Researchers have demonstrated that brain stimulation at a 40 Hz frequency can protect brain tissue from the harmful effects of chemotherapy drugs such as cisplatin and methotrexate. This treatment, involving light and sound exposure, not only protected brain tissue but also helped prevent memory loss and cognitive function decline in animal models. Remarkably, the positive effects of the 40 Hz frequency persisted for four months, emphasizing its potential in shielding patients from the toxic side effects of cancer treatments. Further clinical studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness in humans. For more detailed information, please visit https://news.mit.edu/2024/noninvasive-treatment-chemo-brain-0306
🚀 Exciting News from the Cosmos: XRISM Begins Its Scientific Journey! 🌌
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) has announced a major milestone in space exploration. The XRISM (X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission), a cutting-edge X-ray observatory, has successfully completed its initial operational phase and embarked on a three-year scientific observation program in the soft X-ray spectrum. This marks a significant step forward in our understanding of the universe, with the potential to extend the mission further, albeit with limitations for the spectrometer due to the depletion of its liquid helium coolant.
In an exhilarating update, XRISM has shared its first scientific data, capturing breathtaking imagery and spectra. Among the highlights is a snapshot of the remnants of SN 1006, a supernova 65 light-years in diameter, born from the thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf. Additionally, XRISM has provided insights into the Perseus galaxy cluster’s plasma spectrum. At its heart lies the active galaxy NGC 1275, harboring a supermassive black hole and merging with remnants of another galaxy.
Stay tuned with @science as XRISM continues to unravel the mysteries of the cosmos, offering unprecedented views and understanding of our universe! 🔭✨

SpaceX’s third test flight of Starship ended unexpectedly when it lost communication 48 minutes in, at 75 km altitude. Initially aiming for a descent into the Indian Ocean, the spacecraft likely disintegrated around 65 km. Despite the setback, the flight provided captivating visuals of atmospheric entry, showcasing plasma formation around the spacecraft. The incident offers valuable insights for future missions.

🌐 The Explosive Growth of AI-Powered Fraud: A Global Challenge
Recent data reveals a staggering increase in AI-powered fraud, particularly deepfake-specific fraud cases, which have surged dramatically from 2022 to 2023. The statistics from the Sumsub Identity Fraud Report 2023, showcased by Statista, underline a significant rise in such fraudulent activities across the globe.
Highlights from the report include:
- The United States noted 3,000 cases, leading in North America.
- Belgium experienced a 2,950% increase, the highest in Europe.
- The Philippines reported the largest jump in Asia with 4,500 cases.
- Brazil saw 828 cases, marking the situation in South America.
These numbers, derived from over 2 million cases of identity fraud attempts from 224 countries/territories, raise concerns over the growing sophistication of fraud techniques. The data underscores the urgent need for robust verification systems and awareness about digital identity safety.

Astounding Discovery in Deep Space: The James Webb Space Telescope Uncovers Frozen Alcohol Clouds
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have utilized the MIRI instrument aboard the James Webb Space Telescope to identify clusters of matter around the protostars IRAS 2A and IRAS 23385, revealing the presence of frozen ethyl alcohol and, potentially, acetic acid. This remarkable finding highlights the existence of key ingredients essential for the formation of potentially habitable worlds, even in areas where planets have yet to emerge. The James Webb’s ability to peer into the depths of space and uncover such fascinating phenomena continues to enrich our understanding of the universe’s complexity and the potential for life beyond Earth.

A breathtaking visual by Petr Horálek offers a vivid demonstration of a fascinating phenomenon: despite the Moon appearing vastly larger as it hovers near the horizon, its size remains constant - what we witness is merely an illusion. This exquisite piece showcases a series of frames merged into a single image, capturing the Moon’s near-vertical ascent. The unique trajectory is attributed to the photograph being taken almost directly on the Earth’s equator. This masterpiece not only unravels the mysteries of our celestial neighbor but also serves as a stunning reminder of the beauty that lies in the skies above us.

Check this out: Mars has some volcanoes so huge that its own moon looks tiny against them! 🌋🔭
Thanks to the high-resolution stereo camera onboard Mars Express, orbiting the Red Planet since 2003, we got some stunning shots. On October 19, 2023, Mars Express completed its 25,000th orbit around Mars, capturing breathtaking views of the region filled with gigantic volcanoes, sprawling canyons, and desolate valleys.
And guess what? Phobos, one of Mars’ two moons, also made it into the frame. But here’s the kicker - it looks smaller than any of the volcanoes! 🌌
Isn’t space just amazing? Keep looking up, folks!
