A rare particle decay measured at the LHC may be showing one of the strongest recent hints of physics beyond the Standard Model. A highly unusual pattern detected in rare B meson decays is giving researchers fresh reason to suspect new physics may be hiding beyond the Standard Model. New findings from research we are […]
AI Learns To Work Backward and Reveal Hidden Forces in Nature
A new AI breakthrough helps scientists uncover the hidden forces shaping the world around us. Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed a new AI-based technique that could help scientists solve some of the most difficult mathematical problems used to study the natural world. The approach, called “Mollifier Layers,” is designed to handle inverse […]
Scientists Warn of Rising Male Childlessness As Global Fertility Changes
A recent study examines how fertility differs between males and females. Birth rates are declining in most parts of the world. The fertility rate refers to the average number of children a woman would be expected to have during her lifetime if current yearly rates applied. In other words, women are having fewer children. But […]

Scientists Just Rewrote Biology: “Hidden” Mechanism Could Transform Diabetes Treatment
Researchers have uncovered an unexpected biological process that may allow the body to directly control stored sugar, challenging decades of scientific understanding. Researchers at WEHI have identified a previously unknown way the body controls sugar storage, a discovery that challenges long-standing biology concepts and could open new directions for disease treatment. Published in Nature, the […]
Scientists Solve 320-Million-Year Mystery of Reptile Skin Armor
Skin bones evolved multiple times in lizards, with goannas showing a rare case of lost armor returning. Bones did not first evolve as structures buried inside the body. Their origins trace back to the skin, appearing soon after the earliest complex animals emerged. Since then, skin bones have appeared repeatedly throughout evolution. Scientists still do […]

Hidden Heart Risk Found in 1 in 5 People, Study Warns
A new study identifies the lipoprotein(a) levels linked to the highest risk. New findings from more than 20,000 patients in three major NIH studies show that elevated Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is linked to remaining cardiovascular risk and may call for more aggressive risk reduction. Lp(a) is a cholesterol-carrying particle in the blood. It resembles LDL, often […]
