Intel engineers have solved the quality control challenge for mass production of quantum computers.
One day a “magic carpet” based on this light-induced flow technology could carry climate sensors high in the atmosphere—wind permitting.
Traumatic and stressful events in childhood can affect the brain into adulthood, scientists have shown, identifying for the first time specific alterations to key brain structures in the amygdala and the hippocampus.
Astronomers using a new technique may have not only found a super-Earth at a neighbouring star, but they may also have directly imaged it. And it could be nice and cozy in the habitable zone around Alpha Centauri.
All governments across the globe are the same they don’t want a free flow of information that would challenge their authority and decisions that they think are good for us, maybe because they want to maintain law and order in society.
I am against the control of social media by the government and I am also against the algorithms which are designed to make people addicted to social media by showing the thing that appeals most to them for profit.
What are your opinions on this topic, how we can achieve the balance between these challenging aspects of social media use?
In case you missed it at Davos, Ursula von der Leyen’s call for safer social media. 📕.
Welcome back to the Daily Aviation for a new documentary video about the DARPA/USMC Ultra Heavy-Lift Amphibious Connector (UHAC) based on the Captive Air Amphibious Transporter (CAAT) project. This video also feature the US Landing Craft Air Cushion (LCAC) and compares it to the UHAC project.

Previous studies have shown that AgRP neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC) respond to energy deficits and play a key role in the control of feeding behavior and metabolism. Here, we demonstrate that chronic unpredictable stress, an animal model of depression, decreases spontaneous firing rates, increases firing irregularity and alters the firing properties of AgRP neurons in both male and female mice. These changes are associated with enhanced inhibitory synaptic transmission and reduced intrinsic neuronal excitability. Chemogenetic inhibition of AgRP neurons increases susceptibility to subthreshold unpredictable stress. Conversely, chemogenetic activation of AgRP neurons completely reverses anhedonic and despair behaviors induced by chronic unpredictable stress.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is learning more about how to work with (and on) humans. A recent study has shown how AI can learn to identify vulnerabilities in human habits and behaviours and use them to influence human decision-making.
