Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding subatomic particles using a new quantum computer approach. The standard model of particle physics describes how matter and antimatter interact, but experimental observations are challenging due to high energies required. To overcome this, scientists use computer simulations. A team led by the University of Innsbruck and the University … Read more
A recent study has linked eating food from plastic containers to increased risk of organ malfunction and disease. When plastics are heated, tiny particles can leach into food, leading to a build-up in the gut microbiome that causes inflammation, neurotoxicity, and disruption of hormone production. This can result in damage to vital organs such as … Read more

A rare astronomical phenomenon is approaching Earth. Scientists predict that the binary star system T Coronae Borealis will explode into a brilliant nova, expected to be visible to the naked eye for a few nights in mid-March. Located about 3,000 light-years away in the Northern Crown constellation, T CrB consists of two stars: a red … Read more

Heathrow Airport, Europe’s busiest airport by passenger numbers, was shut down in 2024 due to a fire at an electricity substation, causing widespread disruption to air travel. The closure had a significant impact on airlines that rely heavily on the hub, particularly those operating on thin margins. The primary concern for airlines was ensuring the … Read more
Scientists have discovered a hidden world beneath Antarctica’s ice, where rivers flow uphill and could destabilize large coastal glaciers that control the rate of sea level rise. The findings, published in Nature Communications, reveal a landscape of steep mountains and valleys, traversed by meandering rivers fed by geothermal heat seeping from deep inside the earth. … Read more
South Sudan’s opposition has condemned the arrest of several key political figures, including four officials from the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM-IO), just days after one of its army bases was bombed.
