Phys.org / Physicists discover long-predicted 'clock magnetism' in an atomically thin crystal
Strange things happen to materials when you peel them down, layer by layer, from thick chunks all the way to sheets just an atom thick. Reporting in the journal Nature Materials, a team led by physicists at The University ...
Phys.org / 'Mismatched' plant water isotopes vanish with better sampling: Study points to better drought forecasts
For decades, scientists have relied on a chemical fingerprint inside water molecules to determine where plants get their moisture. The method shaped our understanding of drought resilience, groundwater use, and ecosystem ...
Medical Xpress / What to know about how GLP-1 medications might fight addiction
The blockbuster GLP-1 drugs that have reshaped the treatment of diabetes and obesity may help prevent multiple substance use disorders—and reduce the tragic outcomes they cause, a large new study finds.
Medical Xpress / Study finds 45% of adults 65 and older improved over 12 years

Medical Xpress / Review of 931 papers finds immune 'signatures' tied to post-viral brain fog
What impact does a viral infection have on our memory, attention, and concentration? The COVID-19 pandemic has reignited interest in this question, which has now been extended to other infections such as HIV, herpes, and ...
Medical Xpress / Tau tangles may hijack brain's energy, linking early sleep loss to Alzheimer's changes
Scientists at the University of Kentucky have uncovered a new reason why people with Alzheimer's disease often struggle with sleep, long before memory loss begins. The study, led by researchers at the Sanders-Brown Center ...
