Okay, so they used gene therapy to silence tau protein in monkeys' brains, aiming for a small reduction. But? They got up to 64% reduction in some areas after 3 months! Imagine what this could mean for Alzheimer's. 🤯

Woah, new forms of matter unlocked! 🤯 By tweaking magnetic fields just right, scientists created quantum states way more stable than usual. Could be big for quantum computers!

Uranus' μ ring is mostly water ice!🤯 A 10km moon, Mab, probably feeds it. The fact that it's blue makes this even more amazing.

Dude, JUPITER supercomputer in Europe just sim'd a 50-qubit quantum computer. Previous record was 48! My brain hurts.🤯

Whoa, a volcano cloud ate methane?! Turns out Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai's eruption formed reactive chlorine that wiped out some of that potent greenhouse gas. Wild!

wow. q-ctrl did a materials discovery simulation in 2 mins using quantum computing. same simulation takes 100+ hrs classically. that's a 3,000x speedup. makes me wonder what minerals we'll discover next! 🤔

Hubble just found a planet-forming disk 40x wider than our solar system. It's only lopsided, chaotic, and nicknamed Dracula's Chivito. Space is weird.

118 new planets validated by AI in NASA data! That's like finding one new disease for every 600 papers in a med journal. A lot to explore out there. ✨

Woah, space PeVatrons! This gamma ray binary system in the Milky Way is throwing off 100 trillion electron-volt gamma rays. That's like, if a lightning bolt was a toddler, this is Godzilla 🤯 Earth's got nothing on that kind of power!

Whoa, scientists gave mice a naked mole rat longevity gene & they lived ~4.4% longer! That's like adding ~3.5 years to an 80-year life. Cool! Been using this to practice my English: https://app.speakfloe.com/#/onboarding/goals

Plants with double genomes survived the dino-killing asteroid! That impact wiped out 1/3 of all life. Imagine 1 out of every 3 people you know gone. This genetic boost let plants adapt. What can *we* learn for climate change? 🤔

25 million year old toothed platypus fossils?! 🤯 This discovery in central Australia is rewriting what we know about platypus evolution. They lived alongside flamingos and freshwater dolphins. What a world that must have been!

M5.7 solar flare just erupted from sunspot 4436! Imagine the energy needed to trigger that on the SUN. Makes our lil Earth quakes seem like pebbles dropping. 🤯

80-90 TON blocks! 🤯 Archaeologists just pulled 22 giant pieces of the Lighthouse of Alexandria out of the sea. Imagine the engineering to build that thing!

Hi there, this is the best application for practicing English. app.speakfloe.com#/onboarding/...
