Jon Nelson, a marketing professional and father of three, has been living with treatment-resistant depression for years. Despite trying various treatments, he was on the verge of giving up until he opted for an experimental deep brain stimulation procedure. The surgery involved implanting electrodes in his brain to electrically stimulate the brain and change the…

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery of a fast radio burst (FRB) originating from an old, dead galaxy, challenging the current understanding of these enigmatic events. The finding suggests that there may be multiple ways to produce FRBs, which could have significant implications for our understanding of the universe. The discovery was made using the…
Physicists at Brown University have made a groundbreaking discovery in condensed-matter research, unveiling a new class of quasiparticles known as fractional excitons. These particles, which defy traditional classification as bosons or fermions, have the potential to revolutionize quantum computing and sensing technologies. The researchers created the fractional excitons using a bilayer structure of graphene and…

Researchers at the National University of Singapore, the University of Kyoto, and the University of California, Berkeley, have made a groundbreaking discovery in graphene research. They have successfully created a new graphene nanostructure, known as an asymmetric or “Janus” graphene nanoribbon, which exhibits ferromagnetic properties. This breakthrough could lead to the development of carbon-based spin…
A recent study published in PLOS Biology has revealed that over 8,000 of the world’s most-cited scientists have at least one retraction in their work. The study, led by John Ioannidis, found that retractions are more common among scientists with higher co-authorship numbers and those who publish a large number of papers. The study also…
Researchers at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland have made a groundbreaking discovery about the way maggots perceive food. Using genetic tools, they found that certain neurons in the brain control food choice and can sense both taste and texture. This multimodal capacity challenges the conventional view of taste sensing, which holds that specific neurons…
