In a recent study, physicists placed the strictest limit yet on how much the alpha could change with the density of nearby matter. The method for measuring the constant may help probe whether the...
Researchers have found evidence that magnetic waves in a polar coronal hole contain enough energy to heat the corona, possibly explaining the solar physics conundrum called the “coronal heating...
Rosen et al. show that 3,3’-diindolylmethane—produced in the stomach after consuming cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli—protects against ionizing radiation, the kind released in nuclear...
Researchers Ramkumar et al. have uncovered evidence that the Smurf2 protein, which typically plays an “enforcer” role in cellular aging, could suppress tumor cells. Read more in Nature Communications...
