TEHRAN (FNA)- In the perhaps not so distant future, surgeons could perform a range of medical procedures all without touching the patient, thanks to advancements in 'acoustic tweezers'. Surgeons won't be shrunk and sent into the body like in the 1960s Sci-Fi, Fantastic Voyage, but could program a specialised array of mini-speakers to create an intricate sound field that 'traps' and manipulates selected objects in 'acoustic tweezers' for manipulation within tissue. Advancements in acoustic tweezers from Professor Bruce Drinkwater in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bristol, and his colleague Dr Asier Marzo, from Universidad Publica De ...

Krakatoa Alert: Another Eruption Could Potentially Kill Millions And Significantly Lower Global Temperatures For 5 Years The shell of our planet has been cracked Michael Snyder | End Of The American Dream - December 24, 2018 Image Credits: leahhelinski | Flickr. Because most Americans are so focused on preparations for Christmas, not a lot of attention is being paid to the massive disaster that just took place in Indonesia, and that is a huge mistake. Anak Krakatoa has sprung to life, and there is a reason why it is known as one of the most dangerous volcanoes on the entire planet. When Krakatoa erupted on August 27th, 1883 the explosion was so loud that it was literally heard 3,000 ...
Ancient Antarctic ice sheet collapse could happen again, triggering a new global flood

Phys.Org... It's happened before, and it could happen again. Tens of thousands of years ago, a giant ice sheet in Antarctic melted, raising sea levels by up to 30 feet around the world. This inundated huge swaths of what had been dry land. Scientists think it could happen again as the world heats up because of man-made global warming, new research suggests. Such a collapse would again cause seas to rise dramatically, which would lead to a global flood. Researchers led by geologist Anders Carlson of Oregon State University said the ice sheet disappeared about 125,000 years ago under climate conditions that were similar to today's. If future research confirms this finding, ...

The prestige of the intersectional is pushing respectable opinion in anti-science directions, as seen in the resurgent prestige of astrology and witchcraft. Granted, perhaps it doesn’t matter all that much what lowbrows who like horoscopes and spells are into, but it probably does matter that actual sciences such as genetics, which had been the glamour field of the new century, are starting to be castigated by the prestige press as deplorable “race science.” Until recently, the digital age had, on the whole, been a downer for enthusiasts of the paranormal. Equipping everybody at all times with pocket cameraphones has not resulted in an abundance of credible photos of UFOs ...

Not All NASA Advancements Make for Bold Headlines… But Some Could Positively Affect Our Lives Newsletter | 1 Comment Many of us who have been around a while remember some of the most historic moments in NASA history. Such as the first flyby of the moon by Pioneer 4 in 1959. And the first piloted Mercury spacecraft with Alan Shepard aboard Freedom 7 in 1961. We also recall John Glenn. He became the first American to circle the Earth aboard Friendship 7 in 1962. Plus Edward White performing the first American spacewalk in 1965. And perhaps the single greatest accomplishment in American space history. Neil Armstrong and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin walking on the moon in 1969. ...

Unintended consequences have included enlarged rabbit tongues and extra pig vertebrae, as bioethicists warn of hubris An experiment in China to change the colors of Merino sheep gave some spotted fleeces akin to a panda. The purported birth last month of the world’s first gene-edited human babies, claimed by a Chinese scientist, spurred a wave of global outrage. Scientists denounced the (as yet unconfirmed) experiment as irresponsible, and the development reinforced fears that the redesigning of DNA is moving ahead too fast and without necessary oversight. The proliferation of similar experiments on farm animals in recent years supports those concerns. Though rapid strides have ...
Large-scale eruption of Italy's supervolcano could impact global climate

The volcanic area west of Naples, Italy, known as Phlegrean Fields, is stirring with early signs of a new caldera cycle for one of the world's most menacing supervolcanoes, according to new research. Scientists are concerned a "potential reawakening" of the volcano is in store, according to a new study published in Science Advances. The largest known eruption of Phelgrean Fields, also called Campi Flegrei, occurred 200,000 years ago, darkening skies across Europe with volcanic ash. The eruption of Campi Flegrei, which means "Burning Fields" in Italian, led to significant changes in the global climate. According to a 2010 study published in Current Anthropology, ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- The first unbiased survey of protoplanetary disks surrounding young stars in the Taurus star-forming region turned up a higher-than-expected number of disks with features suggesting nascent planets, according to a new study. "Super-Earths" and Neptune-sized planets could be forming around young stars in much greater numbers than scientists thought, new research by an international team of astronomers suggests. Observing a sampling of young stars in a star-forming region in the constellation Taurus, researchers found many of them to be surrounded by structures that can best be explained as traces created by invisible, young planets in the making. The research, ...
Tucker Says Trump is Not Capable of Fixing the Country

Tucker Carlson gave a fascinating interview to Swiss media, which should really be read in its entirety. I will just pull a few bits here. Die Weltwoche: In your book you speak a lot about people who attack Trump, but you actually don’t say very much about Trump’s record. That’s true. Do you think he has kept his promises? Has he achieved his goals? No. He hasn’t? No. His chief promises were that he would build the wall, de-fund planned parenthood, and repeal Obamacare, and he hasn’t done any of those things. There are a lot of reasons for that, but since I finished writing the book, I’ve come to believe that Trump’s role is not as a ...

The ruling Jewish elite has struggled to attempt to make global warming into a popular issue, but it has obviously remained something that only an elite minority believes in, cares about or even thinks about. So when they cause a massive inconvenience to normal people’s lives in the name of this hoax, and the people revolt, the only actual solution is to lecture the people. At which point people are forced to ask what the point of a government is if it exists simply to lecture the population. No one is really all that interested in getting lectured, and people generally elect a government to promote the general interests of the population. And if the government is serving the ...

Report: Trump Plans to Push Forward With Space Force (Jerilee Bennett/AP) By Cathy Burke | Thursday, 29 November 2018 05:31 PM President Donald Trump plans to go ahead with asking Congress to establish a Space Force as an independent branch of the military — committing to the biggest restructuring of the U.S. military in seven decades, Politico reported Thursday. Citing a draft presidential directive, Politico reported the first details about the new military service indicate Trump, who has championed the standalone Space Force, is still interested in pursuing an entirely new branch, despite criticism on Capitol Hill and even initially, the Pentagon. According to Politico, the ...

The Human Genome Project, which began in the 1990s, was Homo sapiens’ successful attempt to map out the entirety of our species’ DNA. It produced the human reference genome, a finely polished collection of human DNA that’s crucial for genetics research and genetics testing services around the world. Integral as it has been to the science community, two researchers at Johns Hopkins University have discovered that the reference genome is missing a piece or two — well, 296,485,284 base pairs of DNA, to be exact. The reference genome is an essential map of human genetic material that is used as a basis for comparison. When we sequence our own DNA for insight into health, ...

There’s a moment near the end of Ayn Rand’s mostly brilliant Atlas Shrugged where she details the unveiling of various government-funded boondoggles whose development we track as the story unfolds. All of them end in tragedy and mass death. From trains asphyxiating their passengers to sonic weapons killing spectators, the hubris and ineptitude of the rentier class which took over the U.S. government was on display in all its glory. So, every time I see some hare-brained idea in service of a politically-motivated lie I just look at my wife, shake my head and say, “Act III, Atlas Shrugged, hon.” The latest is the patently insane idea of dimming the sun by dispersing ...

PMF... Your new neighbor has an unencrypted WiFi signal with no log-in showing on your drop down list of local internet WiFi providers. Did she forget to turn on encryption or is she just technically retarded to figure it out? She could be ignorant of how to turn on encryption, but it may be something else. 1 Is this open WiFi signal a "honey pot" to grab credit card data? 2. Maybe it is a police sting to catch data theft? 3. Is it a counter-intelligence operation to monitor internet activity of a suspected intel agent? 4.

Is it possible to tell whether someone is a criminal just from looking at their face or listening to the sound of their voice? The idea may seem ludicrous, like something out of science fiction — Big Brother in “1984” detects any unconscious look “that carried with it the suggestion of abnormality” — and yet, some companies have recently begun to answer this question in the affirmative. AC Global Risk, a startup founded in 2016, claims to be able to determine your level of “risk” as an employee or an asylum-seeker based not on what you say, but how you say it. The California-based company offers an automated screening system known as a Remote Risk ...

Scientists surveyed the genetic 'bar codes' of five million animals - including humans - from 100,000 different species and deduced that we sprang from a single pair of adults after a catastrophic event almost wiped out the human race. These bar codes, or snippets of DNA that reside outside the nuclei of living cells, suggest that it's ...
Russia space agency chief: We’ll verify US moon landings

MOSCOW (AP) — The head of Russia’s Roscosmos space agency has said that a proposed Russian mission to the moon will be tasked with verifying that the American moon landings were real. “We have set this objective to fly and verify whether they’ve been there or not,” said Dmitry Rogozin in a video posted Saturday on Twitter. Rogozin was responding to a question about whether or not NASA actually landed on the moon nearly 50 years ago. He appeared to be joking, as he smirked and shrugged while answering. But conspiracies surrounding NASA’s moon missions are common in Russia. The Soviet Union abandoned its lunar program in the mid-1970s after four experimental ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Researchers have designed neural circuits reproducing dynamic reconfiguration behaviors of the brain. One of the most important and surprising traits of the brain is its ability to reconfigure dynamically the connections to process and respond properly to stimuli. Researchers from Tohoku University (Sendai, Japan) and the University of Barcelona, using neuroengineering tools, have created in vitro neural circuits that reproduce the capacity of segregation and integration of brain circuits and which allow researchers to understand the keys of dynamic reconfiguration. The study has been published in Science Advances. Dynamic reconfiguration is understood as the strengthening ...

TEHRAN (FNA)- Humans think using their brain's navigation system: Researchers combine individual threads of evidence to form a theory of human thinking. It is one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience: How do humans think? Until recently, we seemed far from a conclusive answer. However, scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences (MPI CBS) in Leipzig, Germany, and the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Trondheim, Norway, among them Nobel prize laureate Edvard I. Moser, offer a new proposal in the current issue of the journal Science-- Humans think using their brain's navigation system. When we navigate our environment, two ...
