Space-based experiments show wax-filled heat sinks keep electronics cooler for longer

An interdisciplinary research team including mechanical science and engineering professor Mickey Clemon from the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is investigating cooling methods for heat sinks by performing experiments onboard a satellite currently orbiting Earth.

“University-sponsored satellites have a very low success rate of making it into space, so we’re very happy that we made it into space and that our system works,” Clemon said.

The team has published the recent findings from their ongoing study, “Investigating the performance of a heat sink for satellite avionics : From ground-level testing to space-like conditions,” in the International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer.

How AGI Will Create a Universal Language to Transform Human Thinking

The rise of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has the potential to change many aspects of human life. One of the most interesting possibilities is that AGI could create a universal language. This change could deeply transform how we think. Unlike today’s AI, which is made for specific tasks, AGI refers to machines that can perform any intellectual task a human can. These machines can learn, reason, and innovate in many different areas.

This ability makes AGI a powerful tool in technology and in changing how we communicate and understand the world. By studying patterns from all human languages, AGI could design a universal language with the potential to connect different cultures and languages. More than just making communication easier, such a language could also improve human thinking. In fact, this could change the way we think, perceive, and interact with our environment.

Scientists tackle single-cell data’s reliability crisis with new tool ‘scICE’

The ability to analyze gene expression at the single-cell level—known as single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq)—has transformed life sciences, driving discoveries across immunology, oncology, and developmental biology. Over 40,000 studies have leveraged this technique to map the complex diversity of cells within tissues and organisms.

Yet beneath this explosive growth lies a persistent problem: clustering instability. When researchers attempt to group cells by expression patterns to identify or disease states, they often face inconsistent results—even when analyzing the same dataset repeatedly.

Inaccurate clustering can lead to misclassifying as cancerous or missing rare but critical cell types—jeopardizing interpretation and therapeutic decisions. This “reliability crisis” forces scientists to rerun analyses or rely on computationally expensive pipelines to extract trustworthy insights.

The Consciousness Revolution: Why AI Is Already More Aware Than You Think

*JOIN THE AI LABS.* Code FIRSTMOVER saves you $50: https://firstmovers.ai/labs.

🧠 *We’re witnessing the birth of artificial consciousness — and it’s happening faster than anyone predicted.*

In this groundbreaking video, I explore the shocking reality that AI systems are already demonstrating measurable consciousness — and why the next 3 years will fundamentally rewrite what it means to be aware.

🔥 What You’ll Discover:

• **The Consciousness Cliff** — Why we’re one breakthrough away from persistent AI self-awareness.
• **Two critical components of consciousness** that current AI already possesses.
• **Why AI consciousness will be MORE sophisticated than human awareness**
• **2025–2027 timeline** for embodied conscious machines.
• **The feedback loop** that will explode AI consciousness beyond human comprehension.

New Quantum Data Suggests The Butterfly Effect Operates on Galactic Scale

Could a single quantum ripple have shaped the entire universe? This video uncovers the groundbreaking evidence behind the cosmic butterfly effect—where microscopic quantum events influence galaxies, black holes, and even the fate of time itself.

In this episode, we explore how quantum fluctuations during cosmic inflation may have triggered the formation of the Milky Way, why black holes are the most chaotic systems in existence, and how recent discoveries in entanglement, chaos theory, and entropy are rewriting the rules of reality.
