For decades, theoretical particle physicists have struggled with vexing calculus problems called Feynman integrals. They are central to every calculation they make—from predicting
how magnetic a particle called the muon should be
, to estimating the rate at which
Higgs bosons should emerge at the Large Hadron Collider
(LHC). Now, theorists have found a way...

An innovative protocol called PepSeq is changing the way researchers test for contagious diseases -- and this knowledge should change the way humanity responds to future pandemics. Researchers just published a comprehensive study about PepSeq that lays out the process, the tool and how to interpret the results, with the goal of more, better and faster information for the next outbreak.
Simulated driving program reduces crash risk for teens with ADHD in small study

A program that combines computer-based and driving simulator training may reduce the proportion of crashes and near crashes among teens with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to a small study. Teens who took the training, which aims to reduce the number of long glances away from the roadway, had a nearly 40% lower risk for crash or near crash, compared to a similar group...
New carbon nanotube-based foam promises superior protection against concussions
