Asteroid’s Probability of Earth Impact Drops to 0.16%❓
The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced that the probability of an asteroid impacting Earth in 2032 has decreased to 0.16% as of February 20. The impact probability had once risen to 2.86%, but it has now fallen below the 1% threshold, which is the level at which planetary defense organizations heighten their alert. Meanwhile, the probability of the asteroid colliding with the Moon remains at 1%.🧐🧐🧐
The asteroid, named “2024 YR4”, was discovered late last year. By the end of January this year, calculations indicated that it had a more than 1% chance of colliding with Earth on December 22, 2032. If it were to impact, the asteroid—estimated to be between 40 to 90 meters in size—could cause catastrophic damage to a city, earning it the classification of a “city killer.”😐😐😐

AI Enables Highly Efficient Detection of “EVs” Released by Cells🤓
A research team from the University of Tokyo and other institutions has developed a technology that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to efficiently detect extracellular vesicles (EVs)—tiny particles secreted by cells throughout the body. This advancement is expected to contribute to early cancer detection.👍👍👍
The team improved the detection device and developed a method to enhance sensitivity by using AI to eliminate noise signals that do not originate from the particles. As a result, they achieved the detection of approximately 100,000 nanoparticles per second, with a minimum size of 30 nanometers. The sensitivity and speed of this technique are said to be among the highest in the world.👏👏👏

Susukino Decapitation Case: Prosecutors Seek 10-Year Prison Sentence for Father😱
On the 18th, the 10th session of the lay judge trial for Osamu Tamura (61), a doctor charged with aiding and abetting murder, was held at the Sapporo District Court (presided over by Judge Shiro Watanabe). The case involves an incident in July 2023, in which the decapitated body of a 62-year-old man was found in a hotel in the Susukino entertainment district of Sapporo. The prosecution has sought a 10-year prison sentence, while the defense has argued for complete acquittal. The trial has concluded, and a verdict is expected on March 12.😨😨😨
According to the indictment, Tamura was aware of a plan by his daughter, Runa Tamura (31)—who has been separately indicted for murder—to kill the victim, take his severed head home, and mutilate it. He is accused of assisting in this plan.🤢🤢🤢
During the trial, key issues of contention included whether Osamu Tamura had prior knowledge of the crime and whether his act of filming Runa Tamura mutilating the head constituted aiding and abetting.🤒🤒🤒
