Dive into our latest feature that unveils the seamless melding of the human mind with sophisticated technology. Witness how brain-machine interfaces are setting the stage for a revolution in how we interact with the digital world.

Researchers have made significant advancements in understanding atomic-scale heat motion in materials, crucial for developing solid-state cooling technology.

This technology, which operates without traditional refrigerants or moving parts, uses materials like nickel-cobalt-manganese-indium magnetic shape-memory alloys to exploit the magnetocaloric effect for efficient cooling.

A crucial knowledge gap in atomic-scale heat motion was recently bridged by a research team led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This new understanding holds promise for enhancing materials to advance an emerging technology called solid-state cooling.

Some of the questions touch on x-risks and EA. Enjoy. http://faroutinitoative.com

From the many worlds interpretation to panpsychism, theories of reality often sound absurd. Here’s how you can figure out which ones to take seriously.

Renowned researchers David Chalmers and Anil Seth join Brian Greene to explore how far science and philosophy have gone toward explaining the greatest of all mysteries, consciousness–and whether artificially intelligent systems may one day possess it.

This program is part of the Big Ideas series, supported by the John Templeton Foundation.

In a global first, scientists working in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone in the North Pacific Ocean have found that metallic nodules on the seafloor produce their own oxygen, dubbed “dark oxygen.”

Identical twin sisters were raised in different countries after being separated at age two. When reunited as adults, scientists studied them.
