Particles of the Standard Model of particle physics. Credit: Daniel Dominguez/CERN The theories and findings of countless physicists since the 1930s led to an excellent insight into the basic structure of matter. They found that there are a few basic building blocks known as fundamental particles that compose everything in the universe, ruled by four...
Researchers at the University of Cambridge decided that concentrated farming that allows for natural habitats is preferable to environmentally friendly agribusiness. Based on the study findings, concentrated farming with the highest possible yields is the most effective agricultural method. This means that farming can be limited to smaller regions, allowing more space to be left...
Eardrum perforations can cause pain in addition to hearing loss and are difficult to repair. The PhonoGraft is a 3D-printed implant created by Harvard scientists that may cure harm by stimulating natural cell renewal. It is presently available for sale. The eardrum, or tympanic the membrane itself, is a thin, round segment of tissue that...
Plans to measure the impact of historical research as if it were a science will undoubtedly mean fewer history books that delight the general reader. The kind of history books that delight most readers probably incorporate original research with elegant, easily accessible prose: possibly a book such as Christopher Clark’s The Sleepwalkers or Lyndal Roper’s...
In accordance to a survey, disasters brought on by climate change increase the vulnerability of women and girls since crucial health services, like family planning, are neglected during such times. According to a report by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), situations like violent storms prevent access to sexual and reproductive health care. In turn,...
Scientists have collected evidence of local symmetry breaking in a quantum material upon heating. They believe these local states are associated with electronic orbitals that serve as orbital degeneracy lifting (ODL) "precursors" to the titanium (Ti) dimers (two molecules linked together) formed when the material is cooled to low temperature. (Electron orbitals are considered...
Crystals of the material hexagonal boron nitride can be etched so that the pattern you draw at the top transforms into a smaller and razor-sharp version at the bottom. These perforations can be used as a shadow mask to draw components and circuits in graphene. This process enables a precision that is impossible with...

The intergovernmental cooperation between the United States and China was an essential part of the battle against Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2003. However, a significant cooperation to battle COVID-19 has not happened yet. The state of US and China bilateral connections and the failure to collaborate have possibly worsened the pandemic. Despite resemblances...
Dogged monitoring assisted researchers in sniffing out a far better understanding of the space rock. The image shows the asteroid Kleopatra and its two small moons, AlexHelios and CleoSelene, based on data gathered in July 2017.
