Promising new fusion research is revealing how plasma can spontaneously generate its magnetic field
Scientists have discovered a way to activate a built-in brain cleanup system that may help counter Alzheimer’s disease. By targeting astrocytes, a widely abundant but often overlooked cell type, the approach enhances the removal of harmful protein buildup and preserves cognitive function in mice. Credit: Shutterstock
