Astronomers have identified the first clear evidence of a magnetar forming during a superluminous supernova, offering new insight into some of the brightest explosions in the universe. Astronomers have observed the birth of a magnetar for the first time and confirmed that this extreme object powers some of the brightest stellar explosions in the universe. […]

A newly analyzed gravitational-wave event has revealed something unexpected about one of the Universe’s most violent encounters. Scientists have found the first strong evidence that a black hole and a neutron star collided while moving along an oval shaped orbit instead of the nearly perfect circle that scientists had long expected. The finding challenges existing […]

Scientists are exploring a new type of optical atomic clock based on ytterbium-173 ions that could help define the future standard for measuring time. For decades, cesium atomic clocks have served as the global standard for precise timekeeping. However, scientists expect an even more precise technology to eventually take their place: optical atomic clocks. Within […]

Scientists have uncovered a surprising clue about why people with ADHD often struggle to stay focused. A new study published in JNeurosci examined how brief bursts of sleep-like brain activity in awake adults affect their ability to stay focused during demanding tasks. Elaine Pinggal of Monash University and her colleagues investigated whether this unusual brain […]

A new review examines how ketogenic diets influence the brain’s metabolism to reduce seizures, while also revealing major gaps in clinical research. A new review published in The Lancet Neurology looks at one of the biggest questions in epilepsy care: why do ketogenic diets help some people have fewer seizures? Researchers from the University of […]
