A Single Immune Switch Could Help Drive Widespread Aging

Blocking a single inflammatory receptor protected mice from many of aging’s most damaging effects. Aging may be driven in part by a breakdown in the body’s cleanup system. New research suggests that as specialized immune cells lose their ability to remove worn-out cells, inflammatory debris begins to accumulate, damaging organs throughout the body. In experiments […]

Scientists Discover What Makes Hydrogen Go Quantum

The symmetry of vanadium’s crystal structure acts as a switch for hydrogen’s quantum behavior. Inside a vanadium crystal, hydrogen can travel in two very different ways. It may move as a conventional particle that needs enough energy to jump between locations, or behave like a quantum wave that passes through barriers. Researchers have now identified […]

Scientists Discover Extreme Acceleration Inside a Nuclear Fireball

Simulations reveal some of the strongest accelerations ever produced on Earth, opening new avenues for QCD research. When atomic nuclei smash together at almost the speed of light, their internal matter briefly transforms into quark–gluon plasma, an extremely hot fluid in which quarks and gluons move freely. Scientists have closely examined the plasma’s intense rotation […]

Giant Plasma Waves May Be Stripping Away Mars’ Atmosphere

Kelvin–Helmholtz waves may help the solar wind strip atmospheric particles from Mars. Mars is continually exposed to a stream of charged particles racing outward from the Sun. Earth’s global magnetic field deflects much of this solar wind, but Mars lacks a comparable shield. The flow can therefore strike the planet’s upper atmosphere directly and gradually […]

A Daily Multivitamin May Help Older Adults Stay Active

A daily multivitamin may offer older adults a simple way to support everyday function and independence. Maintaining the ability to handle ordinary tasks without severe symptoms is an important part of quality of life in later years. New research suggests that taking a daily multivitamin may help older adults preserve that everyday level of functioning. […]
