Research Study Shows Link Between Oral Microbiome and Naturally Occuring Alveolar Bone Loss

The Oral Microbiome and Naturally Occurring Alveolar Bone Loss: An Experimental InvestigationIt is increasingly obvious that the collection of bacteria, viruses, and fungi that dwell on and within us—the human microbiome—significantly benefits our health. The microbiome as a supplement has been described as a management tool for immune cells that affect bone health in...

Did Civilization Rise Because of a Comet Impact?

Credit: Vladislav TchakarovHuman beings unexpectedly changed around 13,000 years ago. Hunter-gatherer societies began to transform their lifestyle quickly. They began to construct permanent settlements and focused their efforts on farming. The earliest man-made megalithic structures around were also constructed around this period. Was a comet collision the reason behind this fast advancement of human...

NASA Telescope Idea Could Spot Vegetation on Distant Exoplanets

Credit: Slava TuryshevNASA states it could detect "surface features" and even "hints of habitability" on distant planets.NASA is financing research for a conceptual telescope called a "solar gravitational lens" (SGL) that can allow us to observe remote exoplanets at a fantastic resolution-- a futuristic endeavor that might assist discovery at last if we...

“Boson Clouds” Could Explain Dark Matter

Credit:  Brian KoberleinThe nature of dark matter stills astonishes astronomers. As the search for dark matter particles keeps on turning up nothing, it is tempting to throw away the dark matter model altogether, but indirect evidence for the stuff remains to be strong. So what is it? One team has an idea, and they...

First Detection of Exotic ‘X’ Particles in Quark-Gluon Plasma

Physicists have found evidence of rare X particles in the quark-gluon plasma produced in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The findings could redefine the kinds of particles that were abundant in the early universe. Credit: CERNIn the initial millionths of a second after the Big Bang, our universe was an agitated pull...
