also describes the opportunities pregnancy provides to research aspects of both physical and mental health. By prioritizing women’s unique physiological and psychological experiences, research can expand the frontiers of knowledge in ways that benefit everyone.

Archeological data with AI- and physics-based modeling explain typhoon-induced disasters in inland China around 3000 yr B.P. Intensified typhoons caused extreme rainfall and floods in inland China, threatening cultural development, around 3000 yr B.P.

During the Bronze Age in China, intensifying typhoons contributed to population decline in the inland “Cradle of Civilization,” according to new #ScienceAdvances research involving ancient scripts, paleoclimate radiocarbon data, and additional archaeological evidence. scim.ag/4svm4n0

Deciding for others alters metacognition leading to responsibility aversion Making decisions on behalf of other people reduces decision confidence, which leads to responsibility aversion.

When we have to make a decision that affects other individuals—parents making decisions for children, for instance—our confidence in our decisions declines, making us averse to the responsibility.
