Citizen scientists just discovered the most powerful ‘odd radio circle’ twins in space we’ve ever seen

Citizen scientists just discovered the most powerful ‘odd radio circle’ twins in space we’ve ever seen

Citizen scientists have found several new “odd radio circles<” or ORCs, in distant, enormous galaxy clusters — and through their discoveries, scientists are learning more about how these huge ring-like structures form. ORCs were first identified only six years ago, in 2019, by Anna Kapinska of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory while perusing observations made by the Australian Square Kilometre …

Inflammatory Brain Cells Driving Progressive MS Discovered

Inflammatory Brain Cells Driving Progressive MS Discovered

Summary: Researchers have identified a rare type of brain cell that may drive the chronic inflammation and neurodegeneration seen in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). These cells, called disease-associated radial glia-like (DARG) cells, appear six times more often in patients with progressive MS than in healthy individuals. DARGs revert to an early developmental state yet also show premature aging, releasing inflammatory …

Science news this week: Astronomers close in on comet 3I/ATLAS’s origins, a strange gravity anomaly discovered off Africa and AI designs brand-new viruses

This week’s science news was bursting with mind-blowing astronomical observations, led by new discoveries about the origins of the comet 3I/ATLAS. The comet, an interstellar interloper from far beyond our solar system, was first spotted in late June. Now, scientists are finally closing in on its age and where it came from. They discovered it likely originated in the far …

Brain area linked to chronic pain discovered — offering hope for treatments

Neurons (pictured) in a brain region called the parabrachial nucleus have been implicated in creating the sensation of pain that persists long after an initial injury.Credit: Mike Agliolo/Science Photo Library Scientists have spotted a small set of easily overlooked brain cells that is activated during persistent pain — the kind that lasts long after an initial injury. The research was …
