While aiming for viral success the genre seems to have forgotten that the horrifying can just be that, and not every mystery needs to be unraveled by the final act, ready to be easily dissected in another ​‘Ending Explained!’ YouTube video. Thankfully there are still some filmmakers…

Earth may respond to the huge quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) that humans are pumping into the atmosphere by “overcorrecting” the imbalance, which could result in the next ice age arriving on time instead of being delayed by tens of thousands of years, as had previously been predicted.This is due to a newfound “thermostat” that buries mountains of carbon beneath the seafloor so efficiently, it could do away with human carbon emissions within 100,000 years, researchers have discovered.That’s several times quicker than scientists assumed would happen with a previously described “lazy thermostat” that locks away carbon on timescales of 500,000…

The STAR detector at the Relativistic Heavy Ion ColliderBROOKHAVEN NATIONAL LABORATORY We are getting closer to understanding when the strong nuclear force loosens its grip on the most basic constituents of matter, letting quarks and gluons inside particles abruptly turn into a hot particle soup. There is a special combination of temperature and pressure at which all three phases of water – liquid, ice and vapour – exist simultaneously. For decades, researchers have been looking for a similar “critical point” for matter governed by the strong nuclear force, which binds quarks and gluons into protons and neutrons. Smashing ions in…
