Neurotic personalities are a staple of science fiction. Researchers who study how people react to robot personalities have recently found that neurotic traits in a robot can make them seem more relatable.

Cryonics in Space, Cryostasis Repair Science & Revival Ethics
Cryonics in space, cryostasis repair science, and revival ethics and planning are converging in 2025 to shape a bold new vision for life extension and post-biological freedom.
Join us Thursday, July 31 at 6 PM EST for a virtual service featuring two of cryonics’ leading voices:
Rudy Hoffman – Immortality Through Innovation.
Rudy opens with the visionary idea of cryonics in space and shares how today’s planning tools—annuity structures, revival trusts, and insurance-backed systems—support long-term access to biostasis. He ends with a powerful call to preserve freedom in the era of revival governance.
Alex Crouch – The Bridges to Reanimation.
Founder of Revival Research Group, Alex outlines the six bridges of cryostasis repair science, covering nanotech repair, AI orchestration, simulation, and bioprinting. His roadmap aims to make revival a transparent, collaborative goal.
Opening remarks by Neal Vanderee, officiator of the Church of Perpetual Life, connecting science, spirit, and future readiness.

Physicists identify antiferromagnet with high heat-to-electricity conversion efficiency
RIKEN physicists have found a magnetic material that converts heat into electricity with high efficiency, making it promising for use in energy-harvesting devices. The work is published in the journal Nature Communications.
Photos you take on your smartphone are saved as a series of zeros and ones in a ferromagnetic material —magnetic materials that resemble iron in that their magnetic moments all point in the same direction.
Ferromagnets are easy to manipulate, making it easy to save data. However, because their magnetic moments are all aligned, they generate strong magnetic fields, and so it is not possible to cram a lot of them into a small space.
NASA Is Watching a Huge Anomaly Growing in Earth’s Magnetic Field
For years, NASA has monitored a strange anomaly in Earth’s magnetic field: a giant region of lower magnetic intensity in the skies above the planet, stretching out between South America and southwest Africa.
This vast, developing phenomenon, called the South Atlantic Anomaly, has intrigued and concerned scientists for years, and perhaps none more so than NASA researchers.
The space agency’s satellites and spacecraft are particularly vulnerable to the weakened magnetic field strength within the anomaly, and the resulting exposure to charged particles from the Sun.
