🔬 Your Coffee Is Protecting Your Brain, A 7-Hour Explosion Defies Physics, & The Universe's Origin Just Got Rewritten

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

A landmark study reveals that two to three cups of coffee daily may cut dementia risk by up to 35%, but there's a catch that most coffee drinkers won't see coming. Researchers have also mapped a newly discovered 'sleep switch' in the brain that links deep sleep to a powerful cascade of physical and cognitive benefits. In space, the James Webb Telescope captured a gamma-ray burst that lasted seven hours — obliterating current models of what these cosmic explosions even are. Meanwhile, scientists in South Korea have uncovered a surprising natural weapon against the microplastics accumulating inside your body, and it's already sitting on grocery store shelves. From a new type of friction that works without any physical contact to AI producing its first verified original proof in mathematics, today's episode is packed with discoveries that are rewriting the rules across nearly every field of science.Subscribe to Peer Review'd Newsletter: https://peerreviewd.com/Love Science?
