🚨 Scientists just created PRINTED artificial neurons that can communicate with living brain cells. This is one of the clearest signs yet that biology and technology are starting to merge. Researchers at Northwestern University developed soft, flexible electronic neurons that: • fire brain-like electrical signals • mimic real neuron behavior • activate living mouse brain cells • can be printed onto flexible materials Why this matters: Today’s AI systems consume enormous amounts of energy. But the human brain is vastly more efficient. So scientists are now trying to build computing systems that work more like biology itself. These artificial neurons can: • spike like real neurons • generate bursts of activity • adapt dynamically • communicate on biologically realistic timescales And unlike rigid silicon chips… they are soft, flexible, and designed to interact directly with living tissue. This could eventually lead to: • advanced neuroprosthetics • brain-machine interfaces • artificial nerves • next-generation AI hardware • medical implants that communicate naturally with the nervous system The most fascinating part: Humanity may be entering an era where machines no longer just simulate intelligence… they begin integrating with the same electrical language used by the brain itself. The line between biology and technology is starting to blur. Follow for more future physics and technology breakthroughs.
Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.
Long before the world celebrated warrior queens, there was Cynane. Born around 357 BC, Cynane was a Macedonian princess, the daughter of King Philip II and the half-sister of Alexander the Great. Yet unlike most royal women of her era, she was not raised to stand quietly behind powerful men. Her mother, Audata, was an Illyrian princess from a culture where women were expected to ride, hunt, and fight. Cynane grew up learning skills that were usually reserved for men: horsemanship, weapons training, military strategy, and survival. She would become one of the ancient world's most extraordinary female warriors. Ancient sources describe Cynane not as a symbolic figurehead but as a woman who fought in battle herself. During a campaign against the Illyrians, she reportedly faced Queen Caeria in combat and killed her, helping secure victory for Macedon. In an age when women were often excluded from military life, Cynane earned respect from hardened soldiers by proving she could do what few others dared. Her life was marked by personal loss as well as courage. Philip II arranged her marriage to Amyntas IV, a royal relative with a claim to the Macedonian throne. Together they had a daughter, Adea. But when Alexander seized power after Philip's assassination, Amyntas was executed as a political rival. Cynane was widowed while still young. Many royal women would have disappeared into the background after such a tragedy. Cynane did the opposite. She refused to remarry and instead devoted herself to raising her daughter as she had been raised: strong, educated, and skilled in warfare. She believed women could wield power, and she intended for her daughter to prove it. When Alexander the Great died suddenly in 323 BCE, his vast empire erupted into chaos. Generals, nobles, and rival factions scrambled for control. Cynane recognized that the future of the dynasty was hanging by a thread. Taking matters into her own hands, she armed an escort and marched across the empire to arrange a marriage between her daughter and Philip III Arrhidaeus, Alexander's half-brother and the new king. It was a bold political gamble—and a dangerous one. The powerful regent Perdiccas saw Cynane as a threat to his ambitions. He ordered his brother Alcetas to stop her. Cynane was murdered before she could complete her mission. But even in death, she won. The Macedonian soldiers were outraged by the killing of a princess they admired and a warrior they respected. Fearing revolt, the generals approved the marriage Cynane had fought to secure. Her daughter, renamed Eurydice, became Queen of Macedon and emerged as a major political force in her own right. History remembers Alexander as the conqueror who built an empire. Yet Cynane achieved something just as remarkable in a world determined to silence women: she commanded soldiers, fought on battlefields, shaped royal succession, and forced powerful men to reckon with her influence. More than 2,300 years later, her story remains a reminder that some women refused to accept the roles history assigned them—and changed history because of it. #archaeohistories
Join us on TODAY, May 28, at 2:30 PM PT for the next episode of #SETILive, hosted by Dr. Lauren Sgro, featuring special guest Dr. Adam C. Schneider (United States Naval Observatory). What happens when hundreds of thousands of volunteers team up with NASA to explore the sky? In the case of Backyard Worlds: Planet 9, thousands of new brown dwarfs. NASA citizen scientists have helped discover more than 3,000 brown dwarfs, effectively doubling the known population of these mysterious objects over the past decade. These discoveries are helping astronomers better understand the boundary between planets and stars, revealing rare ultra-cool worlds, extreme T subdwarfs, and even brown dwarfs that may host aurorae. Lauren and Adam will discuss how citizen scientists made these discoveries, why brown dwarfs are so difficult to detect, and what this growing catalog is teaching us about our galactic neighborhood. Bring your questions for the live Q&A: youtube.com/live/_kROzAny2…
A New York City gallery has transformed 3.5 million Epstein files into nearly 3,500 printed volumes — creating what organizers call the “Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room” in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood.
Rep. @AOC: Corporations are absolutely poisoning the American people and they are absolutely buying off Congress and the Presidential administration to get away with it. Glyphosate and Roundup is one of the big scandals of our time.
104 skydivers, 20 nations, and one beautiful world record breaking moment.
The Trump administration’s “God Squad” is letting oil and gas companies bypass Endangered Species Act protections in the Gulf of Mexico, opening a loophole in one of our strongest environmental protections and putting imperiled species at greater risk. Speak up and make your voice heard: on.nrdc.org/4m9tEBC
Obama: “The president shouldn’t have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in.” Trump has raked in at least $4 billion since taking office, which is why he’s widely recognized as the most corrupt president in American history.
Our media is controlled by just a handful of billionaires and their corporations. And Trump is making things even worse. Here's how we stop it.
