Concluding a hunt that began almost 50 years ago, particle physicists from CERN and the US have detected an elusive and weird phenomenon called the ‘odderon’. It was formed by firing protons at each other at high energies in the Large Hadron Collider, the 17-mile-long particle accelerator circling under the French-Swiss border. This effort built on … Read more
An electronic ‘nose’ that sniffs out chemicals in breath may help spot early signs of oesophageal cancer, which can be linked to acid reflux. The breathalyser-type device uses sensors to identify patterns of compounds found in breath that are unique to Barrett’s oesophagus, a ‘pre’ condition to the cancer. Improving diagnosis of oesophageal (or gullet) … Read more
