On September 13, 2017, more than 180 scientists and doctors sent an 11-page Appeal for a moratorium on the roll out of 5G in the European Union.
A team of researchers at Wits University in Johannesburg, South Africa have made a major breakthrough in the field of biomedical engineering. According to a release published on Medical Express, for the first time ever, researchers have devised a way of connecting the human brain to the internet in real time.
One of the things that we could do with a quantum internet is to generate a key to encode messages using the quantum internet. The security of that key would now be based on this property of entanglement, and this is basically the properties of the laws of physics. You will get a means of communication whose security is guaranteed by physical laws instead of (by) assumptions that no one is able to hack your code.
Citizen scientists can advance research in almost any field, and so long as pattern recognition is part of a project, it has the potential to become a citizen science endeavor. Anyone can identify patterns in data, graphs, or images after a short tutorial.
Can the season that you were born in affect your personality? New research shows that the season you are born has a significant impact on your risk of developing mood disorders. People born at certain times of year may have a greater chance of developing certain types of affective temperaments, which in turn can lead to mood disorders.

Flippy is an artificial intelligence-driven robot that can flip burgers on a grill and then place them on a bun once they are done cooking. It is designed with a 6-axis robotic arm and cameras and sensors to see its environment.
Psychology once assumed that most human emotions fall within the universal categories of happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust. But a new study from Greater Good Science Center faculty director Dacher Keltner suggests that there are at least 27 distinct emotions—and they are intimately connected with each other.
A new study—by a group at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand—finds the fit of Type Ia supernovae to a model universe with no dark energy to be very slightly better than the fit to the standard dark energy model.
Whether aliens come to us or we begin colonizing outer space, according to Stephen Hawking, they might be more like us than we imagine — and that’s a threat to our survival.
Researchers discovered that the risk for feeling lonely is partially due to genetics, but it’s not they primary cause.
The earthquake, which was felt as far as Mexico City and Guatemala City. The epicenter was in the Pacific Ocean, some 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) southeast of the capital and 74 miles (120 kilometers) from the Pacific coast.
Theoretical physicists and astrophysicists, investigating irregularities in the cosmic microwave background (the ‘afterglow’ of the Big Bang), have found there is substantial evidence supporting a holographic explanation of the universe. A holographic universe, an idea first suggested in the 1990s, is one where all the information that makes up our 3-D ‘reality’ (plus time) is contained in a 2-D surface on its boundaries.
Yesterday the sun released TWO X-class solar flares. The first flare was an X2.2, while the second was much more intense and rates as an X9.3. Higher numbers correspond to stronger flares. The X9.3 is the largest flare recorded in our current solar cycle, which began in late 2008, and will likely overpower the earlier one on its way to Earth. The forecast is for impact tomorrow (Thursday).
The study may be the first to take a direct look at how the human genome is evolving in a period as short as one or two generations.
Did you know that not only do we have a force field around our bodies, but we can predict upcoming events up to 10 seconds before they happen? Read this!
