Artemis 1’s Orion capsule fires engine for 1st time on way to the moon

Posted by in category: space travel

NASA’s moon-bound Orion space capsule fired its main engine for the first time about eight hours after the launch of the Artemis 1 mission to adjust its trajectory and check out the system.

The capsule was lofted to space by the giant Space Launch System rocket from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida early Wednesday morning (Nov. 16). The rocket’s second stage put the capsule on a trajectory toward the moon about two hours after liftoff. However, to perfect the path and to make sure that Orion’s own maneuvering system works as designed, the capsule performed a planned engine burn shortly before 10 a.m. EST (1500 GMT) on Wednesday.

Researchers develop new, heat-efficient nanoparticles for treating cancer

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, nanotechnology

Oregon State University scientists have invented a way to make magnetic nanoparticles that get hotter than any previous nanoparticle, improving their cancer fighting ability.

Faculty from the OSU College of Pharmacy spearheaded a collaboration that developed an advanced thermal decomposition method for producing able to reach temperatures in lesions of up to 50 degrees Celsius, or 122 degrees Fahrenheit, when exposed to an alternating magnetic field.

Findings of the preclinical study led by Oleh Taratula and Olena Taratula were published today in the journal Small Methods.

MIT solved a century-old differential equation to break ‘liquid’ AI’s computational bottleneck

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, information science, mathematics, robotics/AI

Last year, MIT developed an AI/ML algorithm capable of learning and adapting to new information while on the job, not just during its initial training phase. These “liquid” neural networks (in the Bruce Lee sense) literally play 4D chess — their models requiring time-series data to operate — which makes them ideal for use in time-sensitive tasks like pacemaker monitoring, weather forecasting, investment forecasting, or autonomous vehicle navigation. But, the problem is that data throughput has become a bottleneck, and scaling these systems has become prohibitively expensive, computationally speaking.

On Tuesday, MIT researchers announced that they have devised a solution to that restriction, not by widening the data pipeline but by solving a differential equation that has stumped mathematicians since 1907. Specifically, the team solved, “the differential equation behind the interaction of two neurons through synapses… to unlock a new type of fast and efficient artificial intelligence algorithms.”

Mars is Alive! NASA Detects Unusual Activity From Inside The Planet

Posted by in category: space

It turned out that Mars wasn’t as silent as first believed. Instead, there is intense seismic activity on the red planet, which is rumbling and groaning.

Two Fathers One Egg

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, sex

What will it take for a same-sex couple—two males or two females—to be able to produce a biological child by combining their genomes in the same way that male-female couples do? Just to be clear, we’re not talking about adopting. Nor do we mean one mate fertilizes a donor egg or is fertilized with donated sperm. Those things have long existed. We mean you take two women or two men and make a baby.

And they’ve already done it with two male mice.

The Future Will Be Shaped by Optimists | Kevin Kelly | TED

Posted by in categories: business, ethics

“Every great and difficult thing has required a strong sense of optimism,” says editor and author Kevin Kelly, who believes that we have a moral obligation to be optimistic. Tracing humanity’s progress throughout history, he’s observed that a positive outlook helps us solve problems and empowers us to forge a path forward. In this illuminating talk, he shares three reasons for optimism during challenging times, explaining how it can help us become better ancestors and create the world we want to see for ourselves and future generations.
