Summary

Scientists may have pinpointed why Alzheimer's disease destroys sleep—and the surprising culprit could be the key to reversing it. A new quantum material is defying the rules of physics by doing something unprecedented at room temperature, bringing us closer to real-world quantum technology. Researchers have also found a way to convert mixed plastic waste directly into clean hydrogen fuel, potentially solving two global crises at once. Long COVID sufferers finally have physical evidence explaining persistent brain fog and fatigue, pointing toward possible new treatments. And Stanford scientists, aided by AI, have identified a naturally occurring molecule that mimics Ozempic's weight-loss effects—with far fewer side effects.
