A new stretchable, rechargeable sticker developed by researchers can detect authentic emotional states by measuring physiological signals like heart rate, skin temperature, and humidity, even when facial expressions are misleading.
Pure experiential properties are properties of experiencing subjects that are purely phenomenally constituted: to have such properties is exhausted by the way it is like to have them. A thinker who is acquainted with such properties by having them is in a position to form phenomenal concepts of such properties, concepts in terms of the way it is like to have them.
Certain phenomenal concepts of experiential properties are nature-revealing: the thinker having such concepts has full access to what it is to have the property the concept is used to attribute. This is the thesis of phenomenal essentialism, the starting point of an argument for dualism about experiential properties which will be developed in the talk. According to the dualist thesis at issue to have an experiential property does not consist in the fulfillment of any physical condition.
Full Title: The argument from understanding for property dualism about experiential properties.
Two tiny aluminum drumheads. A temperature colder than space. And a secret experiment that’s changing everything we thought we knew about reality. In this video, we reveal the mind-blowing story behind the Quantum Drum Experiment — where scientists pushed the limits of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and opened a portal to a new era of quantum measurement. With fog swirling in a cryogenic chamber, these drums don’t just make sound — they bend the rules of the universe.
Stick around till the end to see how this could impact your future.
Sir William Crookes predicted plasma in 1879. Today, it’s fueling revolutionary space engines and automotive systems shaping our clean, high-tech future.
Is it possible to build a Dyson sphere that isn’t catastrophically unstable? New research says yes, but only in one type of star system.
Light can tie knots—literally. Engineers at Duke University have managed to manipulate laser beams to form intricate 3D patterns called optical knots, using custom-designed optics.
These twisted beams could one day carry information or measure air turbulence, but researchers discovered that real-world conditions like turbulent air can distort them more than expected. To combat this, they modified the knot’s shape to make it more resilient, opening new paths for using light in surprising ways.
Light beams can tie knots too
CVE-2025–2492 flaw in ASUS AiCloud routers allows remote control; firmware fix issued for 4 versions.
Microsoft confirms that the weekend Entra account lockouts were caused by the invalidation of short-lived user refresh tokens that were mistakenly logged into internal systems.
On Saturday morning, numerous organizations reported that they began receiving Microsoft Entra alerts that accounts had leaked credentials, causing the accounts to be locked out automatically.
Impacted customers initially thought the account lockouts were tied to the rollout of a new enterprise application called “MACE Credential Revocation,” installed minutes before the alerts were issued.
A proposed protocol allows for the teleportation of collective spin-coherent states, as well as entangled spin-squeezed and Dicke states, between nuclear spin degrees of freedom in a two-dimensional trapped-ion crystal. Beyond teleportation, generalizations of the protocol could be used for retroactive squeezing generation and enhanced displacement sensing in a Penning trap, as well as in other systems featuring collective spin-spin interactions within synthetic dimensions or spatially separated arrays.
