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.
While conducting research at Cambridge University, James Chadwick worked with Ernest Rutherford. Rutherford engrained his name in history when he discovered the proton. With more research, he â as well as other researchers â determined that it was not the only particle that made up the nucleus. Rutherford hired Chadwick in 1921, where he focused his research on radioactivity.
