lucifelle:
Most people know that nerves work by passing electrical currents from cell to cell. But you might be surprised to learn that no one knows exactly how anesthetics stop nerves from carrying pain signals. That’s why two scientists believe that we really don’t know how nerves work after all. According to their controversial theory, electricity is just a side effect of how nerves really...

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
Hello, Until the End of the World…
Old news. Essentially the same story from two years ago. I’m waiting for them to crack open the dreamscape.
Still mind-blowing though. Sci-fi is no longer mere imagination.

BLUEBRAIN | Year One
Henry Markram is attempting to reverse engineer an entire human brain, one neuron at a time. This piece is an introduction to director Noah Hutton’s 10-year film-in-the-making that will chronicle the development of The Blue Brain Project, a landmark endeavor in modern neuroscience.
See Year Two here.

Chickenosaurus: Turning Birds Back Into Dinosaurs
Scientists have rewound 65 million years of evolutionary history by tweaking chicken DNA to create embryos that grow alligator-like snouts rather than beaks.
Chickens and other birds are thought to have descended from dinosaurs through a series of genetic changes.
But by altering the DNA of chicken embryos in the early stages of their development, scientists are able to undo the...

New results from NASA’s Galaxy Evolution Explorer and the Anglo-Australian Telescope atop Siding Spring Mountain in Australia confirm that dark energy (represented by purple grid) is a smooth, uniform force that now dominates over the effects of gravity (green grid). The observations follow…
Scientists make teleportation breakthrough →
cosmosplasma:
The mind-bending project, led by Noriyuki Lee at the University of Tokyo, could lead to the creation of super-powerful quantum computers and revolutionise the telecommunications industry.
The team managed to teleport wave packets of light by destroying them in one place and re-creating them in another.
It’s an incredible process that means transmitting large volumes of complex...

“…And it would be simple-minded to think that this is merely another computer innovation, like newer iPhones or faster processors. This is much more. This is opening a door to new computing capabilities never before imagined. And with that, changes to our understanding of the universe, technology, and the structure of society as powerful as our metamorphosis has been over the last...

From the lives of the stars to creation theories, functions of the human brain, and the ongoing search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Cosmos asks big questions. When appropriate, Sagan offers big answers, or asks still bigger–and yes, even spiritual–questions at the boundaries of science and religion. What’s most remarkable about Cosmos is that it remains...

“…..Using a simple mixture of sunlight and one gallon of water, the “leaf” which is the size of a playing card, is made of silicon, electronics and the aforementioned catalysts, which speed up the process. Rather than producing energy directly like a photovoltaic cell, the “leaf” splits the hydrogen and oxygen atoms, which then produce electricity for personal and household...
