🔬 Fossils Rewrite Animal History & Quantum Computers Now Fit in Your Palm

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

Scientists have just unearthed the oldest known fossils of humans' closest invertebrate relatives, pushing back the origins of complex animal life further than anyone thought possible. A sweeping new study of over 17,000 brain scans reveals that Alzheimer's disease biology may vary across ethnic populations, raising urgent questions about whether new amyloid-targeting drugs will work equally for everyone. Younger generations are now biologically aging faster than their predecessors, and researchers believe this may be directly linked to the alarming rise in cancer diagnoses among people in their thirties and forties. Physicists have discovered quantum particles with lifespans 100 times longer than previously recorded, bringing palm-sized quantum computers closer to reality than ever before. Plus: a newly identified brain protein could open a fresh door to treating autism, and a flexible AI skin patch is making real-time heart monitoring possible without ever connecting to the cloud.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
