Anomalies in nuclear physics experiments may show signs of a new force. A team of scientists in Hungary currently published a paper that hints at the presence of a previously unknown subatomic particle. The group first reported finding traces of the particle in 2016, and they now report more traces in a different experiment. If the...
An artist's illustration of radiation residue from the Big Bang distorted by dark matter 12 billion years ago. For the first time, dark matter from twelve billion years ago has been detected. A group of scientists from Nagoya College in Japan has collaborated to investigate the dark matter surrounding galaxies as they appeared twelve billion years...
Several science students may imagine a ball rolling down a hill or a car skidding due to friction as prototypical examples of the systems physicists care about. However, much of modern physics consists of looking for objects and essentially invisible sensations: the small electrons of quantum physics and the particles concealed within odd steels...
Simply ten months after the initial genome sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, two mRNA vaccines were shown to provide 95% effectiveness against symptomatic infections through randomized, placebo-controlled trials of more than 74,000 individuals. That unprecedented success was partially sustained by the $10 billion governmental investment in Operation Warp Speed (OWS) in March 2020 to accelerate...
The cost to producers for implementing EPR for packaging fell by £1 billion due to the exclusion of business waste. The Recycling Association has cautioned that proposals for business waste collection areas in the Scottish Government's circular economy bill could be "damaging" to the recycling industry. Within the consultation, the Scottish Government states it intends to...
Credit: Sharon McCutcheon/Unsplash A new study proposes that artificial intelligence (AI) can devise approaches to wealth distribution that are more popular than systems developed by people. The discoveries made by a group of researchers at UK-based AI firm DeepMind show that machine learning systems are not just proficient at fixing complicated physics and biology issues but...
Credit: Renascença. Russia's failure to attain an immediate victory over Ukraine has carried the West to consider what its own goals in the conflict need to be. In performing that, it must walk a fine line between the disgrace of insufficient action and the danger of strategic hubris. VIENNA-- We know what Russian President Vladimir Putin...
In association with the British High Commission in Bangladesh, the Directorate General of Nursing and Midwifery (DGNM) and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) arranged a dissemination seminar on Wednesday 1 June 2022, at the auditorium of DGNM in Dhaka to share findings of two studies on midwifery in Bangladesh. Those two independent pieces of...

Creating renewable biocement entirely out of waste material Cement is a binder, a substance utilized while building that hardens, sets, and sticks to other materials to bind them together. When sand and gravel are blended with cement, concrete is made. Cement is classified as non-hydraulic or hydraulic. Hydraulic cement needs...
