(Also, tech titans like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates have strategies for restricting their children's screen time.). Why? Because in the future, there will undoubtedly be two kinds of people in the world:...

The research is based on the assumption that men have been fighters for so long that evolution has chosen those best equipped for the task. If men combated other men, winners would have survived and reproduced, losers not...
Olduvai stone chopping tool, made from basalt, from Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, 1.8-2 million years old. British Museum (1934,1214.1). Credit: BabelStone / Wikimedia. Electronics, airplanes, internal combustion engines, and the wheel are the descendants of a far more rudimentary technology: stone tools. Early stone tools can seem simple. However, their creation represents a massive landmark in...
A small implant that wraps around nerves and cools them has been shown to deliver targeted pain relief in rats. If it is as safe and reliable in human beings, the "nerve cooler" could assist individuals in managing pain without addicting opioids. Why it is crucial Approximately 20% of Americans live with chronic pain, and millions...
Credit: Allard Mosk/Matthias Kühmayer We can see things because light bounces off of them. Scientists say they have discovered a manner to make light pass directly via things-- the secret to invisibility. Invisibility is not science fiction anymore. Researchers have developed a single light wave that, when emitted via an item, makes the item appear invisible...
A European consortium, EuroFusion, has taken an essential step on the long road to commercially viable nuclear fusion. The consortium just revealed the beginning of a five-year "conceptual design" stage for its DEMOnstration power plant (DEMO), a press statement reveals. This means nuclear fusion researchers are starting design work on a European demonstration power station that...
A report states that Tesla and Honda's self-driving cars had 363 accidents in a year. We were assured a very near future where autonomous machines would be serving our demands and vehicle ownership would be rendered unneeded: robots would rapidly and effectively deliver our orders, and we might squeeze in a couple of more hours...
A wonder of engineering, Webb is able to gaze further into the cosmos than any telescope before it thanks to its enormous primary mirror and its instruments that focus on infrared, allowing it peer through dust and gas. NASA administrator Bill Nelson stated Wednesday that the agency will reveal the "inmost picture of our universe...
A new research study examines how getting sufficient sleep affects caloric intake in a real-world setting. Understanding the fundamental causes of obesity and how to stop it is the best means to fight the obesity epidemic, according to Esra Tasali, MD, Director of the UChicago Sleep Center at the University of Chicago Medicine. "The present...
Discovered in 1950, this galaxy is known as Hoag's object, and is the first known instance of a ring galaxy. It's highly unusual, with an elliptical, very red center, a large gap between the nucleus and the outer ring, and the blue, young stars in the outer ring have no identifiable trigger leading to...
