Researchers at Ohio State University have developed a new method for detecting dark matter, based on existing meteor detection technology. By using ground-based radar to look for ionization trails, similar to those produced by meteors as they pass through the air, they hope to use Earth’s atmosphere as a detector for large particles. The results …

In 2022, it is estimated that more than 600,000 people will die from cancer each year in the United States. A multigene expression signature in tumors is associated with aggressive disease and poor patient outcomes, and it has the potential to become a genetic biomarker for cancer. First source of energy for human cells, mitochondria …

Physicists have long struggled to explain why the Universe began with conditions conducive to the evolution of life. Why do physical laws and constants take on very specific values that allow stars, planets, and ultimately life to develop? The expanding force of the Universe, dark energy, for example, is much weaker than theory suggests – …

Quantum mechanics is complex in more ways than one. It is not only complicated in terms of mathematics, but also difficult to interpret in terms of implications. This is also a very controversial area. While he has some of the brightest minds in modern physics backing him up, he also has hardcore critics – the …
