My keynote on how dictatorships constitute the biggest threat to the progress of humanity on the planetary scale.

An overview of the possibilities of life on Mars and recent science that suggests that it may have gone extinct by its own doing.

An exploration of time scales and time passage and its relation to the Fermi Paradox as a straightforwards solution.

AS technology advances rapidly, we’re getting closer to cracking space mysteries that once baffled scientists.

Some experts think we could solve mysteries like dark matter in the next decade.

We’ve rounded up some of the biggest space mysteries that scientists are hoping to solve in our life times.

More than one-third of UK health experts are not aware of Charles Bonnet syndrome — CBS — a condition which can cause vivid, and sometimes frightening, hallucinations.

A poll of 1,100 health experts — including GPs, doctors and optometrists — found 37 per cent were not aware of CBS.

The condition is not caused by mental health problems or dementia. It is purely due to a loss of sight — 60 per cent or more — which reduces or stops the regular messages from the eye to the brain.

The human brain is a complex system exhibiting multi-scale spatiotemporal organization. In this talk, I will provide an overview of my lab’s work on large-scale functional network organization across different timescales. First, I will present a biophysically plausible model of second-level fluctuation in the brain’s functional connectivity patterns. I will then discuss how minute-level task-state changes can predict behavioral traits. This is followed by exploring how brain dynamics can vary over the course of a day. Finally, I will discuss our work on estimating individual-level network markers that are stable across weeks and months.

A new solar cell breakthrough, an energy vault comes to Northern California, and Bill Gates talks about the U.S. bringing the grid into the 21st century.

UCLA invents enhanced perovskite solar cells, PG&E partners with Energy Vault on a storage project, and Bill Gates talks about power lines.

They threatened to prosecute the founder.

Company founder, Joshua Browder, says DoNotPay is staying away from law for now, after he received a barrage of ‘threats’ from State Bar associations.

The first 5 minutes are well worth it.
