Summary: The discovery of fossils in Mayan tombs has fundamentally altered our understanding of the earliest origins of coral reef fishes and reconciled the conflict between fossil and phylogenetic evidence. These fossils indicate that the origins of reef fishes can be traced back to Mexico, just 3 million years after an asteroid impact, and reveal new insights into their early biogeography.

Summary: This study presents fire-proof postmortem taggants called optomagnetic supraparticles (SPs), which are composed of luminescent and magnetic nanoparticles (NPs). These taggants can be used to differentiate between genuine and counterfeit products even after a fire incident, using ratiometric luminescence signals. The research successfully achieves the desired functionality of the fire-proof taggants by carefully choosing the type and ratios of nanoparticles and process parameters.

Summary: The brass ash sample was characterized by high Zn and Cu content, with zincite, tenorite, quartz, willemite, and metallic Zn and Cu as major phases. By using oxidative roasting and alkaline leaching methods, the initial Cl and F content in the brass ashes was reduced, aiming to meet the requirements for subsequent Zn electrolysis in a hydrometallurgical route.

Summary: This paper examines the impact of investor sentiment on Bitcoin returns. A sentiment indicator is created based on computational text analysis and driven by PCA method using a large dataset of messages discussed on social media and several financial indicators. The study finds that the sentiment index is a strong predictor of cryptocurrency market returns in the short term and its impact on Bitcoin returns is significant during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed sentiment index can generate excess returns for investors, suggesting important policy implications.
