A significant number of men grapple with anxiety over penis size, often feeling inadequate despite studies indicating that most fall within a normal range. Research shows that around two-thirds of men are dissatisfied with their size, leading to a phenomenon known as "small penis syndrome," where individuals with average-sized penises perceive themselves as below average. A comprehensive review of over 15,000 men revealed that the average erect penis measures approximately 5.16 inches, a figure that many men mistakenly believe to be larger. Experts suggest that societal pressures, including media portrayals and unrealistic standards, contribute to these feelings of inadequacy. Urologists warn against surgical interventions, advocating instead for better sexual education and awareness to help men understand what constitutes a normal size. Ultimately, specialists emphasize the importance of normalizing discussions around penis size to alleviate unnecessary anxiety and promote healthier self-perceptions. 
Published: Mar 22 2025, 10 pmeznews.inA new study has sparked controversy by suggesting that electricity can be generated from the Earth's rotation and magnetic field using a simple device. Historically, the consensus among physicists has been that this is not feasible, as demonstrated by 19th-century physicist Michael Faraday's work on electromagnetism. The research team, led by Chris Chyba from Princeton University, has developed a hollow cylinder made of soft manganese, zinc, and iron—materials that inhibit the rapid reconfiguration of charge. Their tests reportedly produced a small voltage of around 18 µV, depending on the cylinder's orientation. However, many physicists remain skeptical, cautioning that the results may stem from unaccounted effects and emphasizing the need for replication by other researchers. If validated, the findings could pave the way for innovative applications, potentially leading to devices that function as long-lasting, fuel-free batteries. The study is published in *Physical Review Research*.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 9 pmeznews.inA recent social media discussion has sparked curiosity about the purpose of the lines found on towels, known as the "dobby border." While some users jokingly suggested they serve as a "face/butt delineation line" or "racing stripes" for faster drying, the consensus points to their practical benefits. The dobby border enhances the towel's absorbency, prevents fraying, and maintains an even structure, ensuring the towel remains soft, lightweight, and efficient for drying. According to Towel Hub, this woven strip not only contributes to durability but also adds an aesthetic touch, making towels suitable for both personal and commercial use. With this mystery unraveled, attention may now shift to more complex enigmas, such as the nature of dark energy or the original purpose of screensavers.
Published: Mar 21 2025, 8 pmeznews.inFood safety experts are warning against the common practice of storing leftover canned food in the refrigerator, citing concerns over metal leaching and chemical contamination. When a can is opened, exposure to air can accelerate the leaching of metals like iron and zinc into food, particularly in acidic items such as canned tomatoes. While the health risks from these metals are minimal, they can affect the taste and quality of the food. Additionally, there are concerns about Bisphenol A (BPA), a chemical previously used in can linings, which may leach into food, especially when cans are opened. Although efforts are underway to phase out BPA in the EU, US authorities maintain its safety in moderation. To mitigate these risks, experts recommend transferring any unused canned food to a clean, airtight container before refrigerating, ensuring it remains safe and palatable.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 5 pmeznews.inNew research has debunked the long-held belief that famous dinosaur tracks in Utah were made by giant sauropods walking on their front feet, a theory proposed by paleontologist Roland Bird in 1940. Initially thought to indicate swimming or wading behavior, a detailed study led by Dr. Thomas Adams from the Witte Museum reveals that the absence of hind footprints can be explained by sediment displacement during movement. The research indicates that the tracks were likely made in shallow water, with the weight of the sauropods causing deeper impressions from their front feet. While the study clarifies the origins of these tracks, it suggests that sauropods could still swim, akin to modern elephants. The findings not only enhance our understanding of sauropod locomotion but also serve as a valuable educational resource for students and researchers alike. The study is published in the journal *Historical Biology*.
Published: Mar 21 2025, 8 pmeznews.inNASA's Artemis program, aimed at returning humans to the Moon, is undergoing significant changes, with the agency removing references to diversity from its official communications. Previously, the program highlighted its goal to land the first woman, person of color, and international partner astronaut on the lunar surface. This shift has sparked widespread criticism on social media, raising concerns about inclusivity in space exploration. NASA attributed the change to an executive order from the Trump administration, which has prompted federal agencies to reevaluate their diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. The Artemis program has already faced multiple delays, with the Artemis II mission now set for 2025 and the anticipated Artemis III landing pushed to mid-2027. Amidst these challenges, NASA's leadership is in flux, with acting administrator Janet Petro at the helm while billionaire Jared Isaacman awaits confirmation as the next administrator.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 3 pmeznews.inA recent UK survey has revealed alarming hygiene habits regarding bathroom towels, with many respondents washing them infrequently. Out of 2,200 participants, 24% reported washing their towels weekly, while 33% admitted to doing so only once every three months, and 8% just twice a year. Most concerning, 3% claimed to wash their towels only once a year, potentially affecting over 1.5 million people nationwide. Bacterial contamination is a significant risk, as a freshly laundered towel can harbor around 190,000 bacteria, escalating to 17 million after a day of use. Pathogenic bacteria, including _E. coli_, can be present, raising concerns about skin infections and other health issues. Experts recommend washing towels every three to four uses to minimize health risks, yet only a quarter of respondents adhere to this guideline, highlighting a critical gap in public awareness regarding hygiene practices.
Published: Mar 24 2025, 3 pmeznews.inA recent study reveals that around 100,000 years ago, a group of _Homo sapiens_-like humans buried five individuals at Timshenet cave in the Levant, accompanied by grave goods such as animal remains and red ochre. This burial practice coincided with similar customs among neighboring archaic hominids, suggesting a cultural exchange that fostered a unified set of traditions. Researchers found that these groups employed identical hunting strategies and tool-making methods, indicating a shared culture despite their genetic diversity. The study highlights the significance of funerary practices and the use of ochre as markers of symbolic thought, unique to this period in the Levant. The findings underscore the interactions between different _Homo_ lineages, suggesting they not only co-existed but actively shared ideas and technologies, contributing to the emergence of complex social behaviors. The research is published in *Nature Human Behaviour*.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 12 pmeznews.inIlya Ivanovich, a Russian biologist born in 1870, made significant strides in artificial insemination, famously inseminating 500 mares with a single stallion's semen. His curiosity led him to experiment with hybridization, creating various animal hybrids, including a zedonk and a rat-mouse. In 1910, he proposed the controversial idea of creating a human-ape hybrid, or "humanzee," which gained traction after the Russian Revolution. With funding from the Soviet government, Ivanov attempted to inseminate chimpanzees with human sperm but faced repeated failures. His plans took a disturbing turn when he suggested inseminating African women with chimpanzee sperm without their consent, a proposal that was ultimately rejected by authorities. Despite recruiting volunteers for his experiments, Ivanov's work was halted when the Soviet Academy withdrew support, leading to his exile and subsequent death, leaving his ambitious hybridization dreams unrealized.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 1 pmeznews.inNASA's Curiosity rover has discovered the largest organic molecules yet found on Mars, located in a 3.7 billion-year-old Cumberland mudstone in Gale Crater. While these molecules, including chlorobenzene and long-chain alkanes, do not confirm past life on the planet, they suggest that if life existed in Mars' early history, its byproducts could have endured over billions of years. The findings were made using the rover's Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument, which employed a two-stage heating process to analyze the samples. Although the quantities of these organic compounds are minimal, the research indicates that the heating may have altered the original composition of the rock. The study raises the possibility that if life once thrived on Mars, its remnants may still be preserved in the planet's geology, awaiting future exploration by more advanced rovers or missions.
Published: Mar 25 2025, 5 ameznews.inNASA's New Horizons spacecraft, launched in 2006 to explore Pluto and the Kuiper Belt object Arrokoth, has made an unexpected discovery while studying a dark patch of sky at the galactic poles. After over 200 hours of observations, the team found that the cosmic ultraviolet background (CUVB) radiation is significantly brighter than anticipated—approximately twice as bright as expected from known sources like supergiant stars. This anomaly suggests there may be unidentified sources of high-energy ultraviolet light in the universe. The findings, which have not yet undergone peer review, indicate that while some of the brightness can be attributed to known factors, the origin of the remaining emission remains a mystery. Further insights may emerge with the upcoming launch of NASA's UltraViolet EXplorer (UVEX) in 2030, which aims to enhance our understanding of the ultraviolet background.
