Measurements from the LHCb collaboration expand scientific understanding of how individual quarks assemble to form observable matter. Research from the Large Hadron Collider has unveiled that quarks, the primary components of visible matter, form composite particles differently based on environmental conditions. This discovery challenges the previously held belief that baryon production from quarks is uniform, pointing to a need for revised theoretical models to explain matter formation under varying densities.

Elusive temporary star described in historical documents recreated using new computer model, shows it may have recently started generating stellar winds. A supernova remnant from 1181, resulting from two colliding white dwarfs, was analyzed using historical records and modern astronomy. The discovery in the constellation Cassiopeia reveals a complex structure with new stellar winds, possibly indicating a reignition of the remnant star. This interdisciplinary approach provides deeper insights into the dynamics of stellar phenomena.

CALIFORNIA – Starting July 1, landlords will only be allowed to collect one month’s rent for the security deposit on a rental property. Assembly Bill 12, signed into law last October, says regardless of whether the residential property is unfurnished or furnished, only one month’s rent can be charged in addition to any rent for the first month paid on or before initial occupancy.

Discoveries may lead to novel treatments and enhanced therapies. New findings from the University Hospital Bonn (UKB), in collaboration with the University of Bonn, have revealed that specific early alterations in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can result in noticeable local vision loss. This breakthrough could enhance the treatment and monitoring of this eye condition in elderly patients, which typically progresses to central blindness, and facilitate the testing of new treatments.

A breakthrough now makes it possible to assemble the genomes of extinct species. A team of scientists from Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Copenhagen, and the Centre Nacional d’Anàlisi Genòmica and Centre for Genomic Regulation have discovered fossils of ancient chromosomes in the remains of a woolly mammoth that died 52,000 years ago. These fossils preserve the structure of the ancient chromosomes at a nanometer scale – billionths of a meter. The discovery is featured on the cover of Cell.

UTEP study reveals that both nanoplastics and forever chemicals modify crucial proteins in breast milk and infant formulas. Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have achieved important advancements in the study of nanoplastics and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), also referred to as forever chemicals. Their research demonstrates how these compounds can modify the structure and function of biomolecules. Specifically, the team found that these substances can change proteins present in human breast milk and infant formulas, which could potentially lead to developmental problems later on.

The island is Australia’s smallest state, but its mainland fills the frame of this astronaut photograph. An astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) took this photo of Australia’s island state of Tasmania while the station orbited almost directly overhead. From this vantage point, the island’s broad geographic features stand out, including its rugged terrain and coasts.
