From the article:

Space physicist Martin Archer of Imperial College London has been exploring the boundary of Earth's magnetosphere for several years.  

 

"Understanding the boundaries of any system is a key problem," he says. "That's how stuff gets in: energy, momentum, matter."

Recently, Archer and his colleagues discovered that the boundary of the magnetosphere, called the magnetopause, behaves like the membrane of a drum: Strike it with a pulse from the solar wind, and waves, called magnetosonic waves, propagate along the magnetopause towards the poles, and are reflected back towards the source.

From the article:
A newly developed test that measures a number of metabolites in urine can effectively determine not only the quality of a person’s nutritional intake, but whether they are on the right diet for their specific metabolism. The five-minute test creates a novel "urine fingerprint" that could help clinicians generate personalized dietary advice tailored to individual patients.
