Particle Physics Prediction Confirmed: Maxwell's Demon Found Inside Cells

After 67 years, researchers have finally confirmed the existence of the elusive "demon" particle, a massless and neutral entity in solids, as predicted by physicist David Pines. Using a nonstandard experimental technique, a research team led by Peter Abbamonte at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign detected the demon particle in the metal strontium ruthenate. The demon particle's unique properties have made it difficult to detect, but this discovery underscores the value of innovative research approaches and opens up new possibilities for understanding the behaviors of multi-band metals.

UK sees first births using DNA from 3 people.

The UK's Human Fertilization and Embryology Authority has confirmed the birth of the country's first babies created using an experimental technique that combines DNA from three people. The technique is aimed at preventing children from inheriting rare genetic diseases. The genetic defects can result in diseases such as muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, heart problems and intellectual disabilities. The UK became the world's first country to adopt legislation specifically regulating methods to help prevent women with faulty mitochondria from passing defects on to their babies.
