The Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) officially released the precise measurements of high-energy gamma radiation from the W51 complex, confirming it as a cosmic-ray accelerator boosting particles up to so-called ultra-high energies (UHE, above 1014 electronvolts). The results also provide key evidence about the cosmic-ray acceleration limit in this complex. The Large High Altitude…

Genetic disorders—like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease—are considered incurable, with gene mutations occurring in essentially every cell of the body. Gene mutations occur when one nucleotide in a codon is switched. In non-synonymous mutations, this disrupts the codon’s function to code for its amino acid. In synonymous mutations, the codon still codes the correct amino…
