Scientists Found The Brain’s ‘Heartbeat’ — And It May Explain Why Some Age Faster
Two 60-year-olds might have brain scans that look identical in terms of structure. But the mechanical environment their brain cells are living in could be profoundly different. A new study explains why.

Can a Disconnected Brain Be Conscious?
A new study reveals that sleep-like slow-wave brain activity can persist for years in surgically disconnected brain hemispheres of awake epilepsy patients. Using EEG recordings, researchers found that the isolated cortex exhibits patterns similar to deep sleep, anesthesia, or vegetative states—suggesting absent or reduced awareness.
Scientists Create Early Human Embryos From Skin Cells And Sperm
Researchers have successfully created human embryos by inserting skin cell nuclei into donor eggs, then fertilizing them with sperm, a laboratory demonstration that shows what might be possible after substantial additional work to help people who cannot produce viable eggs.

Common Hospice Sedatives Linked To 41% Higher Death Risk In Dementia Patients
Nearly half of nursing home residents with dementia receive benzodiazepines during hospice care, and a new national study reveals these commonly prescribed sedatives are associated with a 41% increased risk of death within six months.

Scientists Discover a Giant, Unexplained Wave Rippling Through the Milky Way
The Milky Way ripples like a vast cosmic wave. Gaia’s precise measurements reveal a colossal motion sweeping through the galaxy’s disc, an echo of something mysterious in our galaxy’s ancient past. The Milky Way is anything but static. It rotates and it wobbles, and new observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia space telescope now […]
Physicists Found a Way to Solve Quantum Mysteries Without Supercomputers
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have advanced a powerful yet affordable quantum modeling method known as the truncated Wigner approximation. Their improved version can now solve complex, real-world quantum problems on ordinary laptops. The breakthrough could make high-level quantum simulations faster, cheaper, and widely accessible to scientists everywhere. Quantum Complexity in Reach Imagine peering […]
