A Nearby Supernova May End Dark Matter Search, Claims New Study
A supernova within the Milky Way could revolutionise dark matter research by producing gamma rays from axions, elusive particles theorised to exist during a star's core collapse. Scientists at UC Berkeley are calling for gamma-ray telescopes to monitor the sky, ensuring readiness for the next nearby supernova. Such an event could confirm the axion'...

New Global Policies to Cut Plastic Waste and Reduce Carbon Emissions by 2050
A study from UC Santa Barbara and Berkeley suggests four key policies that could reduce global plastic waste mismanagement by 91 percent and cut related emissions by 30 percent by 2050. The policies include a mandate for 40 percent recycled plastic in new products, a cap on plastic production, greater investment in waste management, and a fee on pl...

Scientists Move Closer to Synthesising Element 120, Marking Potential New Era in Periodic Table
Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California are exploring new techniques for creating superheavy elements, focusing on the potential synthesis of “element 120,” also called unbinilium. If successful, this addition could lead to an eighth row on the periodic table. Using ion bombardment, researchers demonstrated a process t...

Innovative mRNA Delivery Technique Could Correct Genetic Disorders Before Birth
A recent study from UC Davis and UC Berkeley has unveiled a groundbreaking mRNA delivery method capable of editing genes in fetal brain cells. By administering mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, researchers successfully targeted genetic disorders such as Angelman syndrome before birth. This approach, which minimizes risks of inflammation, of...

Scientists Take Major Step Toward Creating Heaviest Element Ever
At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, scientists have achieved a significant milestone by creating livermorium with a novel titanium-based method. This success is seen as a precursor to synthesizing unbinilium, the heaviest element. The research highlights the importance of advancing techniques in element synthesis to explore new frontiers in a...

BlockFi Files for Bankruptcy in the US, Cites Exposure to FTX Amid Crypto Meltdown
BlockFi on Monday filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the US, as the crypto lender said it was exposed to FTX's collapse earlier this month. The lender also sued a holding company for former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, seeking to recover shares in Robinhood. Debtors do not face the myriad issues apparently facing FTX, despite exposure to t...
