Introducing AI Central - Vox PopoliAs I did some years ago with Alpha Game, and as I have done with Sigma Game and Castalia Library, I have created a new site to host posts and discussions related to artificial intelligence and its use in producing music, illustrations, text, and video in order to avoid monopolizing the discourse here where most […]

Scientists Discover Startling Trick to Defeat InsomniaInsomnia is a curse we wouldn't wish on our worst enemy — and scientists have discovered a shockingly simple trick to help prevent it.

Tiny and toxic: Researchers track smaller air pollution particles across US skiesAir pollution causes health problems and is attributable to some 50,000 annual deaths in the United States, but not all air pollutants pack the same punch.

Bacteria living in your gut may cause depression, not your brain, says a new studyAs strange as this may sound, scientists believe that at least one type of bacteria in your gut actually causes depression, not your brain.

‘World’s Richest Shipwreck’ With Treasure Worth Billions Identified By Gold CoinsIn an epic archeological discovery, a team has verified that the legendary Spanish galleon San Jose is the long-proclaimed richest shipwreck in the wo

Cesspit shows songbirds served hot and flat as first-century street-foodThe Mediterranean Institute for Advanced Studies (UIB-CSIC) reports that thrush bones discarded in a Roman cesspit at Pollentia reveal the songbirds were routine street food rather than an elite rarity.

NASA’s red planet rover shares a cool close-up of Mars mudCuriosity is still digging away in a place far, far from Earth.

Webb space telescope reveals starburst galaxies that lit up the early universeData from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has revealed dozens of small galaxies that played a starring role in a cosmic makeover that transformed the early universe into the one we know today.

Stuff for June 17 2025.pdf

Cycling Linked to Lower Risk of Dementia, Study of Half a Million FindsGetting from A to B on a bicycle more often could reduce risk of dementia, possibly by protecting a part of the brain tied to memory functions, new research finds.

CRISPR-edited stem cells reveal hidden causes of autismA team at Kobe University has created a game-changing resource for autism research: 63 mouse embryonic stem cell lines, each carrying a genetic mutation strongly associated with the disorder. By pairing classic stem cell manipulation with precise CRISPR gene editing, they ve built a standardized platform that mirrors autism-linked genetic conditions in mice. These models not only replicate autism-related traits but also expose key dysfunctions, like the brain s inability to clean up faulty proteins.

Doctors Say You Can Go Ahead and Slap a Nicotine Patch on for Some Extra FocusPeople who struggle with concentration can, according to some doctors, have a nicotine patch or piece of gum as a treat.

'Dark' personality traits thrive in societies with corruption and inequality, global study showsA new global study shows that people in societies characterized by corruption, inequality, poverty, and violence are more likely to develop aversive, "dark" personality characteristics such as selfishness or spitefulness.

Neandertals invented bone-tipped spears all on their ownAn 80,000-year-old bone point found in Eastern Europe challenges the idea that migrating Homo sapiens gave the technology to Neandertals.

Humans Have Smoked Meat For Almost 2 Million Years, Study SuggestsLong before the days of electricity and fridge freezers, meat was preserved by smoke.

Do Wasps Make Honey? - Beekeeping 101Do wasps make honey? Find out the answer to this question and the other interesting benefits of wasps that make them worth learning about.

Strange radio pulses detected coming from ice in AntarcticaA cosmic particle detector in Antarctica has detected a series of bizarre signals that defy the current understanding of particle physics, according to an international research group that includes scientists from Penn State. The unusual radio pulses were detected by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment, a range of instruments flown on balloons high above Antarctica that are designed to detect radio waves from cosmic rays hitting the atmosphere.

Ocean acidification may have crossed 'planetary boundary' five years agoA team of planetary scientists, ecologists, and marine biologists affiliated with several institutions in the U.S. and one in the U.K., has found evidence suggesting that parts of the world's oceans have already passed what has come to be known as a planetary boundary.

Increased forest fires due to climate change could alter oceanic CO₂ absorptionForest fires are a fundamental force in Earth's dynamics with a direct impact on human health, food security, and biodiversity. From air quality to landscape configuration and resource availability, the consequences of fire have influenced the development of society throughout history. Their effects on the oceans, though less known, are equally significant.
