Popular Sleeping Pill May Block the Brain’s Essential Cleaning Cycle

Healthcare, Medicine /

During sleep, the brain performs a “wash and rinse” routine to clear out harmful proteins associated with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. However, new research has revealed that a widely used sleep aid might interfere with this critical process. In 2012, neuroscientist Maiken Nedergaard from the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC) identified a unique system […]

Astronomers Find Unusual Slow-Spinning Radio Source That ‘Shouldn’t Exist’

Astronomy, Astrophysics, Planetary Science /

At the end of their lifecycles, some of the largest stars explode in massive supernovas, leaving behind dense cores called neutron stars. These remnants can emit strong radio waves from their magnetic poles. As these stars rotate, their radio beams sweep across Earth, creating periodic pulses much like a cosmic lighthouse. These stars are known
