Is Moving to Mars a Good Idea?
The idea of starting life anew on Mars has been well-researched and studied by many experts and scientists. While there are many things to work out, seeing this idea in action seems more doable every year, especially with all the money and resources that people are willing to put into it. While the science of […]
The Deconstruction of Smartphones As A Status Symbol
Every Spring and Fall season, like clockwork, phone manufacturers roll out the newest model. People race to buy it, even if their current phone still works fine. It’s not always about better features — it’s often about feeling like you fit in. Having the newest phone tells the world you’ve got money, taste and status. […]
AI Joins the Fight Against Mosquito-Borne Diseases
Of all the applications that AI can be used for, insect tracking is something that is most unexpected. Research and development has been done with AI to incorporate it against the ever-present issues of diseases found with mosquitoes. In continents like Africa, mosquitoes pose a significant danger to animals and people, as their bodies often […]
The Endangered Axolotl Might be Saved by New Discovery
The efforts that people make to save endangered species have always been huge undertakings, as losing an animal to extinction is tough to see. Sometimes, it almost seems like certain species are doomed to die off, which was the concerning theory for the longest time when it comes to the axolotl. Now, there is hope […]
Microchips in Brains Might be Too Far
The thought of implanting robotic enhancements into our bodies has always been a concept of science fiction, but things like Neuralink and other projects hit us with the realization that this is now a possibility. More specifically, putting a microchip into our brains is in early development and might be something that allures interest. However, […]
The Blue Origin Space Flight and Its Questionable Optics
When talking about the recent developments of space travel and its technology, we are often contemplating the future of discovery that lies throughout the stars and what new boundaries humanity is ready to break. However, it seems that the recent space flight of an all-female crew has generated discussions that are more about representation than […]
The Potential Applications of Memory Manipulation
The idea of having complete control of your very thoughts and memories is a concept included in many sci-fi movies and fantasy, but it might become a reality. Neuroscientists have begun experimenting with implants for the brain to produce electric activity that will help with controlling memories. Strengthening memories is the obvious benefit of this […]
