Why are scientists looking for the Higgs boson’s closest friend?

Scientists at the world’s largest physics experiment have reported the most precise measurement of the most massive subatomic particle we know. The discovery sounds esoteric, but it would not be an understatement to say that it has implications for the entire universe. The Greek philosopher Empedocles hypothesized 2,400 years ago that matter could be broken … Read more

Scientists discover a new way to effectively treat cancer

SciTechDaily

A breakthrough treatment uses nutrient-based nanomedicine to reactivate dormant metabolic pathways in cancer cells, effectively halting melanoma growth. This new method could transform cancer treatment by combining tyrosine nanomicelles with laser therapy to rapidly eradicate cancer and prevent its recurrence. Reactivating dormant metabolic pathways in cancer cells can help fight cancer. An international team of … Read more

How bad will hurricanes get? Scientists search for answers in ancient storms.

CAMPBELL LAKE, Fla. — Emily Elliott was searching the water for something precious. Elliott, a University of Alabama scientist who studies ancient hurricanes, came to this Gulf Coast lake to sediment that could unlock the secrets of violent storms of the past—and offer a glimpse of future storms as Earth’s climate warms. Aboard a small … Read more

Scientists drop extinction bomb, claim freak event killed last woolly mammoths

Woolly mammoths roamed the Ice Age tundras of North America, Europe and Asia as early as 300,000 years ago.  They later became extinct approximately 4,000 years ago on an isolated island off the coast of Siberia in the Arctic Ocean.

Scientists behind a new genomic study now claim that the last woolly mammoths on Earth were wiped out by an extreme storm or a plague – meaning that if an extinction event hadn’t happened, they could still be around to date. These giant Ice Age beasts roamed the then tundras of North America, Europe and … Read more
