The Quest for the Astrophysical Gravitational-Wave Background with Terrestrial Detectors
Posted by Dan Breeden in category: futurism
We present the gravitational-wave background and its properties focusing on the background from compact binary coalescences in terrestrial detectors. We also introduce the standard data analysis method used to search for this background and discuss its detectability with second and third generation networks of detectors. To illustrate, we first use simple models and then discuss more realistic models based on simulations.

Neural Pathways of Navigation Identified
Posted by Genevieve Klien in categories: futurism, neuroscience
Summary: A new study illuminated how fruit flies navigate by revealing the communication between their internal compass and steering brain regions. This study shows that three distinct neuron groups translate directional signals into corrective actions, allowing fruit flies to adjust their course effectively.
These findings not only deepen our understanding of navigation in simpler organisms but also lay the groundwork for future research into the neural basis of behavior in more complex species, including humans.
By exploring the intricacies of fruit fly brains, scientists have uncovered fundamental principles of cognitive processing and behavior adjustment, offering insights into how internal cognitive states like direction sense are converted into tangible actions.

Extracting lithium from California’s Salton Sea for use in batteries.
California’s toxic Salton Sea has enough lithium to make the U.S. self-sufficient in the mineral, which is a key component of rechargeable batteries. WSJ explores the tech being developed to extract it—and what it means for the future of domestic production. Photo: Kaitlyn Wang.
