LARGE PROTO-CLUSTER OF GALAXIES DISCOVERED IN THE MIDST OF CLEARINGTHE COSMIC FOG
An international team of astronomers grouped in the LAGER consortium (Lyman Alpha Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization), integrated by Leopoldo Infante, Director of Carnegie's Las Campanas Observatory, and postdoctoral researcher Jorge González-López, discovered the most-distant cluster of galaxies, or protocluster, of high density ever observed. This study, published in _Nature_, opens new avenues for understanding the evolution of high-density regions in the universe and the galaxies that compose them.life
A PLANT’S NUTRIENT-SENSING ABILITIES CAN MODULATE ITS RESPONSE TO ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS Understanding how plants respond to stressful environmental conditions is crucial to developing effective strategies for protecting important agricultural crops from a changing climate. New research led by Carnegie’s Zhiyong Wang, Shouling, Xu, and Yang Bi reveals an important process by which plants switch between amplified and dampened stress responses. “Understanding how plants make cellular decisions by integrating environmental and internal information is important for improving plant resilience and productivity in a changing climate,” Wang concluded.space
SOLAR SYSTEM’S MOST DISTANT KNOWN MEMBER CONFIRMED A team of astronomers, including Carnegie’s Scott Sheppard, David Tholen from the University of Hawaiʻi Institute for Astronomy, and Chad Trujillo from Northern Arizona University have discovered discovered the most distant object ever observed in our Solar System. Officially called 2018 AG37, the object is nicknamed Farfarout for just how far away from the Sun it is orbiting—about 132 AU, where 1 AU is the distance between the Earth and Sun. At that distance, it takes an entire millennium to orbit the Sun.earth
NEW FORM OF SILICON COULD ENABLE NEXT-GEN ELECTRONIC AND ENERGYDEVICES
A team led by Carnegie’s Thomas Shiell and Timothy Strobel developed a new method for synthesizing a novel crystalline form of silicon with a hexagonal structure that could potentially be used to create next-generation electronic and energy devices with enhanced properties that exceed those of the “normal” cubic form of silicon usedtoday.

CARNEGIE’S HAZEN HONORED FOR LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT IN MINERALOGY Carnegie Mineralogist Robert Hazen—who advanced the concept that Earth’s geology was shaped by the rise and sustenance of life—will be honored with the 2022 International Mineralogical Association’s Medal for Excellence. The prize recognizes “outstanding scientific publication in the field of mineralogical sciences.”earth
WHAT CAUSES THE DEEP EARTH’S MOST MYSTERIOUS EARTHQUAKES? The cause of Earth’s deepest earthquakes has been a mystery to science for more than a century, but a team of Carnegie scientists may have cracked the case. New research published provides evidence that fluids play a key role in deep-focus earthquakes—which occur between 300 and 700 kilometers below the planet’s surface. The research team includes Carnegie scientists Steven Shirey, Lara Wagner, Peter van Keken, and Michael Walter, as well as the University of Alberta’sGraham Pearson.

MIDWESTERN FARMS DOING HEAVY LIFTING ON SUMMERTIME CARBON REMOVAL Models of the carbon cycle that are used to understand the effects of climate change in North America need to do a better job of accounting for the carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by Midwestern agricultural crops during the growing season, according to new work led by Carnegie’s Wu Sun and Department of Global Ecology Director Anna Michalak. Their work, published in _AGU Advances_, has implications for scientists as well as policymakers.life
UNRAVELING A MYSTERY OF DINOFLAGELLATE GENOMIC ARCHITECTURE New work from a Stanford University-led team of researchers including Carnegie’s Arthur Grossman and Tingting Xiang unravels a longstanding mystery about the relationship between form and function in the genetic material of a diverse group of algae called dinoflagellates. Their findings, published in Nature Genetics, have implications for understanding genomic organizational principles ofall organisms.

MARTIAN METEORITE MINERAL NAMED AFTER CARNEGIE’S YINGWEI FEI Carnegie’s Yingwei Fei is the namesake of an iron-titanuim oxide mineral discovered in a meteorite that originated on Mars. Caltech’s Chi Ma announced the find this week at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference. Called Feiite with a composition of Fe3TiO5, the mineral formed during a violent impact on the Red Planet that sent the rock hurtling into space.life
ALGAE GROWING ON DEAD CORAL COULD PAINT A FALSELY ROSY PORTRAIT OFREEF HEALTH
Algae colonizing dead coral are upending scientists’ ability to accurately assess the health of a coral reef community, according to new work from a team of marine science experts led by Carnegie’s Manoela Romanó de Orte and Ken Caldeira. “It’s long been thought that measuring calcium carbonate production could be linked directly to the health of a coral community,” Romanó de Orte said. “But our findings show that as algae increasingly succeed in overgrowing dead coral, it is going to be more difficult to rely on a once tried-and-true method for assessing whether a reef community isthriving.”

DISCOVERED: THE MOST DISTANT KNOWN QUASAR WITH A BRIGHT RADIO EMISSION The Magellan Baade telescope at Carnegie’s Las Campanas Observatory played an important role in the discovery of the most-distant known quasar with a bright radio emission, which was announced by a Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Heidelberg and European Southern Observatory-led team and published in _The Astrophysical Journal_. One of the fastest-growing supermassive black holes ever observed, it is emitting about 580 times the energy as the entire Milky Way galaxy.earth
APOLLO ROCK SAMPLES CAPTURE KEY MOMENTS IN THE MOON’S EARLY HISTORY Volcanic rock samples collected during NASA’s Apollo missions bear the isotopic signature of key events in the early evolution of the Moon, a new analysis found. Those events include the formation of the Moon’s iron core, as well as the crystallization of the lunar magma ocean—the sea of molten rock thought to have covered the Moon for around 100 million years after the it formed.space
