New genetic mutation may cause severe childhood cases glaucomaa debilitating disease that runs in families and can lead to vision loss in children as young as three years old, a study has found. The discovery was made by an international team of researchers led by Mass Eye and Ear, a division of Mass General Brigham, …

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 …

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 …

Wide variation in results from 73 teams testing the same hypothesis with the same data. The distribution of estimated AMEs across all converged models (n=1,253) includes negative (yellow; in the direction predicted by the given hypothesis the teams were testing), non-zero (grey), or positive (blue) results. using a 95% CI. MEAs are xy-normalized. The y-axis …

A few hundred yards from where we are sitting is a large metal chamber devoid of air and covered with the cables needed to control the instruments within. A particle beam silently passes through the interior of the chamber at about half the speed of light until it strikes a piece of solid material, resulting …
