Read article →A new Alzheimer's drug, KCL-286, has shown promise in repairing DNA damage and reducing inflammation in mice with Alzheimer's-like disease, offering a potential new approach to tackling the condition.
Read article →Scientists at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have made a groundbreaking discovery, finding evidence that small atomic collisions can recreate the state of matter that existed in the universe moments after the Big Bang. This exotic substance, known as quark-gluon plasma, forms at extremely high temperatures and pressures, and was previously thought to require massive collisions involving heavy atomic nuclei. The findings challenge this assumption and offer new insights into the universe's earliest moments.
