Astronomers Uncover Accretion Secrets of FU Orionis with Groundbreaking ALMA Observations, Transforming Understanding of Star and Planet Formation Processes

by

Astronomers in Santiago, Chile have made a groundbreaking discovery about a peculiar group of stars in the Orion constellation. Among them, FU Orionis, a double star system, has astounded experts since 1936 with its unexpected behavior. The central star of FU Orionis unpredictably brightened by 1,000 times, a phenomenon typically associated with dying stars, not young ones like FU Orionis. This unique trait gave rise to the classification of stars known as FUor stars, which …

Zombie Neurons Uncovered in Groundbreaking Study: Shedding Light on Brain Learning Processes

by

LISBON, PORTUGAL – Scientists in Lisbon, Portugal, have made a fascinating discovery while studying learning processes in mice. They have stumbled upon “zombie neurons” in the brain, which are cells that exhibit abnormal behavior despite being functionally alive. This accidental find sheds new light on how the brain learns. The researchers from Portugal were investigating how the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for processing sensory information related to motor movements, learns from the …
