Results from all four major Large Hadron Collider collaborations point to quark-gluon plasma forming in oxygen and neon collisions, challenging the view that the state requires collisions between very heavy nuclei.

A two-week treatment with cinaciguat restored key functions in aging liver cells in rats, lowering blood amyloid beta by about half and bringing LDL cholesterol to levels seen in younger animals. Researchers say the findings are preliminary and have not been shown to prevent Alzheimer’s disease in people.
