[:eu]They Were Shorter and at Risk for Arthritis, but They Survived an Ice Age[:]

[:eu]As early humans migrated into colder northern climates, a genetic mutation that knocks about a centimeter off height and increases the risk of osteoarthritis by up to 80 percent may have helped some of them survive the most recent ice age.[:]

[:eu]Nuevas evidencias de la transición al blanco de los agujeros negros[:]

[:eu]Objetos astrofísicos identificados como agujeros negros podrían ser, en realidad, estrellas de gran densidad. Su formación sería el resultado final de múltiples transformaciones disipativas de agujeros negros en su inverso temporal, agujeros blancos, que en un corto plazo de tiempo se descoloran y dejan escapar la luz en lugar de impedir su salida, según una…

[:eu]LHC pops out a new particle that could test the strong force[:]

[:eu]There’s a new particle in town, and it’s a double-charmingly heavy beast. Researchers working on the LHCb experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider have announced the discovery of the esoterically named Xicc++ particle. The find could help us probe our understanding of one of the four fundamental forces that govern the universe.[:]
