Oh imagine that. Two diseases created in labs by the government, and released on the public without or knowledge, that have similar long term affects. I'm stunned.

Due to come online this year, the JUNO facility will help to determine which type of neutrino has the highest mass — one of the biggest mysteries in physics.

How much do babies remember?
People have no memories from before about three years old, and no one knows why. “It’s a paradox in a sense,” says neuroscientist Flavio Donato. “In the moment that the brain is learning at a rate it will never show again during the whole lifetime, those memories seem not to stick in the brain.” New research suggests that maybe those memories aren’t gone after all — we just can’t consciously access them.2 -

Cargo ship saved infinite amount of fuel on every voyage. 🤣

Webb’s image covers a patch of sky approximately the size of a grain of sand held at arm’s length by someone on the ground – and reveals thousands of galaxies in a tiny sliver of vast universe
Webb’s sharp near-infrared view brought out faint structures in extremely distant galaxies, offering the most detailed view of the early universe to date
...
Light from these galaxies took billions of years to reach us. We are looking back in time to within a billion years after the big bang when viewing the youngest galaxies in this field. The light was stretched by the expansion of the universe to infrared wavelengths that Webb was designed to observe. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions.Other features include the prominent arcs in this field. The powerful gravitational field of a galaxy cluster can bend the light rays from more distant galaxies behind it, just as a magnifying glass bends and warps images. Stars are also captured with prominent diffraction spikes, as they appear brighter at shorter wavelengths.
Webb’s MIRI image offers a kaleidoscope of colors and highlights where the dust is – a major ingredient for star formation, and ultimately life itself. Blue galaxies contain stars, but very little dust. The red objects in this field are enshrouded in thick layers of dust. Green galaxies are populated with hydrocarbons and other chemical compounds. Researchers will be able to use data like these to understand how galaxies form, grow, and merge with each other, and in some cases why they stop forming stars altogether.

This computer model of a cross-section of an ant’s brain highlights structures called mushroom bodies (the pair of branching structures (magenta) topped by the mushroom shapes (green)), which are involved in learning and orientation. New research suggests that may be where the ant processes navigational cues from Earth’s magnetic field.
