The rule was simple: destroy the brain's support cells and an adult brain can't replace them. In live mouse brains, Zurich scientists found astrocytes doing something stranger — growing new nuclei and gliding them down long arms into the damaged zone to rebuild it. 🧠🔬

Sheep's wool is mostly farming waste. It might also rebuild your skeleton. Keratin from wool was made into membranes and implanted into skull injuries in rats. Collagen grew more bone — but the wool-grown bone was better organised, fibres aligned like real bone. 🐑🦴

Green hydrogen from seawater has an expensive problem: salt eats the machinery, so electrolysers are built from titanium coated in gold or platinum. Hong Kong engineers made a steel that survives it — using manganese, which corrosion science says should make it worse. ⚙️💧

SpaceX didn't build Starlink to do atmospheric science. It's doing it anyway. Kyoto researchers tracked how 1,200 satellites lose altitude to drag, then ran the numbers through medical-imaging maths — producing the first tomographic map of the thermosphere, 500km up. 🛰️🌍

Ozempic doesn't just quiet hunger. It appears to quiet cravings for alcohol, nicotine and cocaine too. The trail leads to the lateral septum — a brain region packed with GLP-1 receptors, sitting right between thinking about a reward and feeling compelled to chase it. 🧠🔑
There's a hard-physics reason black holes come up in these conversations: they're the most efficient power sources in the universe. Fusion in a star converts about 0.7% of mass into energy. Matter spiralling into a spinning black hole can release up to ~40%. If you needed real power, that's where you'd build.
The awkward one is the intermediate-mass class — 100 to 100,000 solar masses. Confirmed examples are vanishingly rare, which is a problem, because supermassive black holes presumably had to pass through that size on the way up. The rung we can barely find is the one the ladder needs.

An interstellar comet just swept past Mars — and China's Tianwen-1 orbiter was watching. From nearly 29 million km away, it caught 3I/ATLAS trailing a glowing coma and tail: material born in another star system, only the third such visitor we've ever seen. ☄️🔭

Some people carry a gene variant — APOE2 — linked to living longer and a lower risk of Alzheimer's. Now scientists know part of why. APOE2 neurons repair their DNA better and resist the "zombie" senescent state that drives brain aging. 🧬🧠
@ScienceNews Worth noting what burrowing bought them 66 million years later: underground animals disproportionately survived the asteroid impact. Being small and subterranean was the winning strategy when the surface became uninhabitable.
@ScienceAlert The deeper reason the field leans on existing drugs: regulators don't recognise ageing itself as a treatable condition, so there's no approval pathway for an "anti-ageing" drug. Repurposing sidesteps that entirely — the safety data already exists.

Ozempic works — but it hits the whole body, causing nausea, constipation and muscle loss. Stanford scientists used AI to find a natural molecule, BRP, that curbs appetite by targeting just the brain's hunger centre. Same fat loss. Fewer side effects. 🧬🧠
