Fog does not protect the skin.

SAPO Notícias6 September 2026 at 09:57

Fog does not protect the skin from ultraviolet rays. Even when the sun is not seen or felt, UV radiation can remain high and continue to cause burns and other skin damage.

This is a skin cancer prevention message, shared by APCC, SPDS, DGS and Euromelanoma. The publication calls for sun protection even on cloudy or foggy days, warning people not to take risks.

Mitocôndrias e quasares by António Costa: The Earth that deforms: where earthquakes meet gravity

The article explores the real shape of the Earth, questioning the idea that it is a perfect sphere. It explains that the planet's rotation, surface relief, and the uneven distribution of materials inside the Earth cause gravity to vary significantly from place to place. The geoid is presented as the scientific model that represents these gravitational variations, revealing an Earth with an irregular and deformed shape, very different from the idealized sphere.

With a cut in a gene, scientists hope to eliminate high cholesterol for life

Scientists are developing a gene editing treatment to permanently eliminate high cholesterol, inspired by a rare mutation in the ANGPTL3 gene, responsible for regulating LDL (the so-called "bad cholesterol") and triglycerides. This approach promises to be a lasting solution for millions of people suffering from high cholesterol levels, potentially eliminating the need for continuous medication.

A glaciologist warns about the impact of climate change on glacial disasters between Nepal and Tibet

A glaciologist from the University of Bristol warned about the impacts of climate change on glacial disasters between Nepal and Tibet, after the collapse of a high-altitude glacier at more than 5,000 meters on August 26, which triggered an ice and rock avalanche followed by a sudden flood. The disaster caused devastating consequences for villages, tourists, mountaineers and hydroelectric power plants, with no evidence found of a pre-existing glacial lake or artificial reservoir that had caused the event. The specialist presented initial hypotheses about the role of global warming in this type of glaciological phenomenon.
