โ˜€๏ธ NASA moved its solar radio telescope mission to Falcon Heavy โ€” six satellites will listen for dangerous Sun storms

NASA announced its SunRISE mission will now fly on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy instead of a ULA Vulcan Centaur. The mission deploys six toaster-oven-sized SmallSats that will work together as one giant radio dish slightly above geosynchronous orbit (~22,000 miles up) to track radio bursts from the Sun's corona before solar particle storms reach Earth. Better space weather forecasting could protect satellites, astronauts, and even power grids on the ground. What would better solar storm warnings mean for our connected world?

๐Ÿง  Hidden Skeleton Inside Brain Cells Acts as an Alzheimer's Gatekeeper

Penn State researchers found a protein lattice just beneath neuron surfaces โ€” the membrane-associated periodic skeleton (MPS) โ€” that controls what brain cells absorb. When this structure weakens, neurons rapidly take in amyloid-beta proteins, the toxic fragment tied to Alzheimer's disease. The finding, published in Science Advances, suggests that stabilizing the MPS could become a new drug target to slow neurodegeneration. Could this hidden scaffold finally give Alzheimer's researchers the foothold they've been looking for?
