Early signs in young children predict type 1 diabetes

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. New research shows that it is possible to predict the development of type 1 diabetes. By measuring the presence of autoantibodies in the blood, it is possible to detect whether the immune system has begun to break down the body’s own insulin cells. “In the TEDDY study we have found that autoantibodies often appear dur

The unbelievable speed of electron emission from an atom

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In a unique experiment, researchers have clocked how long it takes for an electron to be emitted from an atom. The result is 0.000 000 000 000 000 02 seconds, or 20 billionths of a billionth of a second. The researchers’ stopwatch consists of extremely short laser pulses. Hopefully, the results will help to provide ne
