Can You Hear a Virus? Scientists Use Light To Listen to the Sounds of Life https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/can-you-hear-a-virus-scientists-use-light-to-listen-to-the-sounds-of-life https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/can-you-hear-a-virus-scientists-use-light-to-listen-to-the-sounds-of-life#respond Thu, 20 Feb 2025 21:13:54 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/can-you-hear-a-virus-scientists-use-light-to-listen-to-the-sounds-of-life

Elad Harel is used to shining a light on the mysteries of the natural world.

Working at the cutting edge of ultrafast spectroscopy—the use of short laser pulses to analyze molecular dynamics—the Michigan State University associate professor seeks to uncover how microscopic phenomena impact large complex systems.

One promising frontier Harel has been working on is the development of new methods of microscopy that will allow researchers to observe molecular and atomic landscapes in motion rather than through static imagery. Such work has earned Harel MSU’s 2023 Innovation of the Year award, as well as MSU’s first-ever grant from the W.M. Keck Foundation.

What would happen if a (small) black hole passed through your body? https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/what-would-happen-if-a-small-black-hole-passed-through-your-body https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/what-would-happen-if-a-small-black-hole-passed-through-your-body#respond Thu, 20 Feb 2025 21:13:23 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/what-would-happen-if-a-small-black-hole-passed-through-your-body

Imagine a supervillain attacking you with his unique superpower of creating small black holes. An invisible force zips through your body at unimaginable speed. You feel no push, no heat, yet, deep inside your body, atoms momentarily shift in response to the gravitational pull of something tiny yet immensely dense — a primordial black hole (PBH).

What would this do to you? Would it cause minor, localized damage, or would it simply rip through your entire body? Physicist Robert J. Scherrer from Vanderbilt University investigated this very scenario. His study examines what happens when a tiny black hole, like the ones formed in the early universe, passes through the human body.

The question is, of course, theoretical; but it does start from a realistic scenario. Unlike regular black holes that form when massive stars collapse, primordial black holes are thought to have emerged in the first fractions of a second after the Big Bang. While “regular” black holes typically weigh millions or billions of times more than the Sun, these PBHs could be incredibly small, with masses ranging from tiny asteroids to planets.

A Psychedelic Molecule Controls Your Consciousness at the Moment of Death, New Theory Suggests https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/a-psychedelic-molecule-controls-your-consciousness-at-the-moment-of-death-new-theory-suggests https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/a-psychedelic-molecule-controls-your-consciousness-at-the-moment-of-death-new-theory-suggests#respond Thu, 20 Feb 2025 17:08:06 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/a-psychedelic-molecule-controls-your-consciousness-at-the-moment-of-death-new-theory-suggests

Some researchers believe DMT, a powerful psychedelic that may naturally occur in the brain, could be your soul’s “ferryman.”

Your Next Pet Could Be a Glowing Rabbit https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/your-next-pet-could-be-a-glowing-rabbit https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/your-next-pet-could-be-a-glowing-rabbit#respond Thu, 20 Feb 2025 02:07:17 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/your-next-pet-could-be-a-glowing-rabbit

Humans have been selectively breeding cats and dogs for thousands of years to make more desirable pets. A new startup called the Los Angeles Project aims to speed up that process with genetic engineering to make glow-in-the-dark rabbits, hypoallergenic cats and dogs, and possibly, one day, actual unicorns.

The Los Angeles Project is the brainchild of biohacker Josie Zayner, who in 2017 publicly injected herself with the gene-editing tool Crispr during a conference in San Francisco and livestreamed it. “I want to help humans genetically modify themselves,” she said at the time. She’s also given herself a fecal transplant and a DIY Covid vaccine and is the founder and CEO of The Odin, a company that sells home genetic-engineering kits.

Now, Zayner wants to create the next generation of pets. “I think, as a human species, it’s kind of our moral prerogative to level up animals,” she says.

Spiritual Practices Share a Common Mental Pathway to Deep Bliss https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/spiritual-practices-share-a-common-mental-pathway-to-deep-bliss https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/spiritual-practices-share-a-common-mental-pathway-to-deep-bliss#respond Thu, 20 Feb 2025 02:07:00 +0000 https://lifeboat.com/blog/2025/02/spiritual-practices-share-a-common-mental-pathway-to-deep-bliss

Summary: Researchers found that Buddhist jhāna meditation and Christian speaking in tongues, despite their differences, share a common cognitive feedback loop. This process, called the Attention, Arousal, and Release Spiral, creates a cycle where focused attention leads to joy, making concentration effortless and deepening the experience.

The study gathered firsthand accounts from meditation retreats and worship services, analyzing the micro-moments of attention and emotional shifts. Preliminary brain activity findings suggest both practices involve a cognitive shift that enhances immersion.

Understanding this shared mechanism could help more people access profound states of focus and tranquility. The next phase of research will use brain imaging to explore the physiological changes behind this phenomenon.

“ tabindex=”0” accuracy and scale, brings scientists closer to understanding how neurons connect and communicate.

Mapping Thousands of Synaptic Connections

Harvard researchers have successfully mapped and cataloged over 70,000 synaptic connections from approximately 2,000 rat neurons. They achieved this using a silicon chip capable of detecting small but significant synaptic signals from a large number of neurons simultaneously.
