Researchers from Mass General Brigham and collaborating institutions have developed a non-invasive approach to manipulate cardiac tissue activity by using light to stimulate an innovative ink incorporated into bioprinted tissue. Their goal is to develop a technique that can be used to repair the heart. Their findings in preclinical models, published in Science Advances, show the transformative potential of non-invasive therapeutic methods to control electrically active tissues.

“We showed for the first time that with this optoelectronically active ink, we can print scaffolds that allow remote control of engineered heart tissues,” said co-corresponding author Y. Shrike Zhang, Ph.D., of the Division of Engineering in Medicine at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a founding member of the Mass General Brigham health care system. “This approach paves the way for non-invasive light stimulation, tissue regeneration, and host integration capabilities in cardiac therapy and beyond.”

Three-dimensional bioprinted tissues composed of cells and other body-compatible materials are a powerful emerging tool to repair damaged heart tissue. But most bioprinted tissues cannot generate the necessary electrical activity for cellular function. They must instead rely on invasive wire and electrode placement to control heart activity, which can damage body tissues.

Have you ever felt like the world around you is losing its grip on reality? What if entire societies could descend into madness without realizing it?

In this eye-opening video, we explore the concept of mass psychosis—a phenomenon that has shaped history through witch hunts, oppressive regimes, and ideological purges. Guided by insights from great thinkers like Carl Jung, Hannah Arendt, and Joost Meerloo, we unravel the hidden mechanisms that manipulate public perception, erode critical thinking, and lead populations into collective delusion.

🔎 What You’ll Discover:
✅ How fear is weaponized to control societies.
✅ The role of propaganda in shaping public opinion.
✅ The dangers of blind conformity and obedience.
✅ How to protect your mind from mass manipulation.

Mass psychosis does not last forever—eventually, reality breaks through. But will we wake up before it’s too late? Watch now to uncover the truth and learn how to resist the forces that seek to control you.

In December 2022, a team at Lawrence Livermore National Lab’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) conducted the first controlled fusion experiment in history to reach scientific energy breakeven, producing more energy from fusion than the laser energy used to drive it. In that experiment, where 2.05 MJ of laser energy was delivered to the target, a fusion energy output of 3.15 MJ was achieved, a gain of 1.5. Since then, ignition has been repeated several times, with even higher gains achieved. This webinar will review the NIF – the world’s largest, most energetic laser; the latest experimental results; the scientific and technological advancements that made this breakthrough possible; and the implications for future research, particularly in how the achievement of ignition now lays the groundwork to explore laser inertial fusion as a path for clean energy and energy security.

The following topics will be presented:
• Fusion.
• Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
• National Ignition Facility.
• Ignition.
• Energy.
• Pilot plant.

To address this challenge, the researchers propose two alternative QV tests that sidestep classical simulation entirely. Their primary modification involves using parity-preserving quantum gates — gates that maintain the parity (even or odd sum) of qubits throughout the computation. This allows the heavy output subspace to be known in advance, eliminating the need for classical verification.

The first approach, the parity-preserving benchmark, modifies the structure of the quantum circuits while keeping the number of two-qubit interactions the same. The researchers argue that this change has minimal impact on experimental implementation but significantly reduces computational costs.

“Since the interaction part is unaffected, the number of fundamental two-qubit gates, 3 in case of CNOTs, remains unchanged,” they write in the paper.

A team of mathematicians and statisticians from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, the University of Tennessee and Valparaiso University, all in the U.S., has found new evidence that wolves had ample time to self-domesticate and evolve into modern dogs. In their study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, the group developed a computer simulation showing the evolution process.

Prior research has suggested that the process of self-domesticating and then slowly evolving into modern dogs would have taken too long. Additionally, researchers believe that humans and dogs have been living in close proximity for approximately 30,000 years and that for the past 15,000 years, humans have been breeding them to perform certain tasks. But what happened in the first 15,000 years is less clear.

Some have suggested that humans may have begun encouraging the friendliest to hang around by adopting their puppies, finding their presence advantageous. Others have suggested that wolves moved ever closer to groups of humans for access to leftover food. But this , others have noted, would take more than 15,000 years to reach the point where humans began breeding them.

The Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science (OECS) is a free, online collection of multidisciplinary peer-reviewed articles on various topics in cognitive science. Officially launched last August by MIT Press, the OECS is a successor to the MIT Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science. It currently has around 80 articles, with more to come, on topics such as: Social Epistemology by Mandi Astola and Mark Alfano The Mind-Body Problem by Tim Crane Bodily Sensations by Frédérique de Vignemont Personal/Subpersonal Distinction by Zoe Drayson Conceptual Analysis by Frank Jackson Natural Kinds by Muhammad Ali Khalidi Cognitive Ontology by Colin Klein Free Will by Neil Levy Experimental Philosophy by Edouard Machery Metacognition by Joëlle Proust …to pick just ten. The editors of OECS are Michael C. Frank of Stanford University and Asifa Majid of the University of Oxford. You can check it out here.
