Brain clearance is reduced during sleep and anesthesia - Nature Neuroscience
It has been widely believed that a key function of sleep is to actively clear metabolites and toxins from the brain. Miao, Luo et al. show in mice that brain clearance is markedly reduced—not increased—during sleep and anesthesia.

Study finds that we could lose science if publishers go bankrupt
Back when scientific publications came in paper form, libraries played a key role in ensuring that knowledge didn't disappear. Copies went out to so many libraries that any failure—a publisher going bankrupt, a library getting closed—wouldn't put us at risk of losing information.
But, as with anything else, scientific content has gone digital, which has changed what's involved with preservation.

Scale-free identity: The emergence of social network science
Social Network Analysis is a way of studying agents embedded in contexts. In about 1998, physicists discovered social networks as representations of complex systems. Small-world and scale-free networks are the paradigmatic models of this Network Science. Relying on various models and mechanisms of socio-cultural processes, an identity model is developed and calibrated in a case study of Social Network Science. This research domain results from the union of Social Network Analysis and Network Sc…
