David Furman uses computational power, collaborations, and cosmic inspiration to tease apart the role of the immune system in aging.
Paleontologists aren’t easily deterred by evolutionary dead ends or a sparse fossil record. But in the last few years, they’ve developed a new trick for turning back time and studying prehistoric animals: building experimental robotic models of them. In the absence of a living specimen, scientists say, an ambling, flying, swimming, or slithering automaton is the next best thing for studying the behavior of extinct organisms. Learning more about how they moved can in turn shed light on aspects of their lives, such as their historic ranges and feeding habits.
Digital models already do a decent job of predicting animal biomechanics, but modeling complex environments like uneven surfaces, loose terrain, and turbulent water is challenging. With a robot, scientists can simply sit back and watch its behavior in different environments. “We can look at its performance without having to think of every detail, [as] in the simulation,” says John Nyakatura, an evolutionary biologist at Humboldt University in Berlin.
How fast is the speed of light? This video explores the true scale of the universe by simulating travel at light speed and beyond. Starting from outside the Milky Way, we move through cosmic objects like Andromeda, the Pleiades, and even our Solar System. Watch as the limits of light speed reveal just how unimaginably vast the universe is. From 1x the speed of light to trillions of times faster, this journey will change how you see the cosmos and our place within it. Perfect for space enthusiasts and anyone curious about the true scale of the universe.

Can our thoughts, our very essence of being, be explained by the enigmatic laws governing the subatomic world? The Quantum Mind theory proposes just that — a radical idea suggesting that consciousness isn’t just a product of neurons firing, but intricately woven into the fabric of quantum physics. This isn’t the plot of a science fiction novel, but a burgeoning field of study captivating scientists and philosophers alike.
While seemingly disparate, the realms of quantum physics and human consciousness share a curious connection. Quantum mechanics, the study of the universe’s tiniest constituents, reveals a reality vastly different from our everyday experience, a world of probabilities and interconnectedness. Could this be the missing piece in understanding our own inner world, the subjective experience of being conscious?
This essay explores the fascinating intersection of these two fields, examining how the peculiar characteristics of the quantum realm might hold the key to unlocking the secrets of consciousness.

What do you think of a car that can drive itself from the factory straight to your home? A car that will automatically head to the police station if someone tries to steal it or take you to the hospital if you lose consciousness while driving. Or simply, it allows you to enjoy a deep, restful sleep after work and wake up right at your doorstep.
Recently, Elon Musk and his team confidently announced that this vehicle would be available to consumers at just one-fifth the ticket price of Waymo, an incredible deal for two passengers! And you can rest assured about safety, as it has been verified to be 8.5 times safer than a traditional human-driven car.
In today’s episode, we’ll compile all the latest updates on its performance, impressive specifications, final pricing, and a detailed breakdown of its production process, all packed into this 19 minutes. Welcome to Tesla Car World!
As Tesla said the new Cybercab could cost Tesla only half as much to manufacture as a Model Y. This means ticket prices could be significantly lower compared to Waymo, which charges nearly five times the price of a Robotaxi and incurs much higher operating costs due to extensive mapping requirements. This presents a massive profit opportunity for Tesla while offering an incredibly affordable fare for up to two passengers!
Moreover, for the price of a bus ticket—which isn’t always the most pleasant experience—you get a private space, your own cabin. You can relax, sleep, work, entertain yourself, watch a great movie, and travel in the most comfortable and efficient way possible aboard Tesla’s Cybercab.

A new study has revealed the clearest-ever picture of the surface chemistry of worm species that provides insights into how animals interact with their environment and each other. These discoveries could pave the way for strategies to deepen our understanding of evolutionary adaptations, refine behavioral research, and ultimately overcome parasitic infections.
Scientists from the University’s School of Pharmacy used an advanced mass spectrometry imaging system to examine the nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus, aiming to characterize species-specific surface chemical composition and its roles in physiology and behavior.
Their results show that nematode surfaces are predominantly oily or lipid-based, forming a complex chemical landscape. The findings have been published in theJournal of the American Chemical Society.
Scientists have unlocked a revolutionary way to generate proton beams using high-powered lasers and a simple stream of water.
Unlike conventional methods requiring large, costly accelerators, this approach uses laser-plasma accelerators to produce ultra-fast proton beams in a compact space.

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a polymeric molecule similar to DNA that is essential in various biological roles in coding, decoding, regulation and expression of genes. Both are nucleic acids, but unlike DNA, RNA is single-stranded. An RNA strand has a backbone made of alternating sugar (ribose) and phosphate groups. Attached to each sugar is one of four bases—adenine (A), uracil (U), cytosine ©, or guanine (G). Different types of RNA exist in the cell: messenger RNA (mRNA), ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and transfer RNA (tRNA).
Scientists have detected cosmic waves that sound like birds chirping in an unexpected place.
These bursts of plasma, called chorus waves, ripple at the same frequency as human hearing. When converted to audio signals, their sharp notes mimic high-pitched bird calls.
Researchers have captured such sounds in space before, but now they have sensed the chirping waves from much farther away: over 62,000 miles (100,000 kilometers) from Earth, where they’ve never been measured before.
