Examining the Competition Between Autonomous Vehicles and Public Transit

Game Theory, Mathematics, Science / Marcílio Santos

Recent rapid advancements in autonomous car technology have changed global transportation infrastructure and consumer behavior. As the number of autonomous cars increases across the globe, a rise in shared self-governing mobility on demand (AMoD) services is likely to follow. The issue of whether AMoD would coexist with or pose a threat to the public transportation […]

Are Telekinetic abilities the next step in human evolution?

Fringe Science, Philosophy, Science / Marcílio Santos

The human mind is an amazing entity; thanks to its 100 billion neurons, we are able to walk, talk, create, think, and grow, among countless other things. Humanity, on the other hand, motivates us to strive for more, push the limits of our cognitive capacity, and learn novel abilities. Telekinesis, which enables us to interact

Investigators from the United States Navy Discuss “Whether Cold Fusion or Low-Energy Nuclear Reactions”

Fringe Science, Philosophy, Science / Marcílio Santos

After more than three decades of simmering debate in specialized physics groups and cutting-edge research communities, the debate over cold fusion (also known as low-energy nuclear reactions or LENRs) refuses to die. From another present, ardent supporters have lacked the consistent, reproducible findings and theoretical basis that general acceptance requires. On the other hand, ardent

Heat: In the Northeast, high humidity will fuel severe thunderstorms.

Earth Science, Meteorology, Science / Marcílio Santos

According to AccuWeather meteorologists, the steamy air over the Northeast will help set the stage for daily rounds of heavy to severe electrical storms through the conclusion of the week. Anyone venturing outdoors in the neighborhood may believe they have been transported to Florida due to the excessive humidity levels that have made it feel

‘Airpocalypse’ Smoke Reaches North Pole for the Very First Time

Earth Science, Meteorology, Science / Marcílio Santos

Santa Claus isn’t expected to notice smoke. Misty smoke of raging Arctic wildfires has reached the North Pole for the first time in recorded history, and NASA satellites have photographs to prove it. On the sixth of August, NASA’s MODIS, a photographic sensor on the Aqua satellite, captured true-color images of a “vast, thick, acrid

The Confessions of Saint Augustin

Basic Research, Philosophy, Science / Ana Kiesse Zeleme

Bio of Saint-Augustin Augustine, who was born and raised at Thagaste, in eastern Algeria (then part of the Roman Empire), describes his boyhood surroundings as “wrong.” He portrays college as a questionable site of discovery, focused toward material rather than spiritual aspirations. Augustine leads a libertine life, indulges in sexual experiences, and lives according to

Neutrinos Transform the Universe: Researchers Validate the Theory

Computational Physics, Physics, Science / Marcílio Santos

In an international initially, an investigation team led by Kavli IPMU Principal Investigator Naoki Yoshida successfully conducted a 6-dimensional simulation of neutrinos travelling through the universe. The consequences of practically massless subatomic particles known as neutrinos on the creation of galaxies has long been a cosmic riddle, one that scientists have struggled to solve since

How Detailed, Venus’s- Flower-Baskets Manipulate the Flow of Seawater

Earth Science, Oceanography, Science / Marcílio Santos

Simulations reveal that this deep-sea glass sponge’s skeleton is more than simply pretty A Venus’s flower basket is not all just beautiful. This spectacular deep-sea sponge can also change the circulation of seawater in unusual ways. The sponge’s glassy skeleton is formed by a lacy, barrel-shaped chamber. Flow simulations show how this complex structure changes

The Natural Cycles in the Gulf of Alaska Accentuate Ocean Acidification

Earth Science, Oceanography, Science / Marcílio Santos

According to new study from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, changes in major wind and ocean circulation systems can briefly accelerate or reverse the rate of ocean acidification in the Gulf of Alaska. According to Claudine Hauri, a researcher at the UAF International Arctic Research Center, ocean acidification is typically viewed as a slow push
