Large Hadron Collider Finds Signs of Big Bang Matter in Small Collisions

Scientists using CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have found compelling new evidence that relatively small atomic collisions can recreate quark-gluon plasma. This exotic state of matter is thought to have filled the universe moments after the Big Bang. At temperatures more than 100,000 times hotter than the center

A possible loophole could allow rapidly spinning black holes to split

Black holes are generally understood not to split apart, but researchers have found a possible exception involving extremely fast-spinning black holes. Their analysis identifies a loophole in the laws that normally prevent this kind of division. If the proposed mechanism holds, a rapidly spinning black hole could split into

Long-Term Study Links Excess Body Weight With Faster Brain Aging

A long-term study involving more than 8,200 adults suggests that excess body weight may be associated with faster brain aging over time. Researchers tracked changes in memory, concentration, and decision-making skills across 24 years and found that participants with greater body weight generally experienced steeper cognitive declines.
