A collaboration of physicists has made the most precise measurement of the mass of the W boson. The new measurement of this key particle differs drastically from the Standard Model's predictions– and it may unravel physics as we know it. Source of Article
Through experimentation with a highly promising anti-aging technique, scientists at the UK's Babraham Institute have demonstrated a new way of turning back the clock in human skin cells, so they function like cells 30 years younger. Source of Article
Researchers in Japan have shown that a common material is excellent at storing and releasing heat, which could be useful for recycling industrial waste heat. The material exchanges water with the air, allowing it to quickly absorb or release heat. Source of Article
The last chapter in a trio of reports from the UN's top climate scientists has landed, with the authors noting some reasons for optimism, mounting an argument that the window is still open for meaningful action to limit warming to around 1.5 °C. Source of Article
In phase 1 trials, an RNA gene therapy has shown promise for reducing levels of a lipoprotein associated with a high risk of heart disease. The treatment could help fight a form of the disease that can’t currently be treated through lifestyle changes. Source of Article
A team at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has demonstrated a type of "hibernating" battery that can preserve its energy for months at a time and release it on demand when heated up, ticking some important boxes for renewable energy storage. Source of Article
A study has identified 75 genomic regions associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The findings add to a growing hypothesis immune dysfunction drives the disease and also raise the possibility of developing a predictive Alzheimer’s genetic risk test Source of Article
Although kidney stones can be treated with medication, larger ones are often broken up with an endoscopic laser. A new hydrogel is now claimed to be capable of removing even the smallest of the resulting fragments, instead of just leaving them. Source of Article
In pursuit of a treatment for alopecia areata, an autoimmune disorder that causes hair loss, scientists have found new success by repurposing a common arthritis drug which proved effective in around a third of subjects. Source of Article
An international team of scientists has published the first complete, gap-free sequence of the human genome. The new reference genome adds hundreds of millions of base pairs to earlier drafts, filling in crucial gaps to improve studies of disease. Source of Article
