Breaking waves on the surface of the heartbeat star MACHO 80.7443.1718

Posted by in category: futurism

Tides on the star MACHO 80.7443.1718 are so extreme that they crash and break every close passage in the pair of stars’ elliptical orbit. Models show how these breaking tidal waves create a rapidly rotating, shock-heated circumstellar atmosphere every periapse passage.

This advanced zinc-air battery can further electric mobility

Posted by in categories: energy, futurism

Researchers use a mix of less expensive, safer, and sustainably available components to create long-lasting bi-functional air electrodes.

We have all heard the line; the future is electric. But are we fully equipped to handle a full-scale transition to all-electric power? One thing standing in the way is the lack of cleaner and more affordable battery technologies to store energy.

Compared to commonly used Lithium-ion cells facing challenges related to cost, finite resources, and safety concerns, rechargeable zinc-air batteries (ZABs) are pitched as cost-effective energy storage devices and display high-energy density, especially for application in EVs.

Memory’s Future Focus: It’s Not Just What, but Why We Remember

Posted by in categories: futurism, neuroscience

Summary: Our ability to process sentences relies on the dynamic nature of working memory, where information is stored and integrated with our future intentions.

New research reveals that visual memories adapt according to our future use of that information. These findings challenge conventional theories arguing that our working memory’s neural codes remain unchanged over time.
