New Seismic Analysis Enables Earlier Eruption Forecasts for Mount Etna

Scientists have discovered a novel method for predicting volcanic eruptions months before they occur by analyzing earthquake patterns. The breakthrough research at Mount Etna uses b-value analysis to track magma movement from deep crustal levels to the surface.

Breakthrough in Volcanic Prediction

Researchers at Italy’s National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) have developed a groundbreaking method for predicting volcanic eruptions months in advance, according to a new study published in Science Advances. The technique focuses on analyzing earthquake patterns that correspond to magma movement from deep within the Earth’s crust to the surface, potentially revolutionizing how scientists monitor active volcanoes like Mount Etna.

Scientists Discover Nitrogenase-Like Enzyme That Breaks Down Sulfur Compounds

A groundbreaking study has uncovered how certain enzymes use nitrogenase-like machinery to break down sulfur-containing compounds. The findings could reshape our understanding of enzyme evolution and industrial applications.

Nitrogenase-Inspired Enzyme Reveals New Catalytic Capabilities

Scientists have made a significant breakthrough in understanding how certain enzymes break down sulfur-containing compounds using nitrogenase-like metalloclusters, according to research published in Nature Catalysis. The study reveals that methylthio-alkane reductases, enzymes that cleave carbon-sulfur bonds, employ complex iron-sulfur clusters similar to those found in nitrogen-fixing enzymes but with crucial structural differences that enable their unique function.
