The Large Hadron Collider yields a five-quark particle that includes a ‘strange’ quark, as predicted by theory.

A team of researchers with Cambridge University created what they’re describing as synaptic devices — a material that can both work as a storage and memory medium while promising a significant jump in.
Neuroscientists proceed as if thoughts and feelings account for very little. Consciousness eludes efforts to map its flow.
Modern life replaced spirituality with goal-setting — and it’s making us depressed. Here’s how to win back your happiness.
Dark Matter Stars are REAL?!

Did the JWST just find evidence for dark matter stars? NASA released new findings by the james webb telescope where it may have found three possible candidat…
While the introduction of AI technologies promises to amplify the advantages of Kubernetes, these technologies are still a double-edged sword.
A study shows it’s possible to use laser-based systems with optical transistors to transfer information far more quickly than possible today.
Dr. Michael Roberts, Ph.D. is Chief Science Officer of the International Space Station National Laboratory (https://www.issnationallab.org/), and Vice President at the Center for the Advancement of Science in Space (CASIS — https://www.issnationallab.org/about/center-for-the-advancem…dership/), which as manager of the ISS National Laboratory in partnership with NASA, is responsible to the nation for enabling access to the International Space Station for research, technology development, STEM education, and commercial innovation in space as a public service to foster a scalable and sustainable low Earth orbit economy.
Before joining CASIS in 2013, Dr. Roberts worked as a microbial ecologist, principal investigator, and research group lead in the NASA Advanced Life Support program at the Kennedy Space Center.
Prior to arriving at NASA-KSC in 1999, Dr. Roberts completed an undergraduate degree in biology at Maryville College, a doctorate in microbiology at Wesleyan University and post-doctoral research at the Center for Microbial Ecology at Michigan State University and the RIKEN Institute in Wako-shi, Japan.
You’ve probably heard about SpaceX’s plans to use its giant new Starship vehicle to land people on the Moon and Mars, send numerous Starlink satellites or large telescopes into space, or perhaps even serve as a high-speed point-to-point terrestrial transport for equipment or people.
There’s another application for SpaceX’s Starship architecture that the company is studying, and NASA is on board to lend expertise. Though still in a nascent phase of tech development, the effort could result in repurposing Starship into a commercial space station, something NASA has a keen interest in because there are no plans for a government-owned research lab in low-Earth orbit after the International Space Station is decommissioned after 2030.
The space agency announced last month a new round of agreements with seven commercial companies, including SpaceX. The Collaborations for Commercial Space Capabilities (CCSC) program is an effort established to advance private sector development of emerging products and services that could be available to customers—including NASA—in approximately five to seven years.
