The combined results of several studies have narrowed the potential range where a theoretical subset of particles known as sterile neutrinos could exist. The discovery of these fundamental particles could dramatically alter the Standard Model of particle physics.

Two biochemists have discovered a link between a protein called carbonic anhydrase and aging in the brains and muscle cells of mice. While still in the early stages of development, their research could lead to treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Much of the animal kingdom doesn't have the luxury--or the ability--to sustain themselves using the five senses alone. To combat this, a handful of animals have developed special organs and receptors 

The National Astronomical Observatories of China have partnered with Breakthrough Initiative to find alien life, bringing the largest radio telescope in the world with them — the 488 meter (1,600 foot) FAST telescope. The FAST observatory will seek out extraterrestrial life with the world's other largest radio telescopes, including the Green Bank Telescope in the U.S. and the Parkes Observatory in Australia.
