Scientists have long speculated that the ancient Egyptians used metal from meteorites to make iron objects. Now an analysis of a dagger found in Tutankhamun’s tomb has given us strong evidence that this was the case – and that the Egyptians knew the iron…
Why did Tutankhamun have a dagger made from a meteorite?
Research has confirmed a knife found in the ancient Egyptian pharaoh’s tomb was made with metal from the heavens.
NASA Will Announce A Major Mars Discovery On Monday
NASA is preparing to reveal a “major science finding” regarding Mars on Monday, with the agency planning a special news conference to announce the findings. The event will take place at 11.30 a.m. EDT (4.30 p.m. BST) on Monday, and you will be able to watch it live on NASA TV, which we have handily embedded below. Reporters will be onsite and asking questions by phone, while the public can get involved via #AskNASA.
Well if that doesn’t throw things for a loop. Interesting. Thanks to my amazing wife Angel for bringing this to my attention.
Subatomic particles that appear to defy Standard Model points to undiscovered forces
Subatomic particles have been found that appear to defy the Standard Model of particle physics. The team working at Cern’s Large Hadron Collider have found evidence of leptons decaying at different rates, which could possibly point to some undiscovered forces. Publishing their findings in the journal Physical Review Letters, the team from the University of Maryland had been searching for conditions and behaviours that do not fit with the Standard…

Send Your Name to Mars on NASA's Next Red Planet Mission
Mars enthusiasts around the world can participate in NASA’s journey to Mars by adding their names to a silicon microchip headed to the Red Planet aboard NASA's InSight Mars lander, scheduled to launch next year.
Very interesting read. Thanks to New Scientist for sharing

In the past three decades astronomers have seen dips in the radio signals from quasars and pulsars, seemingly caused by a dark object passing by.
The Higgs Boson truly does rock. The only thing cooler than metal and science is when they come together. Rock on Higgs.
And Now, The Higgs Boson Discovery Played As Heavy Metal Music
Particle physicist and musician Piotr Traczyk has taken data plots from the historic discovery of the Higgs boson and converted it into music that can be played by two guitars. Heavy metal guitars, to be more precise. The result is as nerdy as it is excellent.
Forget the Higgs. CERN’s celebrity particle smasher is searching for the root of reality
It’s the faster, stronger, better Large Hadron Collider
Still basking in the glory of the Higgs discovery, CERN’s celebrity particle smasher is aiming for even wilder particles – and the truth about supersymmetry
