Scientists Have Discovered an Entirely New Shape, And It Was Hiding in Your Cells

Scientists have just discovered an entirely new geometric shape previously unknown to science or mathematics, and it looks like it’s been hiding in your skin all along. Read More

The Large Hadron Collider Just Successfully Accelerated Its First Atoms

The Large Hadron Collider below Switzerland and France has just accelerated its first atoms to almost the speed of light, and the results have “exceeded predictions“. Read More

Study identifies inherited and acquired mutations that drive precancerous blood condition

A new study led by researchers at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health has identified some of the first known inherited genetic variants that significantly raise a person’s likelihood of developing clonal hematopoiesis, an age-related white blood cell condition linked with higher risk of certain blood cancers and cardiovascular disease.

Artificial intelligence can predict your personality by scanning your eyes

A joint project between the University of South Australia and the University of Stuttgart had an artificial intelligence track and monitor the eye movements of 42 human participants using a video-based eye-tracker from SensorMotoric Instruments. Read More

First-of-its-kind clinical trial will use reprogrammed adult stem cells to treat Parkinson’s

Researchers in Japan today announced the launch of a clinical trial to treat Parkinson’s disease with neurological material derived from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, mature cells chemically manipulated to return to an early stage of development from which they can theoretically differentiate into any of the body’s specialized cells.

A recent investigation shows seabirds may be transporting ocean microplastics to land

Plastics, those indestructible relics of our throwaway culture, are omnipresent in the oceans, making their way into everything from sea salt to seabirds. Read More

Researchers Discover “Angel Particle” Which Is Both Matter And Antimatter At The Same Time

A team of scientists has found evidence for an unusual particle that, bizarrely, is also its own antiparticle. It was first theorized 80 years ago but now looks like it might be a reality. Read More

Laser-blasted graphene boosts capacity of sodium-ion batteries

Lithium-ion batteries are effective, but they can be a bit on the expensive side. Striking a balance between common materials and efficiency is important, and regular old salt looks like it could fit the bill – after a few kinks are ironed out. Read More
