Neutron Stars Challenge Current Models, Cooling Faster Than Expected(Note: The title is concise and directly summarizes the content of the article.)

by

Recent observations by ESA’s XMM-Newton and NASA’s Chandra have revealed three unusually cold, young neutron stars. This finding challenges current models, showing they cool much faster than expected. The discovery has significant implications, suggesting that only a few proposed neutron star models are viable, and pointing to a potential breakthrough in linking the theories of … Read more

Magic mushrooms temporarily ‘dissolve’ brain network responsible for sense of self

Magic mushrooms temporarily “dissolve” brain network responsible for sense of self Psilocybin reduces synchronicity within brain network responsible for reflection and sense of self. The active ingredient in magic mushrooms, psilocybin, disrupts the brain’s default mode network, which is responsible for our sense of self. This study found that the effects of psilocybin persisted even … Read more
