Artificial intelligence meets “blisk” in new DARPA-funded collaboration

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space travel

A recent award from the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) brings together researchers from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), and Lehigh University (Lehigh) under the Multiobjective Engineering and Testing of Alloy Structures (METALS) program. The team will research novel design tools for the simultaneous optimization of shape and compositional gradients in multi-material structures that complement new high-throughput materials testing techniques, with particular attention paid to the bladed disk (blisk) geometry commonly found in turbomachinery (including jet and rocket engines) as an exemplary challenge problem.

A Key Brain Difference Linked to Autism Is Found for the First Time in Living People

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

A key brain difference linked to autism has been found for the first time in living people.

Using a sophisticated imaging technology, Yale School of Medicine researchers found that the brains of autistic adults have fewer synapses — crucial junctions between nerve cells and other cells — than the brains of neurotypical individuals: bit.ly/3NK9gGQ Yale.


Autistic brains have fewer synapses compared to neurotypical brains, PET scans show.

Particle that only has mass when moving in one direction observed for first time

Posted by in categories: materials, particle physics

For the first time, scientists have observed a collection of particles, also known as a quasiparticle, that’s massless when moving one direction but has mass in the other direction. The quasiparticle, called a semi-Dirac fermion, was first theorized 16 years ago, but was only recently spotted inside a crystal of semi-metal material called ZrSiS. The observation of the quasiparticle opens the door to future advances in a range of emerging technologies from batteries to sensors, according to the researchers.

The team, led by scientists at Penn State and Columbia University, recently published their discovery in the journal Physical Review X.

Altered States of Consciousness Can Distort Time, And Nobody Knows Why

Posted by in categories: media & arts, neuroscience

We all know that time seems to pass at different speeds in different situations. For example, time appears to go slowly when we travel to unfamiliar places. A week in a foreign country seems much longer than a week at home.

Time also seems to pass slowly when we are bored, or in pain. It seems to speed up when we’re in a state of absorption, such as when we play music or chess, or paint or dance. More generally, most people report time seems to speed up as they get older.

However, these variations in time perception are quite mild. Our experience of time can change in a much more radical way. In my new book, I describe what I call “time expansion experiences” – in which seconds can stretch out into minutes.

Astronomers Admit: We Were Wrong—100 Billion Habitable Earth-Like Planets In Our Galaxy Alone

Posted by in category: space

Astronomers admit: we were wrong—100 billion habitable earth-like planets in our galaxy alone.

Estimates by astronomers indicate that there could be more than 100 BILLION Earth-like worlds in the Milky Way that could be home to life. Think that’s a big number? According to astronomers, there are roughly 500 billion galaxies in the known universe, which means there are around-1 (5×1022) habitable planets. That’s of course if there’s just ONE universe.
