Switzerland: new discoveries in Bernese Jura lead meteorite treasure to record

Euronews Portugal31 August 2026 at 15:51

In the Bernese Jura, in Switzerland, increasingly more fragments of the Twannberg meteorite are being discovered. This region has proven to be a privileged location for meteorite finds, with a growing number of discoveries being made in recent times.

The total number of known finds already exceeds 2,200 fragments. This value represents a significant milestone for scientific research in this area, making the Bernese Jura one of the most important locations for the study of meteorites.

The fragments of the Twannberg meteorite are considered extremely valuable for scientific research. Their importance is due to several reasons that make them targets of particular interest for researchers who study these celestial bodies.

What does cooking and washing dishes at the same time mean? See what psychology says

Washing dishes while cooking is a psychological strategy that goes beyond household organization, functioning as a way to reduce cognitive load and minimize visual clutter. According to a study from Florida State University, domestic chaos elevates cortisol levels, while space organization regulates daily discomfort. This behavior demonstrates that the person does not wait for external motivation, but performs small tasks preventively to avoid accumulation. This practice is linked to anticipating needs, such as responding to emails immediately or filling up the tank before the reserve runs out, being essential for emotional well-being.

Keeping all purchase receipts is not a compulsion: psychology explains what this habit may reveal

Keeping purchase receipts is not necessarily a sign of hoarding, but may be associated with the need for control and preparation for future situations, according to specialists. The receipt can provide a sense of security, being useful for returns, complaints, or warranties. The difference between a functional and a problematic behavior lies in organization: when there is a reason to keep them and documents are discarded when no longer needed, the habit is considered normal. Only when there is persistent difficulty in parting with objects with no utility and this causes disorganization or distress, it may indicate a more serious problem.

Study brings new data to understand aging

Researchers from the Multidisciplinary Institute of Ageing (MIA-Portugal) at the University of Coimbra discovered that lymphatic vessels are functional and active components of the bone microenvironment, contributing to the maintenance of bone mass and to bone repair and regeneration processes. Using advanced techniques such as spatial transcriptomics, single-cell RNA sequencing and high-resolution imaging in human and rodent tissues, the study showed that these vessels are important regulators of skeletal biology. The discovery has profound implications for regenerative medicine and musculoskeletal health, potentially opening the way to new treatments to accelerate fracture healing, reduce chronic bone inflammation and promote healthier skeletal aging.
