I find this shit fascinating, mind boggling and beautiful

“If a violation of lepton flavour universality were to be confirmed, it would require a new physical process, such as the existence of new fundamental particles or interactions,” says LHCb spokesperson Professor Chris Parkes
Looking towards the future, the LHCb experiment is well placed to clarify the potential existence of new physics effects hinted at in the decays presented today. The LHCb experiment is expected to start collecting new data next year following an upgrade to the detector.

‘Holy grail’ battery breakthrough sees scientists solve 40-year problem
Lithium-metal batteries hold far more energy and charge in a fraction of the time compared to those used in smartphones and electric carsResearchers have demonstrated a solution to a 40-year problem regarding the creation of a “holy grail” battery that could radically transform the electric car industry.
The breakthrough involves harnessing the power of lithium-metal batteries, which are capable of holding substantially more energy and charge in a fraction of the time compared to lithium-ion batteries that are currently used in everything from smartphones to Tesla vehicles.
Until now, scientists have been unable to create a lithium-metal battery stable enough to be used in commercial applications.
The development, made by a team at Harvard University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS), allows this next-generation batter to be charged and discharge at least 10,000 times, which would increase the lifetime of electric vehicles to that of of their gasoline counterparts – while simultaneously increasing their range and reducing their charge time.
“A lithium-metal battery is considered the holy grail for battery chemistry because of its high capacity and energy density,” said Xin Li, an associate professor at SEAS.
“But the stability of these batteries has always been poor... By studying their fundamental thermodynamics, we can unlock superior performance and harness their abundant opportunities.”
The research, published in the journal Nature on Wednesday, involves an innovative multi-layer approach to assemble the battery, which allows it to be self-healing and solve the issue of degradation.

- both parts of this are well worth a watch, was a bit sceptical after the first one myself...kingsteven
- A professor of physics, Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson all proven wrong...bunch of arrogant, know-it-all, attention whores.utopian
- The great thing is though that the scientist who made the bet admitted he was wrong and coughed up the $10K! Science is a process, not an authority.sarahfailin

- @sarah, exactly. And acting like three individuals are “science” is ridiculous. They aren’t even the ones actively sciencing!monospaced

New biotech startup founded by geneticist George Church will try to reverse engineer woolly mammoths from elephant embryos using CRISPR. Discuss...
- Spared no expense.palimpsest
- Like trying to reverse engineer a wolf from a poodlegrafician
- Well people have definitely shown that you can sort of get back to a wild dog (wolf like) through breeding. Can’t get to wolf exactly though, not how it works.monospaced
- With focused intent and some crispr I don’t see why this would be impossible.monospaced
- Elephants and mammoths seem closer than poodles and wolves from my perspective. Fascinating stuff.monospaced
- You can breed a poodle with a wolf and you already have half a wolf. They share 99.9% of DNA.palimpsest
- While mammoths and African elephants share a common ancestor dogs are direct descendants of wolves.
Up to each one to decide what's closer.palimpsest - I gave that example exactly because even with very similar DNA you can't do it.
But sure, let them try. We'll need mammoths for the next ice age anywaygrafician - The mammuthus and modern day elephant are both closely related, they are both from the same Elephantidae family.utopian
- I thought they had been doing this for like 60 years nowscarabin
- There are some projects ongoing to try to reverse engineer chickens into dinosaurs.
https://www.inverse.…yuekit - Obviously this is much harder than the mammoth but apparently they got as far as generating a dinosaur snout and feet on a chicken embryo.yuekit
- A graphic design forum, that's where i go for the truth about genetic engineering.jagara
- Yes. Glad to see we have genetic engineering experts here as well! Do your own research.inteliboy
