Immune Attack on Smell Pathways May Signal Early Alzheimer’s
A fading sense of smell may be one of the earliest warning signs of Alzheimer’s disease, and new research reveals why. Scientists found that microglia, immune cells in the brain, mistakenly remove nerve fibers connecting the locus coeruleus and olfactory bulb—two regions essential for processing odors.
Eight New Genes Linked to Schizophrenia Revealed
The largest exome-sequencing study of schizophrenia to date has uncovered eight new genes tied to the disorder. Two genes, STAG1 and ZNF136, were strongly implicated, while six others showed moderate associations.
Having Past-Life Memories Linked To Striking Rates Of Mental Health Struggles
Having past-life memories was linked to an alarmingly high levels of psychiatric symptoms in a new Brazilian study.
The post Having Past-Life Memories Linked To Striking Rates Of Mental Health Struggles appeared first on Study Finds.
Scientists Create New Magnetic State: The Magneto-Ionic Vortex (“Vortion”)
By controlling this state, researchers can enable the development of smarter, reconfigurable, and energy-efficient devices that function like the brain. Researchers at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have successfully created a new form of magnetic state known as a magneto-ionic vortex, or “vortion.” Their findings, published in Nature Communications, demonstrate an unprecedented ability to […]
Lost Particle Resurfaces As the Key to Universal Quantum Computing
A discarded mathematical oddity has become the key to unlocking universal quantum computing. By combining Ising anyons with a newly recognized particle, the neglecton, researchers showed that complex computations could be done with braiding alone. This breakthrough could make once-impossible quantum operations a reality. Fragile Qubits and the Quantum Challenge Quantum computers could one day […]
What Is the Electric Constant and Why Should You Care?
The force between electrical charges is kind of a big deal—without it, the universe would be a primordial soup and you would not exist. That force is determined by the electric constant.
