A new man-made crystal that can “breathe” oxygen may be a game changer for energy efficiency and the clean energy transition. The material is made from an oxide of strontium, iron, and cobalt, and when heated in a simple gas environment, the thin film crystal has been observed to release and then reabsorb oxygen, much like a human lung. Moreover, …

Notably, the research showed that apnea can manifest differently in REM sleep: “A lot of the memory consolidation and emotional regulation … happens during REM,” Mander explains. “If you’re waking up during REM because of a breathing event, you’re fragmenting that process.
