Physicists Found the Ghost Haunting the World’s Most Famous Particle Accelerator

An invisible force has long eluded detection within the halls of the world’s most famous particle accelerator—until now.

In research published in the journal Nature Physics, scientists at CERN in Switzerland and Goethe University Frankfurt in Germany announced that they had isolated a resonant “ghost” that affects how particles behave inside the Super Proton Synchotron (SPS).

A new study in Scientific Reports describes the discovery of a surprisingly large hydrothermal vent field along the underwater shelf of Milos Island, Greece. Researchers identified the vents during the METEOR expedition M192, using a variety of tools that included advanced underwater systems such as an autonomous vehicle and a remotely operated vehicle to map and inspect the seafloor.

Bitcoin Miners on the Run After Stealing $1.1 Billion in Electricity

Police are hunting about 14,000 illegal Bitcoin mining operations in Malaysia, which they say have stolen around $1.1 billion in electricity.

Traditionally, thieves usually targeted some form of tangible good — whether it’s physical or digital currency, jewelry, or a car. But when it comes to mining cryptocurrencies, things get a little stranger. As Bloomberg reports, local law enforcement is hunting down about 14,000 illegal Bitcoin mining operations in Malaysia, which they say have stolen around $1.1 billion in electricity over the last five years.

Is The Y Chromosome Vanishing? A New Sex Gene May Be The Future of Men

In 2002, evolutionary biologist Jenny Graves shared a controversial calculation.

In 2002, evolutionary biologist Jenny Graves shared a controversial calculation. The human Y chromosome, she wrote two years later in a commentary, "is running out of time." The male-determining sex chromosome has lost 97 percent of its ancestral genes in the last 300 million years. If that rate continues, Graves calculated, it could vanish in several million more

Living organisms usually read the DNA code in a very strict and predictable way. Every codon, which is a set of three nucleotides in a gene, corresponds to one specific amino acid that becomes part of a growing protein. Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have now discovered that one type of microorganism can tolerate uncertainty in this process. Their work challenges a long-held belief that the genetic code must always be interpreted with complete precision.

What if general relativity never actually tells us that black holes already exist, but only that their formation is inevitable in an infinite future we can never observe? In a new theory, Daryl Janzen, a physicist at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, questions whether we’ve mistaken mathematical inevitability for physical reality, and shows how much of our black hole story rests on that quiet leap.
