New finding of particle physics may help to explain the absence of antimatter

With the help of computer simulations, particle physics researchers may be able to explain why there is more matter than antimatter in the Universe. The simulations offer a new way of examining conditions after the Big Bang, and could provide answers to some fundamental questions in particle physics. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181113110408.htm

Rare fossil bird deepens mystery of avian extinctions

Today's birds descend from a small number of bird species living before the dinosaur extinction. Some of the birds that went extinct, the enantiornithines, were actually more common than and out-competed modern bird ancestors.

Why, then, did enantiornithines die out and modern birds flourish? from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181113080908.htm
