🔬 A Dying Star Shaped Like a Brain, a Cancer Breakthrough Turning Heads & a Particle That Wasn't Supposed to Exist

from 🎙️ Science News Daily | Peer Review'd · host Peer Review'd

NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has captured a haunting nebula resembling a human brain, while astronomers have confirmed the first-ever direct observation of a magnetar being born — validating 16 years of theory in a single detection. In cancer research, a redesigned immune-activating antibody delivered directly into tumors triggered responses far beyond the injection site, with two patients achieving complete remission. New findings in neuroscience are reshaping our understanding of depression, ADHD, and the gut-brain connection in ALS. From a newly discovered double-charmed particle at CERN to fanged frogs hiding a secret identity since 1838, this episode is packed with discoveries that are rewriting what we thought we knew.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
