Consciousness evolved in stages, starting with basic survival responses like pain and alarm, then expanding into focused awareness and self-reflection. These layers help organisms avoid danger, learn from the environment, and coordinate socially. Surprisingly, birds show many of these same traits, from subjective perception to basic self-awareness. This suggests consciousnessContinue Reading

During trajectory correction maneuvers for NASA’s twin ESCAPADE spacecraft on Dec. 8 and Dec. 12, the mission operations team noticed low thrust during the burn for one of the spacecraft. The team is working to identify the cause and will attempt a trajectory correction maneuver in the coming weeks. TheContinue Reading
NASA astronaut Zena Cardman processes samples and conducting research operations for a biotechnology experiment investigating methods to advance pharmaceutical manufacturing in microgravity. NASA Expedition 74 kicked off the week exploring robotics, physics, and heart health aboard the International Space Station. The orbital residents also continued packing a Japanese cargo craftContinue Reading
The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group – received more than £640,000 from fossil fuel companies and Rupert Murdoch’s media conglomerate between 1957 and 2005, DeSmog can reveal. Archive records seen by DeSmog show that the group, which has campaigned for more fossil fuel extractionContinue Reading
A year ago, as the world convulsed from Traitor 47’s victory in the U.S. presidential election, his allies were already identifying their next frontier. In December, the Heartland Institute hosted a private event in Mayfair, one of London’s wealthiest areas, to announce the launch of its new UK-Europe branch. TheContinue Reading
Kwigillingok, Alaska, has long grappled with erosion and flooding. Residents want to move to higher ground, further inland, especially after the remnants of Typhoon Halong damaged nearly every house. (Image credit: Claire Harbage)Continue Reading
A number of advanced energy technologies — including fuel cells, electrolyzers, and an emerging class of low-power electronics — use protons as the key charge carrier. Whether or not these devices will be widely adopted hinges, in part, on how efficiently they can move protons. One class of materials knownContinue Reading
