Scientists Can Now Test for Extra Dimensions and Unveil New Realities with the LHC
TL;DR
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is pushing the boundaries of physics by enabling scientists to search for the Higgs Boson, explore the mysteries of dark matter, and potentially detect evidence of extra dimensions. Despite wild conspiracy theories claiming the LHC could open portals to parallel dimensions or create black holes, the reality is grounded in groundbreaking scientific exploration. The LHC may even briefly produce microscopic black holes, offering insights into the existence of extra dimensions without any danger to our planet. These discoveries could revolutionise our understanding of the universe.

Revolutionary Two-Photon Microscope Captures Brain Activity in Real-Time
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
Researchers have developed a revolutionary two-photon fluorescence microscope that captures neural activity at high speed and cellular resolution, offering unprecedented insights into brain function.
This new approach, which images faster and with less harm to brain tissue than traditional methods, could transform our understanding of how neurons communicate in real-time, potentially leading to breakthroughs in treating neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Discovery: Human bodies begin breaking down at a very precise age
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: biotech/medical, genetics, life extension
It’s no revelation that the human body undergoes natural wear and tear as we age. But you might be surprised to discover that this process isn’t as gradual as we’d presumed.
A recent study reveals some remarkable truths about aging, specifically when and how our bodies start to ‘break down’
The man at the helm of the study is Michael Snyder. Chair of genetics at Stanford School of Medicine and recognized for his exceptional contribution to the field, his team’s research provides some fascinating insights into the specifics of our biological aging process.

Geochemistry study links ancient anorthosites to early Earth’s hot subduction
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: chemistry
A team of researchers has made strides in understanding the formation of massif-type anorthosites, enigmatic rocks that only formed during the middle part of Earth’s history. These plagioclase-rich igneous rock formations, which can cover areas as large as 42,000 square kilometers and host titanium ore deposits, have puzzled scientists for decades due to conflicting theories about their origins.

Mpox outbreak in Africa was neglected — it could now turn into the next global pandemic
Posted by Quinn Sena in categories: biotech/medical, health
In recent years the second-largest Ebola outbreak ever took place in the wider area and, despite the availability of vaccines and treatments, posed considerable challenges.
What needs to happen
A recent article we co-authored in The Lancet Global Health outlines what needs to be done to contain this outbreak and prevent it from turning into an epidemic, possibly even a pandemic.
