Plasma pursuits: HEDS Center fellows illuminate the fourth state of matter

Posted by in categories: energy, physics

In 2019, the High Energy Density Science (HEDS) Center at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) launched its postdoctoral fellowship program, welcoming one new scientist annually to come and conduct research for a two-year term. Supported by LLNL’s Weapons Physics and Design program, HEDS fellows are encouraged to pursue their own research agenda as it relates to the study of matter and energy under extreme conditions.

The most recent postdoctoral fellows, physicist Elizabeth “Liz” Grace (2022 fellow) and plasma physicist Graeme Sutcliffe (2023 fellow), are using high-intensity lasers and advanced diagnostics to observe the behaviors of plasma. A plasma, known as the “fourth state of matter,” is a superheated, ionized gas that makes up the majority of visible matter in the universe, like stars and nebulae. Replicating these conditions is a key step to achieving robust igniting inertial fusion designs for energy resilience.

China develops new stealth coating to blind anti-stealth radars

Posted by in categories: materials, military

The Chinese military claims it has developed a new radar-defeating coating that can hide targets from anti-stealth radar.


According to the Chinese researchers, their new technology provides exceptional ultra-wideband low-frequency stealth capabilities without relying on heavy and costly magnetic materials.

Early adult binge drinking has lasting impact on aging brain in mice

Posted by in categories: bioengineering, biotech/medical, chemistry, life extension, neuroscience

In a new work, a team from the University of Pennsylvania tracked the impact of alcohol consumption from the age of 20 on brain health and came to disappointing conclusions.


UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Binge drinking in early adults can lead to long-lasting and potentially permanent dysregulation in the brain, according to a new study in mice, led by researchers at Penn State. They found that neurons, cells that transmit information in the brain via electrical and chemical signals, showed changes following binge drinking were similar in many ways to those seen with cognitive decline.

These findings, published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging, reveal that binge drinking early in life may have lasting impacts that are predictive of future health issues, like Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, the researchers said. The work could inform the development of therapeutics to help combat these changes — particularly in aging populations who may have given up alcohol decades earlier, according to Nikki Crowley, director of the Penn State Neuroscience Institute at University Park, Huck Early Career Chair in Neurobiology and Neural Engineering, assistant professor of biology in the Eberly College of Science, and the leader of the research team.

New Platform Overcomes Blood-Brain Barrier for Drug Delivery

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Summary: Researchers have developed a breakthrough system to deliver large therapeutic molecules into the brain, overcoming the challenges of the blood-brain barrier. The innovative blood-brain barrier-crossing conjugate (BCC) platform utilizes a biological process called γ-secretase-mediated transcytosis to safely transport drugs like oligonucleotides and proteins into the central nervous system via intravenous injection.

In mouse models and human brain tissue, the system effectively silenced harmful genes linked to diseases such as ALS and Alzheimer’s without causing significant side effects. This advancement could revolutionize treatments for neurological and psychiatric disorders, solving a critical challenge in brain research.

Texas seeks to regulate cryptocurrency mining on ERCOT grid

Posted by in categories: computing, cryptocurrencies

The Public Utilities Commission of Texas (PUCT) on Thursday adopted a rule requiring virtual currency mining facilities in the region maintained by the Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) to register with the commission. In these registrations, the PUCT seeks each facility to share its location, ownership information and demand for electricity.

Cryptocurrency mining, in which computers crack codes in order to verify crypto transactions, has been on the rise in Texas for the past few years, specifically after China banned the practice in May 2021. The state itself was luring miners to set up shop here, offering relative regulatory freedom at first. But in the last year, Texans have been speaking out against the mines, which operate scores of their large computers at all hours of the day. The computer usage, coupled with the fans required to cool down the hard-working machines, can use up a lot of power and make the kind of noise that residents say make them sick.

The “SALTED” Nuke That Could END the World

Posted by in category: futurism

When you think of nuclear devastation, you imagine shockwaves, fireballs, and destruction. But the true nightmare lies in what comes after—the fallout. Now, imagine a weapon so lethal it could render Earth uninhabitable for centuries. Meet the cobalt bomb, a terrifying \.
