Medieval skeletons help reveal genetic causes of bone tumors – Medievalists.net

Two men buried in a medieval cemetery in Ireland suffered from a genetic condition called multiple osteochondromas, which causes benign bone tumors. One of the disease mutations is a new discovery, so this is the first time such insights have been unlocked from ancient genomic data. In 2003, a cemetery was discovered in Ballyhanna, which …

Discovery of life on Titan could reveal clues to early life in the universe

Discovery of life on Titan could reveal clues to early life in the universe

Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, has a surface temperature of 94 degrees Kelvin above absolute zero, about one-third that of Earth. Titan is located 9.5 times further than the Earth-Sun separation, and the surface temperature of solar system objects decreases roughly as the square root of their distance from the Sun. Coincidentally, 94 degrees was the …

The Andromeda galaxy, which may have been growing by cannibalizing smaller galaxies.

Galactic cannibal Andromeda feasts on smaller galaxies, reveal cosmic remnants

Andromeda, the Milky Way’s neighboring spiral galaxy, may be a cosmic cannibal that grew by swallowing smaller galaxies. Astronomers came to this conclusion by observing a globular cluster of stars called the Dulais Structure, named after the Welsh term meaning “dark stream”, which now dwells in Andromeda but seems to come from outside galaxy. The …

Studying muonium to reveal new physics beyond the Standard Model

Muonium frequency sweep at 22.5 W in the range of 200 to 800 MHz. The adjusted black line is with, the gray line without the 3Scontribution. The error bars correspond to the statistical error of counting. The colored areas represent the underlying contributions of 2S−2P1/2 transitions, namely 583 MHz (blue), 1140 MHz (orange), 1326 MHz …
