A face built from 315,000-year-old bones. It would not stand out in today's crowd. But compare the fossil's ancient braincase to the modern-looking face, and something doesn't add up. 🔗 sciencealert.com/scientists-…

No external clock. Thirty vibrations per second spontaneously fell into one synchronized wave across an entire structure. The asymmetry that drove the self-organization was built right into each unit. 🔗 sciencealert.com/a-strange-n…

One night of sleep. One ECG lead. AI trained on 16,000 patients found heart failure risk up to 133 percent higher in those whose hearts showed subtle shifts during the lightest sleep stage. 🔗 sciencealert.com/the-way-you…

One in four depressed people feel like they're perpetually jet-lagged. It's a distinct brain subtype — and standard antidepressants often don't work for it. What does is something most doctors haven't considered. 🔗 sciencealert.com/researchers…

Squeezable leg cuffs, timed to your heartbeat. Seventy-eight percent of early Alzheimer's patients improved after six months. The reason may come down to blood flow — and how little the brain gets. 🔗 sciencealert.com/this-heart-…

Eighty years in an Austrian library. Physicists just found a three-page Schrödinger manuscript he never published — and it reveals his true position on quantum reality was not what most people believed. 🔗 sciencealert.com/a-lost-schr…

Your cat's calm may be yours, too. Owners with higher oxytocin tended to have cats with higher oxytocin — and less anxiety. How petting plays into this link is still unclear. 🔗 sciencealert.com/cats-and-th…

One in nine heavy ultraprocessed food eaters showed silent brain vascular injury on MRI. No symptoms. But the association nearly vanishes with one small change to how the diet is measured. 🔗 sciencealert.com/eating-more…

Water clings to a hotspot on tau proteins. When it's released, they lock into disease-spreading fibrils. Covering the hotspot stopped the process. That makes it a potential drug target for Alzheimer's. 🔗 sciencealert.com/water-may-b…
