Phys.org / World's largest particle smasher halts for upgrade to boost hunt for dark matter
The world's most powerful particle accelerator will shutter operations Monday for four years of renovations to dramatically boost its collision capacity and the potential for unlocking one of the greatest mysteries of the ...
Phys.org / Shining blue light on gold-graphene nanodots achieves wound healing trifecta
Closing wounds, burns and deep cuts isn't enough to kick-start healing. A wound needs a clean environment, free of bacterial infection and interruption. That calls for three components working together—one to kill bacteria, ...
Medical Xpress / Lecanemab for Alzheimer's disease: Discussing risks and benefits is key
Canada recently approved lecanemab to treat early Alzheimer's disease, but the clinical benefits are modest, it carries a risk of serious adverse effects, and treatment is complex. An article in the Canadian Medical Association ...
Phys.org / 'Fingerprints' of black hole's event horizon detected for first time
Scientists have detected the "fingerprints" of a black hole's event horizon—the boundary from which nothing can escape—for the first time, according to research published Wednesday.
Phys.org / Climate warnings need to be told in tangible ways to prevent disaster
England is sweltering under a red heat health alert and could see its hottest June day on record. In North America, football fans and players are suffering, with a quarter of this summer's World Cup matches forecast to be ...
Medical Xpress / Hospital discharge sedatives linked to more falls, readmissions and deaths in older adults
Older adults discharged from hospital with a new prescription for a sedative, especially a benzodiazepine or antipsychotic, are at increased risk of falls and other negative consequences, according to new research published ...
Phys.org / Off-center stellar death points to wandering supermassive black hole stripped of its own galaxy
Astronomers have uncovered new details about the black hole that ripped apart a star in a tidal disruption event named AT2024tvd. Findings suggest it is a wandering supermassive black hole—the kind that is not located at ...
Phys.org / May 2024 superstorm drew most ring current ions from Earth, not solar wind, research reveals
In May 2024, auroras were observed at unusually low latitudes across the globe, lighting up skies that rarely see such displays. Inside Earth's magnetosphere, the region of space surrounding our planet and dominated by its ...
Phys.org / Swiss glaciers facing drastic loss from heat wave: Expert
Swiss glaciers are set to lose an enormous amount of ice due to the heat wave battering Europe, the head of Glacier Monitoring in Switzerland (GLAMOS) told AFP.
Phys.org / A 'direct wave' from colliding black holes reveals signature of a whirlpool in spacetime
Black holes are some of the most mysterious objects in the universe, but they aren't always silent. When two black holes are close enough to each other, they spiral toward one another, eventually crashing in an enormous explosion ...
Phys.org / What are supermassive black holes? Everything you need to know about these mysterious objects
Nearly every massive galaxy observed hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that some of these supermassive black holes may even be too big for the galaxy they're found ...
Medical Xpress / Neural pathways reveal a push-pull system for coordinating goal-directed behavior in mice
Most of the tasks that humans complete daily entail carefully coordinating movements and tracking progress made toward a desired goal. Past studies have highlighted the role of the basal ganglia (BG), a set of interconnected ...
