Scientists have uncovered a stepwise system that guides how the brain sorts and stabilizes lasting memories. By tracking brain activity during virtual reality learning tasks, researchers identified molecules that influence how long memories persist. Each molecule operates on a different timescale, forming a coordinated pattern of memory maintenance. The discoveries reshape how scientists understand memory […]
Researchers caution that U.S. data centers may consume significant amounts of energy and water, potentially matching the usage of 10 million Americans by the end of the decade, unless stricter regulations are implemented to manage the industry’s expansion. Source: Yale E360
Researchers have discovered that chiral skyrmions, unique particle-like spin textures in magnetic materials, can be manipulated by electrons. First identified in 2009, these skyrmions can be created and controlled at room temperature, offering potential advancements in nanoscale logic devices.

A new artificial intelligence startup founded by the creators of the world's most widely used computer vision library has emerged from stealth with technology that generates realistic human-centric videos up to five minutes long — a dramatic leap beyond the capabilities of rivals including OpenAI's Sora and Google's Veo.CraftStory, which launched Tuesday with $2 million
Alyssa Yockey supports the International Space Station from NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston as a flight lead at the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory. The Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory is one of the world’s largest indoor pools where astronauts and support teams conduct trainings and other large-scale operations, both in the water and on the pool deck.
Tech companies are increasingly relying on natural gas to power the expanding number of data centers in the U.S. However, Jigar Shah, a former Energy Department official, advocates for the installation of batteries as a more effective solution. He argues that batteries can help balance the grid, reduce electricity costs, and enhance the use of
Scientists are studying how GLP-1 drugs, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, affect brain areas that regulate hunger, nausea, pleasure-based eating, and thirst. Their findings could lead to new treatments that maintain weight loss benefits while minimizing adverse side effects. Source: All Top News — ScienceDaily
Lightfield, a customer relationship management platform built entirely around artificial intelligence, officially launched to the public this week after a year of quiet development — a bold pivot by a startup that once had 20 million users and $43 million in the bank building something completely different.The San Francisco-based company is positioning itself as a
NASA astronaut Jonny Kim poses for a portrait with the American flag inside the International Space Station’s “window to the world,” the cupola.NASA In 2025, NASA and its international partners celebrate 25 years of continuous human presence aboard the International Space Station. Since November 2, 2000, more than 290 people from 26 countries have lived
Scientists have utilized CRISPR technology to enhance a fungus known for its meat-like qualities. The modified strain grows protein more rapidly and with less sugar, while significantly reducing emissions. Additionally, it demonstrates better land use and water impact compared to chicken farming.
