In our latest blog, Chief Scientific Officer Ritu Dhand explores how current research assessment practices may be holding back open science and why it's time to rethink how we credit all research outputs, including null results. Read the blog: spklr.io/63327BMUuJ

Boiling oceans beneath icy shells? A study in @natastron.nature.com finds that thinning ice on moons like Enceladus and Mimas could trigger ocean boiling and tectonic stresses, reshaping their surfaces and influencing future exploration: spklr.io/63320BrFDn

#astronomy #astro 🔭,
Boiling oceans and compressional tectonics on emerging ocean worlds - Nature Astronomy
Several moons in the outer Solar System have oceans encased beneath an ice shell. If the ice shell thins, ocean pressure decreases. Modelling shows that on Mimas, Enceladus, and Miranda, the ocean can boil. On larger bodies, instead, compressional forces form tectonic features.

The human brain responds to sounds of both familiar and unfamiliar languages in a similar way, says research in Nature. Findings improve our understanding of how speech is processed by the brain and might guide future approaches to language learning and rehabilitation:

Shared and language-specific phonological processing in the human temporal lobe - Nature
The human superior temporal gyrus processes acoustic–phonetic properties of speech regardless of whether the language is familiar to the listener, but only encodes word boundaries and language-specific sound sequences if the language is known.
