🔬 Einstein Was Wrong? Plus: The Alzheimer's Reversal, an 83% Death Risk Nobody's Talking About & More

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

Scientists at TU Wien are challenging Einstein's theory of relativity with a new quantum equation suggesting particles deviate from the paths he predicted — a potential breakthrough in reconciling quantum mechanics and general relativity. Meanwhile, a team including undergraduates captured real-time footage of Alzheimer's-linked protein clump formation and found a way to reverse it using metal ions. A sobering 12-year study reveals that sarcopenic obesity — the deadly combo of low muscle and high fat — raises mortality risk by 83%, and it can be caught with simple clinical tools. Researchers are also making real strides toward a universal nasal spray vaccine that could protect against COVID, flu, and pneumonia all at once. And NASA's DART asteroid mission just revealed something nobody expected: a cosmic snowball fight between two space rocks.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
