Spectroscopic methods, such as laser fluorescence spectroscopy, can be used to determine the chemical binding form of metal ions to various inorganic and organic substances from Brazil nuts and the body's digestive juices. Image: B. Schröder/HZDR
How healthy are Brazil nuts really: The popular seeds, known as “#selenium bombs”, contain also traces of metals like #barium and #radium. Researchers at #HZDR and #VKTA conducted a study on the amounts of these elements that could enter the body during digestion.

Coronal mass ejections are closely linked to the Sun's magnetic activity. The fact that this activity is significantly reduced compared to that of other sun-like stars could be due to synchronization through the tidal effects of the planets. Source: NASA/GSFC/SDO
Solar pacifiers: Influence of the planets may subdue solar activity
Researchers at #HZDR find the Sun’s activity cycles can be traced to the tidal pull of planets – and that this #planetary “sync” naturally reins in #solar activity.
