Scientists exploring the brain’s “blue place” discovered the longest neuron ever measured in a mouse and uncovered new clues about how the brain learns. When mice in a decision-making experiment switched their choices after a negative outcome, neurons near the top of a tiny brainstem region became active. Just before the mice ignored cues that […]

Scientists Discover a New Cousin of Diamond That Was Thought To Exist Only in Theory
Diamond and graphite have a new carbon cousin called diamondiyne, with a crystal structure confirmed so far only in microscopic patches. A carbon structure proposed 35 years ago has finally taken shape in a thin film where two liquids meet. Using relatively inexpensive equipment, researchers at the University of Gothenburg have created diamondiyne for the […]
A Missing Molecule May Explain Why Muscles Weaken With Age
Restoring just part of a depleted mitochondrial fat began reversing muscle wasting in mice, suggesting a possible route toward treating age-related muscle decline. As muscles weaken with age, they shift toward fibers built for endurance rather than quick, powerful bursts of movement. These slow-twitch fibers contain more mitochondria, the structures that supply cells with energy, […]
