Distance between humans and nature is growing: Study

15-Dec-2022
The idea that humans are facing a global extinction of experience of nature is popular, but there is poor empirical evidence of its reality. To shed more light on this, the scientists measured how the average distance from an individual's home to the nearest area with low human impact changed in the last decade. They found that humans currently live 9.7 km away from a natural area on average, which is 7% further away than in the year 2000. Europe and East Asia have the highest average distance to natural areas, such as 22 km in Germany and 16 km in France. "What is striking is that all other countries in the world are following a similar pattern," explains first author Dr Victor Cazalis, a postdoctoral researcher at iDiv and Leipzig University.

Researchers have measured the survival rate of antihelium nuclei from depths of the galaxy

15-Dec-2022
How are galaxies born, and what holds them together? Astronomers assume that dark matter plays an essential role. However, as yet it has not been possible to prove directly that dark matter exists. A research team including Technical University of Munich (TUM) scientists has now measured for the first time the survival rate of antihelium nuclei from the depths of the galaxy, a necessary prerequisite for the indirect search for Dark Matter.
