With the cost of living rising, many people are switching up their supermarket habits in order to save money, particularly when it comes to vegetables. Frozen veg is often on the cheaper side, but some might believe that fresh is inherently “better” for you – so which really packs more of a nutritional punch?In the fresh cornerThere’s no denying that crunchy, fresh veg is delicious, but its nutrient levels might not be as high as you think.As soon as they are picked, vegetables begin to lose their nutrients. That’s because when they’re picked, they’ve been separated from their source of nutrients. To try and keep themselves alive, the cells in the vegetables respire at a higher rate, which can in turn lead to nutrient loss. This can also happen through oxidation, when vegetables are exposed to oxygen during storage and processing.But therein lies the big nutritional caveat of fresh veg – it depends on how soon after harvesting them that you eat them. With supermarket prices skyrocketing, some people have taken to growing their own veg, or getting it from community gardens. Fresh vegetables from supermarkets typically take a bit longer to get to our tables.In an ideal world, to get the most out of fresh vegetables, they’d need to be eaten within a couple of days. “After it’s four or five or seven days old, it’s a completely different equation,” Gene Lester, a plant physiologist and national program leader for the US Department of Agriculture, told CNN Health.In the frozen cornerThe degradation of fresh vegetables is a big reason why freezing them became a thing – it gives you more time to use them up, so you’re not left with a fridge full on gone-off green beans. On top of that, frozen vegetables are generally considered to have greater nutrient content because they’re frozen so soon after being picked.Nonetheless, there’s some suggestion that frozen vegetables might be lower in vitamin C – which has multiple useful functions in the body and y’know, prevents scurvy – than fresh veg. That’s because frozen veg is blanched, a process that involves quickly scalding veg in boiling water or steam and then quickly cooling them. It’s thought that blanching helps to prevent loss of flavor and that odd gray discoloration you sometimes get with frozen food. It does this by inactivating enzymes in the veg, which couldn't be achieved with freezing alone. Vitamin C, however, can also degrade under heat, which means that some of it might disappear from veg destined to be frozen.  But the loss of vitamin C doesn’t seem to be that cut and dried; once it’s frozen, there might not be any further loss.A 2015 study examining the vitamin retention of eight different fruits and vegetables found no significant differences in vitamin C between fresh and frozen-stored spinach, carrots, peas, and broccoli. Frozen corn and green beans were even found to have higher vitamin C levels than their fresh counterparts, which the authors attributed to quicker degradation in fresh veg.The overall pictureThe above study also found that, overall, the vitamin content of frozen vegetables was comparable – and sometimes even higher – than fresh. In the grand scheme of things, however, any differences don’t really matter; no one food is “better” than the other and any veg is better than no veg at all.Vegetables are packed with fiber, alongside vitamins and minerals, and provide all sorts of benefits, including better digestion, support for the immune system, and boosted energy.So, if you’re struggling to choose between fresh and frozen, pick whatever works best for you – whether that’s financially, out of convenience, or simply to please your taste buds.All “explainer” articles are confirmed by fact checkers to be correct at time of publishing.

On a recent aerial survey off the New England coast, researchers from NOAA Fisheries made 161 whale sightings in a single day, a vast proportion of which were of the rare and endangered sei whale.The flight took place on May 25 and saw the team cover an area south of Martha’s Vineyard and southeast of Nantucket. Throughout the survey, they spotted seven different whale species among the 161 sightings. Some of those observations may have been multiples of the same whale, but Teri Frady, chief of research communications for the NOAA’s Northeast Fisheries Science Center, told AP that the team had reported “a lot of whales”.“It is not unusual that there are a lot of whales in the area this time of year,” said Frady. “But since we do not survey every day, or in the same areas every time we fly, catching such a large aggregation with such a variety of species on one of our flights is the exception rather than the rule.” IFLScience is not responsible for content shared from external sites.The sightings included humpback, fin, minke, and sperm whales, but also a pair of orcas that came with something of a surprise – one was holding on to a tuna. The large fish isn’t exactly an unusual snack for orcas – they might even be attacking fishing boats in search of it – but it’s apparently uncommon to make a sighting like this.Two species of endangered whales were also spotted during the survey. Of the smaller number of sightings was the North Atlantic right whale, at just 3 observations. It’s estimated that only around 360 individuals remain, a figure that hasn’t been helped by an “unusual mortality event” that only ended this year.The other endangered species observed was the sei whale.Sei whales are the third-largest whale species after blue and fin whales, with adult females reaching up to 18 meters in length and a whopping 45,000 kilograms in weight. Through persistent commercial whaling in the 19th and 20th centuries, an estimated 300,000 sei whales were killed and as a result, the species is currently listed as endangered by the IUCN.On this occasion, however, sei whales made up the majority of the sightings. The team made 93 sei whale observations, reported to be one of the highest concentrations they had ever witnessed during a single survey flight.It’s not just New England with whale news this week, although the announcement that came from Iceland this week was rather more somber. Whaling is set to continue in its seas, with the government declaring that the country’s last remaining whaling company will be issued with a license.

Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on March 8 2014 with 239 people on board. Despite extensive search efforts, the final location of the aircraft remains unknown. It has become one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.Our new research explores the possibility of detecting underwater acoustic signals generated by aircraft crashes, such as MH370’s presumed impact, to provide new insights into its fate.Flight MH370 was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it vanished from radar screens. Official investigations suggest it deviated from its planned route, heading southwest over the Indian Ocean. Despite multinational search efforts, including extensive underwater searches along and near the so-called “seventh arc” (the area determined by last communication between the satellite and the plane), the main wreckage has not been found.Only a few pieces of debris washed ashore on western Indian Ocean islands have been confirmed as belonging to MH370. This has left families of the passengers, search teams and the world grappling with unanswered questions.Acoustic analysisHydrophones are underwater microphones which capture sound waves and pressure changes in the ocean. Such technology has shown promise in detecting pressure signals from various events, including aircraft crashes. These types of signals can travel thousands of kilometres, making hydrophones a valuable tool for identifying and classifying events in marine environments.For our study, we analysed data from the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization’s (CTBTO) hydroacoustic stations. We focused on data from stations at Cape Leeuwin in Western Australia and Diego Garcia, an island in the Indian Ocean.Both locations were operational around the time MH370 is believed to have crashed. These stations are located within tens of minutes’ signal travel time from the seventh arc. CTBTO stations have previously detected distinctive pressure signals from aircraft crashes, as well as earthquakes of various sizes at distances of more than 5,000 kilometres away.The mode of impact dictates the signal’s properties such as duration, frequency range and loudness. By examining these signals, we hoped to identify any potential acoustic evidence of MH370’s crash.Previous analysis by scientists at Curtin University and later by us confirmed a signal of an unknown source recorded at Cape Leeuwin station, in the direction of the seventh arc. But it fell outside the time window suggested by the official search.Our latest research focused on the official and narrow time window. The analysis identified only one relevant signal in the direction of the seventh arc, recorded at the Cape Leeuwin station. But this signal was not detected at the Diego Garcia station. This raises questions about its origin. We also examined data for signals along MH370’s initial flight path but found no corresponding acoustic signatures.With only a handful number of past aeroplane incidents, our findings are not conclusive. But a 200-tonne aircraft crashing at a speed of 200 metres per second would release the kinetic energy equivalent to a small earthquake. It would be large enough to be recorded by hydrophones thousands of kilometres away.Given the sensitivity of the hydrophones, it’s highly unlikely that a large aircraft impacting the ocean surface wouldn’t leave a detectable pressure signature, particularly on nearby hydrophones. But unfavourable ocean conditions could potentially dampen or obscure such a signal.Controlled explosionsTo help resolve the debate about the detectability of the acoustic signal from MH370, a practical approach could be to conduct controlled explosions along the seventh arc, similar to those done for the ARA San Juan submarine.On November 15 2017 the ARA San Juan, operated by the Argentine Navy, went missing during an exercise mission. A few hours later an unusual signal was recorded by CTBTO stations. To help with the search, an air-dropped calibration grenade drop was conducted two weeks later near the last known location.The calibration grenade, which was also recorded at the CTBTO hydroacoustic stations, was similar to the unusual signal that radiated from the submarine implosion. The submarine was found a year later with all 44 crew members lost.A similar exercise, using either explosions or airguns of energy levels equivalent to those believed to be associated with MH370, could be conducted along the seventh arc. If the signals from such explosions showed pressure amplitudes similar to the signal of interest, it would support focusing future searches on that signal. If the signals detected at both Cape Leeuwin and Diego Garcia are much stronger than the signal in question, it would require further analysis of the signals from both stations.This could also lead to a reassessment of the data used to determine the seventh arc, considering new scenarios based on updated findings. Additionally, variations in signal strength could provide insights into the conditions affecting the variability, potentially helping to better locate impact areas based on specific terrains and paths.So, while our research does not pinpoint MH370’s exact crash location, it highlights the potential of hydroacoustic technology in solving this aviation mystery. By refining our methods and conducting further experiments, we could provide new insights into MH370’s fate and improve our response to future maritime incidents.The ongoing efforts to locate MH370 not only seek to bring closure to the families affected but also to enhance our ability to track and understand aviation accidents over vast oceanic expanses.Usama Kadri, Reader of Applied Mathematics, Cardiff UniversityThis article is republished from The Conversation under a Creative Commons license.

Curious Kids is a series for children of all ages. If you have a question you’d like an expert to answer, send it to CuriousKidsUS@theconversation.com.Why does pizza taste so good? – Annika, age 5, Oneonta, New YorkPizza is one of the world’s most popular foods.In the U.S., 350 slices are eaten every second, while 40% of Americans eat pizza at least once a week.There’s a reason why pizza is so popular. Humans are drawn to foods that are fatty and sweet and rich and complex. Pizza has all of these components. Cheese is fatty, meat toppings tend to be rich, and the sauce is sweet.Pizza toppings are also packed with a compound called glutamate, which can be found in the tomatoes, cheese, pepperoni and sausage. When glutamate hits our tongues, it tells our brains to get excited – and to crave more of it. This compound actually causes our mouths to water in anticipation of the next bite.Then there are the combinations of ingredients. Cheese and tomato sauce are like a perfect marriage. On their own, they taste pretty good. But according to culinary scientists, they contain flavor compounds that taste even better when eaten together.Another quality of pizza that makes it so delicious: Its ingredients become brown while cooking in the oven.Foods turn brown and crispy when we cook them because of two chemical reactions.The first is called caramelization, which happens when the sugars in a food become brown. Most foods contain at least some sugar; once foods are between 230 and 320 degrees, their sugars begin to turn brown. Caramel is made from several thousand compounds, making it one of the most complex food products. On a pizza, ingredients like onions and tomatoes become caramelized during baking, making them rich and sweet and flavorful. That brown and crispy crust is also the result of the dough caramelizing.While the meat and cheese on your pizza also get brown, this is due to a different process called the “Maillard reaction,” which is named after French chemist Louis-Camille Maillard.When pizza bakes in the oven, the ingredients become browned – and even tastier. Andrewshots/Shutterstock.comThe Maillard reaction occurs when the amino acids in high-protein foods like cheese and pepperoni react with the sugars in those foods when heated. Pepperonis that become crispy with curled edges, and cheese that browns and bubbles, are examples of the Maillard reaction at work.With bread, cheese and tomato sauce as its base, pizza might seem like a simple food.It isn’t. And now, the next time you’re about to devour a slice, you’ll be able to appreciate all of the elements of pizza that excite our brains, thrill our taste buds and cause our mouths to water.[ Like what you’ve read?

In UFO conspiracy theories, Majestic 12 (or MJ-12) is the code name of an alleged secret committee of scientists, military leaders, and government officials, formed in 1947 by an executive order by U.S. President Harry S. Truman to facilitate recovery and investigation of alien spacecraft. The concept originated in a series of supposedly leaked secret government documents first circulated by ufologists in 1984. By the late 1980s, the FBI and the Air Force had gotten wind of the Majestic 12 documents and launched investigations into their veracity, mainly trying to determine whether someone was disseminating classified documents.
