Swiss glaciers have suffered a sharp reduction in ice volume, recorded as the fourth-largest decrease on record. This alarming development, reported by monitoring body GLAMOS, results from minimal snowfall and a severe heatwave, leading to the glaciers losing 3% of their total ice mass.

Scientists in Switzerland highlight that the winter saw significantly light snowfall, particularly in the northeastern Swiss Alps, contributing to the alarming melt observed over the past year. Heat waves in June exacerbated this situation, further endangering the shrinking glaciers.

In a separate scientific breakthrough, researchers are exploring the potential of developing human eggs from skin cells. This pioneering method involves transferring a woman's skin cell nucleus into an oocyte from which the n
