Neuroscientists Track Thought’s Trip through Brain
A team of researchers led by the University of California, Berkeley’s Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute has tracked the progress of a thought through the brain, showing how a region called the prefrontal cortex coordinates activity to help us act in response to a perception. The team’s results appear in the journal Nature Human Behavior. Recording the electrical activity of neurons … Continue reading
Could These Scientists End Up SWITCHING-OFF GRAVITY – And If They Do What Will Happen?
Well this sure sounds interesting and possible scary as well. via Express UK: A TEAM of research scientists may be on the cusp of switching-off GRAVITY itself, as part of a bid to develop warp-drive travel. The physicists are attempting to harness the power of Quantum Entanglement – a bizarre force which allows one particle to ‘talk’ to a mirror … Continue reading
Virtual Reality Getting ‘Real’: New Laser System Creates 3D Full Color Images in Thin Air
Unlike 3-D images of old, these high-res pictures are visible from almost any direction. The 3-D displays seen in such sci-fi movies as Star Wars may not be so far, far away. A new laser system renders full-color 3-D images in thin air, researchers report in the Jan. 25 Nature. This technology could someday make futuristic, free-floating visuals for everything … Continue reading
Link Between Long Term Cell Phone Usage and Brain Tumors and Cancer Examined
Robert Romeo, a former telecommunications worker in Italy, told an Italian court that he used his cellphone three to four hours a day for 15 years as part of his job duties. He subsequently developed a brain tumor, which the court ruled was due to his constant cellphone use. As a result, he was awarded a state-funded pension of about … Continue reading
Earth Will Become a ‘Meaningless Dystopia’ as Robots Rise, Scientist Warns
Many valid warnings are often seen or taken as fear mongering because people don’t seem to understand that the subject of the warnings don’t happen right away but rather, slowly over time, and that often causes people to become desensitized to the event taking place all around them but ever so slowly. via Expresss UK: Dr Subhash Kak, computing expert … Continue reading
Tractor Beam Becomes Reality; May Levitate Humans Someday
Fantastic stuff, I’ve always wanted to sleep on nothing…I imagine it would be so comfortable and relaxing and would probably help a person have the most awesome dreams 🙂 This is truly an incredible and important science/technology breakthrough. This could play a vital role in so many areas including health, even in advancing technology, construction, safety, rescue, and more. Maybe … Continue reading
Russia, Canada, Northern European Countries More Likely to be Hit by Meteorites
Russia, Canada, and Northern European countries are the primary targets for asteroids and meteorites falling to Earth, Columbian scientists have found. But don’t get packing just yet, because nowhere is really safe. Scientists Jorge Zuluaga and Mario Sucerquia from the University of Antioquia in Medellin (Colombia), analyzed the probability of a space rock falling in different regions of the Earth … Continue reading
Threat from Killer Space Viruses Might be Greater Than We Think
Could an alien virus arrive from outer space and wipe out the human race? It may sound like the plot of a B-movie, but an international group of scientists is now formally exploring the possibility for the very first time. In a study published in the journal Astrobiology next month, the group sets out its belief that while NASA continues … Continue reading
Would Enhancement of Humans Create Supermen or Super Villains?
The dream that we may one day transcend our physical and intellectual barriers through advancements in cybernetics and nanotechnology could became a reality during this century. But would this be a blessing or a curse? As science expands its frontiers and technology continues to evolve, ideas once deemed fanciful or considered part of science fiction find themselves within the realm … Continue reading
