Phys.org / JWST finds a stellar bar in the early universe that breaks all rules
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a stellar bar in GN20, a massive galaxy seen just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang. The new paper was submitted to the preprint server arXiv on May ...
Medical Xpress / Real-time brain monitor detects infections earlier
A research team led by the University of Waterloo has created a new monitoring system to save lives and significantly reduce health-care costs in brain-injury cases through the early detection of infections in intensive care ...
Medical Xpress / Poor sleep in middle-aged women is associated with lower psychological well-being nearly a decade later
A new study to be presented at the SLEEP 2026 annual meeting found that sleep problems in middle-aged and older adults are tied to lower psychological well-being nine years later. The link was stronger in women than in men, ...
