Clouds are made of silicate minerals.
The clouds of the distant brown dwarf contain silicate material, making it a quite unusual atmospheric composition.
Scientists have discovered a fluorescent protein that flouts trade-off relationships.
Scientific research institute RIKEN produced bright and photostable green fluorescent protein from Japanese jellyfish. Published in Nature Biotechnology.
Proteins that emit green light when illuminated are effective instruments for capturing images of intricate cell architecture. Such fluorescent proteins can be attached to target structures of interest, which light up when exposed to blue light.

Published in Nature Biotechnology on August 17, the results show that the protein maintaining its brightness even when irradiated by high light has significant implications for fluorescence imaging of biological material.
Peering incredibly far back into time, astronomers found a group of much older stars than they expected.
Astronomers made a new discovery in the very first full-color image released from the James Webb Space Telescope.
The first full-color James Webb image, revealed by President Joe Biden on July 11, shows a vast network of galaxies and peers billions of years into the past. Within that network, astronomers believe they have identified the most distant globular clusters ever identified, as per a BBC report.

The discovery is indicative not only of the new insight James Webb is yet to reveal but also of the treasure trove of information stored in every image it has already released.
The skeleton of the actual T. rex is expected to be sold for as much as $25 million.
The actual T. rex for sale! The skeleton of the “king of the tyrant lizards,” Tyrannosaurus Rex, will go to auction on November 30 at Christie’s in Hong Kong. The fossils of the dinosaur are expected to be sold for as much as $25 million according to Christie’s.
Named Shen for now, the new owner of the 3,000-pound (1,400 kilograms) skeleton will get exclusive naming rights and be able to change it after purchase. Shen is 40 feet (12.2 meters) long, 15 feet (4.6 m) tall, and 6.8 feet (2.1 m) wide.
According to Christie’s, this will be the first time a T. rex skeleton has ever been sold at an auction in Asia.

What about the Chinese Room thought experiment by Searle, doesn’t that disprove true AI and mind uploading?
The Chinese Room Argument is a thought experiment designed by philosopher John Searle and published in his article, Can Computers Think? This experiment is in opposition to strong-artificial intelligence (AI), specifically to claims that computers may someday be able to have cognitive states. Searle argues that cognitive states must have semantic content, yet programs are purely syntactic, and that computers are constrained by structures that disallow them from creating their own meaning.
To make this argument, Searle imagines a “Chinese Room” in which a person receives a string of Chinese characters, and using a computer, returns the appropriate response in Chinese. The person has no understanding of the Chinese language yet using syntactic and instructions, the person is able to mimic an understanding of Chinese. Searle demonstrates that an ability to follow formal instructions and produce appropriate responses does not equate to an understanding, due to the lack of semantic content. Similarly, a computer that substitutes for said person, would not understand Chinese.
Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker (https://nancybrinker.com/) is Founder of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (https://www.komen.org/) and Co-Founder of the Promise Fund of Florida (https://www.promisefundofflorida.org/).
Amb. Brinker is a three-time Ambassador and New York Times best-selling author who is regarded as the leader of the global breast cancer movement. Her journey began with a promise to her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, that she would do everything possible to end the shame, pain, fear, and hopelessness caused by this disease. In one generation, the organization that bears Susan’s name has changed the world.
In 2009, President Barack Obama honored Amb. Brinker with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, for this work. The same year, she was named Goodwill Ambassador for Cancer Control for the United Nations’ World Health Organization, where she continued her mission to put cancer control at the top of the world health agenda.
In 2010, Amb. Brinker released her New York Times best-selling memoir “Promise Me — How a Sister’s Love Launched the Global Movement to End Breast Cancer” (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307718123?ie=UTF8&tag=lif…07718123), an inspirational story of her transformation from bereaved sister to the undisputed leader of the ongoing international movement to end breast cancer.
From 2001–2003, Amb. Brinker served as U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Hungary and served as U.S. Chief of Protocol from 2007–2009.
Amb. Brinker is also the host of a weekly show on Newsmax TV which features news makers, corporate leaders, and high-profile cultural thought leaders.

The helicopter has been scouting the red planet for over a year.
NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter went from being a proof of concept for off-world flight to becoming a fully-fledged aerial scout for NASA’s Perseverance mission.
The helicopter wasn’t alone, as per a blog post from NASA. Images from the chopper show a flowing debris object, resembling a piece of a plastic bag, for part of its journey.

The helicopter was initially only expected to fly about five times — proving humans could perform a controlled flight in Mars’ thin atmosphere — but it took off for the 33rd time on September 24 for a short repositioning flight.

New mathematical formulation means huge paradigm shift in physics would not be necessary.
