Engineers at MIT Designed a Chip That Behaves Just Like Brain Cell Connections
The most promising artificial synapse to date. For those working in the field of advanced artificial intelligence, getting a computer to simulate brain activity is a gargantuan task, but it may be easier to manage if the hardware is designed more like brain hardware to start with. This emerging field is called neuromorphic computing. And now engineers at MIT may have … Continue reading
What Would Happen If Yellowstone Supervolcano Was Hit With A Nuclear Bomb?
It’s fair to say that people are enthralled by volcanoes. We get many questions about them. What would happen if Yellowstone caldera erupted again today? (If it’s a powerful blast, then spoiler alert: nothing good.) Can we throw away all our trash in volcanoes? Do volcanoes produce more carbon dioxide than humans on a similar timescale? Just in the last … Continue reading

Will Aliens Rescue Humanity?
It was July 1st 1952 when Look magazine carried this story: “Flying Saucers- The Hunt Goes On” with the byline: “Fearful of danger from the skies, the United States Air Force is launching a secret search to discover once-and-for-all what is the mysterious, unbelievable thing Americans keep sighting overhead.” At the time, the Air Force confirmed more than 800 sightings … Continue reading
8.5-Mile ‘Pyramid’ Discovered at Bottom of the Pacific Ocean
COULD this bizarre object, described as a giant ancient pyramid and found at the bottom of the sea, be a clue to the site of the mythological City of Atlantis? The structure, estimated as being between 3.5 and 11 miles across, was spotted on Google Earth in the Pacific Ocean just west of Mexico. A video about the discovery uploaded … Continue reading
Earth’s Magnetic Pole Flip Would Expose Humans to Radiation and Cause Planet-Wide Blackouts
Updated | Historically, Earth’s North and South magnetic poles have flipped every 200,000 or 300,000 years—except right now, they haven’t flipped successfully for about 780,000 years. But the planet’s magnetic field is at long last showing signs of shifting. Although there’s no way to know yet for sure, it could be gearing up to flip once more, according to Undark … Continue reading
Powerful Volcanic Eruptions to Become More Common in The Future, Scientists Warn
I tend to question the reason or cause that they are giving for the increase when there is obvious reasons like a migrating magnetic pole that is about to flip and also there is the slowing of Earths rotation that can be strongly related to the coming increase in the volcanic activity and strength. via Science Alert / Business Insider: … Continue reading
