Pumpkin season is about more than cute décor. The squash contains lots of seeds with a high protein content, but they're usually discarded. Researchers reporting in ACS' Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found another way to use the seeds, extracting that protein to create a plant-based coffee creamer.

The amazing disappearing exoplanet

One nice thing about discovering exoplanets is that, once you work out how long their orbits take, they continue to show up like clockwork. The timing is so regular, in fact, that we can use variations to detect the gravitational influence of additional planets in the same exosolar system. And the precise timing is useful in that we can rely on it to point telescopes at the system when we know some of the light we detect has passed through the planet's atmosphere.

Sequential peaks in arthropod availability across snow and vegetation help sustain alpine birds

The alpine zone is located above the tree line in mountainous regions and is characterized by long winters and short growing seasons. Birds and other animals inhabiting these environments breed during a limited period extending from spring to summer. Arthropods, including insects and spiders, serve as an essential food resource during this time.
