Before the Heart Stops: The Overlooked Clues That Could Prevent Sudden Death in the Young
by European Society of Cardiology on April 4, 2025 at 11:45 am
Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) is a stealthy killer of young people, but new research has revealed potential warning signs that often go unrecognized. By analyzing over 900 cases of sudden cardiac death in Sweden, scientists identified patterns like fainting spells, seizures, and abnormal heart rhythms that appeared before death. With better screening, especially among […]

Watch Antimatter Fall: Scientists Capture Gravity’s Pull With a 3840MP Camera
by Technical University of Munich (TUM) on April 4, 2025 at 10:56 am
CERN scientists have built a 3840 MPixel detector using mobile camera sensors to track antihydrogen’s fall in gravity. This could revolutionize antimatter experiments with real-time, ultra-high precision imaging. Using a beam of antihydrogen and a groundbreaking detector made from modified mobile phone camera sensors, the AEgIS experiment captures minuscule displacements with unprecedented resolution. This cutting-edge […]
