Patrick Simmons+Follow174-Year-Old Physics Mystery Solved!Physicists just spotted the Transverse Thomson Effect for the first time—something scientists have been hunting since 1851! Basically, they managed to make a material heat up or cool down at right angles to an electric current, just by flipping a magnetic field. It’s a big deal for super-precise temperature control, and it took a wild combo of bismuth, antimony, and some clever science tricks to pull off. Who knew old-school physics could still surprise us? #Science #Physics #ScienceNews220Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowCERN Just Got Us Closer to the Big Bang MysteryScientists at CERN just found a tiny but crucial difference in how matter and antimatter particles called baryons decay—about 5% more often for matter! This is the first time they've spotted this in the particles that make up most of the universe. It could help explain why we exist at all, instead of being wiped out by antimatter after the big bang. Imagine: a real clue to why there’s something instead of nothing! #Science #CERN #ScienceNews5814Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowThis Microbe Breaks All the RulesScientists just found a wild new organism that’s basically the lovechild of a virus and a cell. Meet Sukunaarchaeum mirabile: it hijacks its host like a virus but still has the tools to make its own proteins. Its genome is so tiny, it’s breaking records—and it’s got experts rethinking what even counts as ‘life.’ Could there be more weird life forms out there? This discovery is seriously blurring the lines! #Science #ScienceNews #WeirdBiology30Share
Benjamin Jackson+FollowBabies Born With DNA From 3 People?!Get this: scientists in the UK just helped eight families have healthy babies using DNA from three people—mom, dad, and a donor! This wild new IVF technique swaps out faulty mitochondria (the cell’s energy source) to stop rare genetic diseases before they start. The babies are totally healthy, and the donor DNA is less than 1%—just enough to make a difference, but not enough to change who they are. It’s a game-changer for families with no other options, though some experts are still cautious about the long-term effects. #Health #BodyHealth #ScienceNews6625Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowUniverse’s Big Secret: Matter vs. AntimatterEver wondered why the universe didn’t just wipe itself out after the big bang? Scientists at CERN just found a tiny but crucial difference in how matter and antimatter decay—specifically in particles called baryons. This could be the missing clue to why we exist at all! It’s the first time this kind of difference has been spotted in the stuff that makes up most of the universe. Could this finally lead us to the secrets of the cosmos? #Science #ScienceNews #BigBang222Share
Jason Weaver+FollowBabies With Three Parents?!Scientists in the UK just helped eight families welcome babies with DNA from three people—yes, three! This wild new technique swaps out faulty mitochondrial DNA to prevent serious inherited diseases. The babies are healthy and thriving, but the process is stirring up some big debates about ethics and the future of genetic tech. Is this the start of a new era for families battling genetic disorders, or are we opening a can of worms? #Health #BodyHealth #ScienceNews20Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowRadioactive Surprise Found Deep in the PacificScientists just found a wild spike of radioactive beryllium-10 in deep Pacific ocean mud—way more than expected! This 10-million-year-old layer is like a cosmic diary, hinting at ancient climate shakeups and maybe even wild space events. The big mystery: Was it wild ocean currents or something cosmic that dumped all that beryllium? Either way, the ocean floor is holding onto some seriously juicy secrets from Earth’s past! #Science #ScienceNews #OceanMysteries17716Share
martinezlaura+FollowMatter vs. Antimatter: The Plot ThickensCERN scientists just spotted something wild: for the first time ever, they caught matter and antimatter behaving differently in baryons—the particles that make up almost everything we see. This tiny difference could help explain why our universe didn’t just vanish in a puff of energy after the Big Bang. The catch? The effect is super small, so there’s still a big mystery to solve. Physics drama, anyone? #Science #ScienceNews #CERN362Share
Danielle White+FollowYellowstone’s Wild New Hot Pool!Did you see this? Yellowstone just got a brand new, steaming blue pool thanks to a hydrothermal explosion—basically, underground water got so hot and pressurized it literally blew a hole in the ground! Geologists think it popped up around Christmas 2024, and it’s already 13 feet wide and hotter than your bath. The craziest part? It happened with barely a rumble. Nature’s surprises never stop at Yellowstone! #News #Yellowstone #ScienceNews40Share
Michelle York+Follow24-Million-Year-Old Rhino Tooth?!Scientists just found a 24-million-year-old rhino tooth in the Arctic, and it’s packed with ancient proteins—way older than any DNA we’ve ever sequenced. Thanks to the super-tough enamel, these proteins survived like tiny time capsules. This is huge for figuring out rhino family history (yes, even the OG ‘unicorn’ rhino). Plus, they found more ancient proteins in fossils from Kenya’s desert, proving these molecules can survive heat, not just ice. Welcome to the wild world of paleoproteomics! #Science #ScienceNews #RhinoDiscovery210Share
