A debate has been raging amongst planetary scientists for over a decade - why are there so few exoplanets with a radius of about 1.8 times that of the Earth? Exoplanets are currently largely grouped into two distinct groups - super Earth are below that size and have rocky interiors, whereas Sub-Neptunes are above that size limit and appear puffier. But we dont really understand what about the path of planetary evolution forces this bifurcation. A new mission proposal, called the Early eVolution Explorer (EVE) wants to find out, and a draft of its concept can be found in pre-print form on arXiv.

Researchers hope to one day resurrect unknown genes from extinct animals that could be helpful to humanity.

The price of playing games is as relevant as ever coming out of the recent Summer Game Fest week, with far more new releases shown than most of us will have the time or money to accommodate. When I spied that Stranger Than Heaven, the new crime game from Yakuza team RGG Studio, had crept its price up from the standard in my region, it gave me fresh pause about just how far up my wishlist it should be. It's not alone, either; Sega is making a similar move with Persona 4 Revival. I hope it's not the start of a trend.
