Gamma GT is a liver enzyme which is raised in liver and bile duct diseases. It is used in conjunction with ALP to distinguish between bone or liver disease. Gamma GT is also used to diagnose alcohol abuse as it is raised in 75% of long term drinkers.
Physicists announced on July 4, 2012, that, with more than 99 percent certainty, they had found a new elementary particle weighing about 126 times the mass of the proton that was likely the long-sought Higgs boson. The Higgs is sometimes referred to as the God particle, to the chagrin of many scientists, who prefer its official name.
May, 1911: Rutherford and the Discovery of the Atomic Nucleus. In 1909, Ernest Rutherfordâs student reported some unexpected results from an experiment Rutherford had assigned him. Rutherford called this news the most incredible event of his life. In the now well-known experiment, alpha particles were observed to scatter backwards from a gold foil. Rutherfordâs explanation, which he published in May 1911, was that the scattering was caused by a hard, dense core at the center of the atomâthe nucleus. Ernest Rutherford was born in New Zealand, in 1871, one of 12 children.
