Zoo experiments detect dozens of animals from airborne DNA

Animals are constantly shedding DNA into their environment, traces of which can then be detected in soil and water – and now, perhaps even air. Two new studies collected air samples from zoos and were able to identify a range of animals living in and a… Continue reading Zoo experiments detect dozens of animals from airborne DNA

CERN experiments investigate whether antimatter falls up or down

Physicists at CERN have discovered that antimatter falls down. Sure, it sounds like an obvious thing, but scientists haven’t yet been able to confirm that it responds to gravity in exactly the same way as regular matter does. A new experiment provides … Continue reading CERN experiments investigate whether antimatter falls up or down
