- Numerous states in the US have become less democratic over 2000–2018. The reason why: Republican control of state government. "Across measures and model specifications, the results are remarkably clear: Republican control of state government reduces democratic performance." https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/american-political-science-review/article/laboratories-of-democratic-backsliding/0742F08306EFDD8612539F089853E4FE 1347 comments science

- A giant impact has been proposed as being responsible for forming the Moon, but scenarios that match existing constraints are improbable. Numerical modelling now suggests that instead a series of smaller and more common impacts can explain the Earth–Moon system. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2017/01/10/study-suggests-earth-once-had-many-moonlets-until-they-merged-to-form-the-moon/ 3 comments science

- Sturdy 3D-printed objects can be broken down into materials that can be used to print new objects. Researchers 3D printed a model Easter Island head using a novel ink, then degraded the figure into numerous tiny particles, created a new ink from the particles and used this to 3D print a toy boat. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-00590-w 2 comments science
