RNC‚ 27 States Urge SCOTUS to Keep Trump on Ballot in Colorado or There Will Be 'Chaos in Our Country'

Strong Female Protagonists Aren't a Bad Thing‚ Modern Writers Just Don't Know How to Write Them

NEW: Colorado Secretary of State Changes Course‚ Puts Donald Trump Back on the Primary Ballot

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease affect more than 270 million people worldwide. AD is the leading cause of dementia‚ resulting in memory loss due to atrophy of neurons in the hippocampus‚ which is the part of the brain that regulates learning and memory.

Honey yields in the U.S. have been declining since the 1990s‚ with honey producers and scientists unsure why‚ but a new study by Penn State researchers has uncovered clues in the mystery of the missing honey.

A team led by Prof. Lyu Bo and Dr. Bae Cheonho from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a new code to analyze the multi-fluid plasma rotation and transport properties in tokamak plasmas‚ including the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST).

Significant evolutionary changes happen gradually as opposed to in dramatic "monster" steps‚ biologists have discovered‚ answering the long-debated question as to how game-changing innovations like flight‚ vision‚ and the bearing of live offspring came to be.

Ultra-intense ultrashort lasers have a wide-ranging scope of applications‚ encompassing basic physics‚ national security‚ industrial service‚ and health care. In basic physics‚ such lasers have become a powerful tool for researching strong-field laser physics‚ especially for laser-driven radiation sources‚ laser particle acceleration‚ vacuum quantum electrodynamics‚ and more.

Physics is filled with mysteries. To find a few worth exploring‚ look no further than an ice cube. At room temperature‚ of course‚ the cube will melt before your eyes. But even far below freezing‚ ice can shift in barely perceptible ways that scientists are still trying to understand. Using imaging tools at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory‚ researchers have detected a phenomenon known as premelting at temperatures far lower than those previously observed.

Exposure to mercury (Hg) is extremely neurotoxic in most chemical forms. Even scientists who study mercury compounds are at risk due to potential exposure to Hg. Renowned physicist Michael Faraday suffered from Hg poisoning due to prolonged exposure to Hg vapors‚ leading him to halt his research at the age of 49 due to deteriorating health. Another example is lab chemist Karen Wetterhahn who was killed by dimethylmercury poisoning after a few drops escaped from a pipette and landed on one of her latex-gloved hands.
