The development of brain-reading devices is a significant advancement with far-reaching implications. This technology allows researchers to decode ‘internal speech’, potentially revolutionizing how we interact with machines and each other. It could provide a voice to those unable to speak due to disabilities. However, ethical considerations are paramount, including privacy implications and the need for consent.

The new findings on chronic asthma highlight the role of cell overcrowding in airways, potentially shifting focus to addressing underlying causes rather than just symptoms. Recent research suggests that cell extrusion may be a key factor in asthma attacks, with potential for new drug therapies targeting this process. This research emphasizes the need for continued investment in scientific research to develop new treatments.

The Swiss National Science Foundation invested CHF 961 million in over 5,000 research projects in 2023, which demonstrates Switzerland's commitment to scientific excellence. However, some brilliant ideas are left unexplored due to financial limitations. We need more funding, diversity, and collaboration to ensure that every rejected proposal doesn't become a missed opportunity for innovation.

The Great Wall of China has some mysterious gaps that have puzzled historians for centuries. A new study reveals that they were caused by natural erosion and human activity, not by design or strategy. The researchers used satellite imagery and field surveys to map the wall and its surroundings. https://www.newsweek.com/ancient-grenades-discovered-along-great-wall-china-1835085 #greatwall #china #archaeology

Earth's gravity may be our best defence against large asteroids, a new study suggests. The study shows that Earth's strong gravity can break up asteroids before they hit the surface, reducing the risk of a global catastrophe. The researchers used computer simulations to model the effects of gravity on different types of asteroids. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/technology/earth-s-intense-gravity-is-built-in-defense-against-large-planet-killer-asteroids-study-suggests/ar-AA1m7cOI #earth #gravity #asteroids

Astronomers have discovered a hidden galaxy behind one of the closest galaxies to the Milky Way. The galaxy, called NGC 253-dw2, is a dwarf galaxy that is only visible when the light from the larger galaxy, NGC 253, is blocked by dust. This finding reveals the complex structure and history of our galactic neighbourhood. https://www.livescience.com/space #galaxy #dwarf #hidden

🍚🌾 Rice farming produces 12% of global methane emissions. That's more than 30 times as potent as CO2! But there are ways to reduce this impact, such as using rice straw for paper or MDF, or using machines that mulch the field instead of burning or flooding it. #rice #methane #innovation https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-04020-3

Misinformation campaigns driven by artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly sophisticated and pose a significant threat in today's digital landscape. These campaigns involve the use of AI algorithms and techniques to spread false information, manipulate public opinion, and create confusion among individuals. The need for nations to proactively identify and comprehend these tactics has never been more crucial.

The U.S. is betting big on clean hydrogen to cut emissions from heavy industry. The government has designated seven “Hydrogen Hubs” nationwide to share $7 billion in funds for green hydrogen projects. The hubs could create thousands of jobs, boost U.S. energy security and help the world reach net zero.

Humid heat can kill us much faster than we thought. A new study shows that humans can only tolerate a wet-bulb temperature of 31°C, not 35°C as previously assumed. This means that many regions could become uninhabitable sooner than expected due to climate change. #humidheat #climatechange #wetbulb https://nautil.us/humid-heat-can-kill-us-much-faster-than-we-thought-415997/?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

Zealandia, Earth’s hidden continent, was torn from supercontinent Gondwana in a flood of fire 100 million years ago. A new study reveals that a massive volcanic eruption triggered the breakup of Gondwana and the formation of Zealandia, which is mostly submerged under the Pacific Ocean. The study sheds light on the geologic history and evolution of Zealandia, which was only recognized as a continent in 2017. #Zealandia #Gondwana #LiveScience https://www.livescience.com/planet-earth/geology/zealandia-earths-hidden-continent-was-torn-from-supercontinent-gondwana-in-flood-of-fire-100-million-years-ago
