The Oldest Human Footprints in North America Could Redefine Prehistory as We Know It —and It’s All Thanks to These Tiny Seeds

Posted by in category: futurism

Scientists have dated footprints found in New Mexico to 23,000 years ago—millennia earlier than humans were believed to be in the Americas.

Spacecraft Could Make Their Own Landing Pads as They Descend onto the Lunar Surface

Posted by in category: satellites

As part of the Artemis program, NASA is preparing to return astronauts to the Moon. However, before they get to put their boots on our natural satellite once again, the agency must make sure that the lander, together with the crew, can safely touchdown on the rugged surface filled with regolith.

Lucy Is Going to Space — To Explore Time Capsules From the Birth of Our Solar System

Posted by in category: space

Time capsules from the birth of our Solar System more than 4 billion years ago, the swarms of Trojan asteroids associated with Jupiter.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system and the fifth planet from the sun. It is a gas giant with a mass greater then all of the other planets combined. Its name comes from the Roman god Jupiter.

Quantum Heat Engines with Singular Interactions

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

By harnessing quantum phenomena, quantum devices have the potential to outperform their classical counterparts. Here, we examine using wave function symmetry as a resource to enhance the performance of a quantum Otto engine. Previous work has shown that a bosonic working medium can yield better performance than a fermionic medium. We expand upon this work by incorporating a singular interaction that allows the effective symmetry to be tuned between the bosonic and fermionic limits. In this framework, the particles can be treated as anyons subject to Haldane’s generalized exclusion statistics. Solving the dynamics analytically using the framework of “statistical anyons”, we explore the interplay between interparticle interactions and wave function symmetry on engine performance.

Math Equation of Mood Can Predict Your Preferences Better Than You Can

Posted by in categories: information science, mathematics, neuroscience

“Our mathematical equation lets us predict which individuals will have both more happiness and more brain activity for intrinsic compared to extrinsic rewards. The same approach can be used in principle to measure what people actually prefer without asking them explicitly, but simply by measuring their mood.”


Summary: A new mathematical equation predicts which individuals will have more happiness and increased brain activity for intrinsic rather than extrinsic rewards. The approach can be used to predict personal preferences based on mood and without asking the individual.

DNA robot controls live cells’ movement

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, life extension, nanotechnology, robotics/AI

A DNA robot that can walk across biological cell membranes is the first one that can control living cells’ behaviour. The researchers who made the robot hope that it could improve cell-based precision medicine.

A team led by Hong-Hui Wang and Zhou Nie from Hunan University, China, has created a synthetic molecular robot that walks along the outer membrane of biological cells. The robot, powered by an enzyme’s catalytic activity, traverses across receptors that act as stepping stones on the cell surface. With each step, the robot activates a signal pathway that regulates cell migration. Driven by the robot’s movement, the cells can reach speeds of 24 μm/hour.

The researchers write that the DNA robot offers, for the first time, an opportunity to accurately and predictably control the nanoscale operations that power a live cell. They suggest that similar molecular machines that guide cell behaviours could play a role in cell-based therapies and regenerative medicine.

Every time I see a Bill Faloon vid I feel like it’s the most important post I make all year. A lot of information here. Plasma, transcription, stem cell human experiment, billionaires, c. elegans pathways, and and on. If you want hope about living a long time, here it is.

Quantum mechanics of the ground state of four identical fermions

Posted by in categories: particle physics, quantum physics

Basically this was found out in the 1980s and this allows for teleportation in real life 😳 😅 🙃


Wave functions for four identical spin‐one‐half fermions with total spin 0 1, and 2 are constructed. Lower bounds on the ground state energies of these spin states are derived. The results are illustrated with an.
