In October, several notable scientific studies were highlighted, including research from Arizona State University that explains why larger dogs age faster than smaller ones. The study, published in the journal Science, found that this difference in aging may be due to 'jumping genes' and was based on data from 864 dogs. Other highlights include advancements in trapping antimatter and the creation of invisible tattoo inks that only appear under UV light.
