"Tattoos Linked to Higher Lymphoma Risk, Study Finds"

A new study from Lund University in Sweden reveals that individuals with tattoos may have a 21% higher risk of developing lymphoma, regardless of the tattoo's size. The study, which involved nearly 12,000 participants, found that the risk is highest among those who got their first tattoo less than two years prior. Researchers call for more studies to understand the long-term health implications of tattoos as their popularity continues to rise.

Rare Terbium Found in Atmosphere of Hottest Exoplanet in Galaxy

Lund University researchers have discovered the rare metal terbium in the atmosphere of KELT-9 b, the galaxy’s hottest exoplanet, using a new analysis method. The discovery of terbium in an exoplanet’s atmosphere is surprising as it is a rare earth metal that belongs to the lanthanoids. The researchers' advanced measurement method has opened up the possibility of finding out more about the atmospheres of other exoplanets, potentially leading to insights on exoplanets’ ages, formation, and the possibility of Earth-like planets.

Rare Earth Metal Found in Hottest Exoplanet Atmosphere

Scientists have discovered Terbium, an element, in the atmosphere of KELT-9, the galaxy's hottest exoplanet. The exoplanet orbits its distant star about 670 light years from Earth and has an average temperature of 4,000 degrees Celsius. The discovery was made possible thanks to a new method developed by researchers at Lund University in Sweden.

Rare element found in exoplanet's atmosphere by scientists.

Scientists at Lund University have discovered the rare metal terbium in the atmosphere of exoplanet KELT-9 b, using a new method for analyzing exoplanets. Terbium is a rare earth metal that belongs to the lanthanoids and has never been found in any exoplanet's atmosphere before. The discovery of terbium in KELT-9 b's atmosphere is surprising and opens up the possibility of finding out more about the atmospheres of other exoplanets.
