Exploring an alternate solar system: Research maps impact of ‘super-Earth’

Posted by in categories: mapping, physics, space

Emily Simpson has loved space since she was a 10-year-old kid celebrating her birthday at a planetarium. Now a recent Florida Tech graduate, she leaves with not only a dual degree in planetary science and astronomy and astrophysics but with published research, too. She mapped our solar system’s “alternate fate” had it housed an extra planet between Mars and Jupiter instead of the existing asteroid belt.

Simpson’s paper, “How might a planet between Mars and Jupiter influence the inner solar system? Effects on , obliquity, and eccentricity,” was published in Icarus, a journal devoted to the publication of research around solar system studies. It was co-authored by her advisor, assistant professor of Howard Chen.

They developed a 3D model that simulates how the solar system’s orbital architecture may have evolved differently with the formation of a planet that is at least twice the size of Earth’s mass—a super-Earth—instead of an asteroid belt.

Black Hole Plasma Jets Seen Traveling at Record Speeds Leave Astronomers Stunned

Posted by in categories: cosmology, physics

A supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy is rewriting the rules of astrophysics, with unprecedented activity that has left astronomers around the world both fascinated and perplexed. Plasma jets traveling at record-breaking speeds and rapid X-ray fluctuations near the event horizon are just some of the strange phenomena observed in real time. What secrets is this cosmic behemoth revealing, and how might it reshape our understanding of black holes?

Brain Connectivity Patterns Link Vascular Disease to Cognitive Decline

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Source: NUS

Researchers have uncovered novel insights into how brain function disruptions related to cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) interact with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pathology to impact neurodegeneration and cognition in older adults.

Led by Associate Professor Juan Helen Zhou, Director of the Centre for Translational Magnetic Resonance Research, Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, National University of Singapore (NUS Medicine), the research team revealed a brain functional connectome phenotype that is related to multiple CeVD markers and contributes additively to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration alongside AD.

Tiny AI chip modeled on the human brain set to boost battery life in smart devices — with lifespan in some rising up to 6 times

Posted by in categories: internet, robotics/AI

But the Spiking Neural Processor T1 should drastically slash the power consumption of future smart devices.

It works by analyzing sensor data in real time to identify patterns and potentially clean up the data coming out of the sensors — and no internet connection would be required.

The device is a neuromorphic processor — meaning its architecture is arranged to mimic the brain’s pattern-recognition mechanisms. To draw an analogy, when you sense something — whether it’s a smell or a sound — different collections of neurons fire to identify it.

Posted by in categories: biological, chemistry

In this video, we simplify gluconeogenesis, an essential metabolic pathway that helps your body maintain glucose levels during fasting or intense activity.

We’ll walk you through:
✔️ What gluconeogenesis is and why it’s important.
✔️ Key steps in the pathway.
✔️ Enzymes involved and their regulation.
✔️ How it ties into other metabolic processes.

Red Light Therapy May Reduce Deadly Blood Clots

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Red light exposure may reduce blood clot risks, according to groundbreaking research. By lowering inflammation and platelet activity, it could prevent strokes, heart attacks, and more. Clinical trials are next.


The ability of released products of platelet activation to induce thrombosis-generating neutrophil extracellular trap formation was quantified. Subsequent thrombosis was measured using murine models of VT and stroke.

To translate our findings to human patients, light-filtering cataract patients were evaluated over an 8-year period for rate of venous thromboembolism with multivariable logistic regression clustered by hospital.
