SUDC is different from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). SUDC is not a diagnosis but a cause of death used for someone between 12 months and 18 years old who has died from unknown circumstances. Elisabeth Haas, who has a master's in public h
High-powered electromagnetic radiation (EM), like microwaves, can compromise modern technology, including military chips fortified with special circuits, even at close range. These powerful waves can cause electrical interference in the chip and sign
A Northwestern University team has demonstrated a remarkable new way to generate electricity, with a paperback-sized device that nestles in soil and harvests power created as microbes break down dirt – for as long as there's carbon in the soil.
Bored Cow is introducing a new "animal free" fake milk made from whey protein called "ProFerm". It is made with sunflower oil which is an inflammatory seed oil that may be genetically modified.
Amorphous silicon carbide boasts a yield strength 10 times greater than Kevlar, renowned for its use in bulletproof vests. IF you could make duct tape out of Amorphous silicon carbide you would need to hang about ten medium-sized cars end-to-end off

Brian Wang and Randy Kirk have another video weekly review of the big stories in science, this episode takes a deep dive into the AI compute and the ramifications of the huge increases in compute that will be required.
Hundreds of thousands of troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq have sustained TBIs in recent decades, and these injuries are suspected of playing a role in the high rates of depression and suicide seen among military veterans. With mainstream treatm
Plants are famous for their ability to convert carbon dioxide from the air into chemical energy to fuel their growth. With way too much CO2 in the atmosphere already and more being blasted out every day, it's no wonder scientists are turning to thi
A new approach would use a magnetohydrodynamic electrolytic cell to extract and separate oxygen and hydrogen gas without moving parts in microgravity. This removes the need for a forced water recirculation loop and associated ancillary equipment such
When I wrote this in 2016, it largely fell on deaf ears. Now, not so much. When former UN climate tzar Christiana Figueres said in 2015 that there was an intention, timetable, and action plan in place to kill capitalism, she meant it. She was speakin
The SkyBus will be able to carry 40 passengers, with a nearly 5-ton payload capacity. With the first prototype expected in 2025, the SkyBus has a projected range of 625 miles, with a maximum speed of 185 mph. Lyte CEO Freshta Farzam says it will be f
While powerful stimulant medications remain the standard treatment for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the spice saffron has been found to offer comparable efficacy -- with the added benefit of better sleep
A groundbreaking study
Scientists at Ghent University in Belgium are experimenting with larva fat to replace butter in waffles, cakes and cookies, saying using grease from insects is more sustainable than dairy produce.
Almost 25 years since scientists first identified the difference in anesthetic sensitivity between males and females, new research suggests that sex hormones make men more responsive to this state of unconsciousness – and women far less so.
To investigate the impact of the intake of sugars from different sources on the risk of dementia, the research team analyzed dietary questionnaire data from 186,622 participants in the UK Biobank cohort. The questionnaire covered the consumption of 2
Like Worldcoin before them, Google and Canadian telco Telus are addressing the problem with cash incentives, via a new initiative that offers $50 to parents who are willing to film their kids so that their skin tone, eyelid shape and other biometric
It is hoped that parents, courts, laws, rules, the NCAA, etc., will rein in this kind of madness, but if folks do succeed in banning transgender men from women's sports (and we hope they do), we have dealt only with a symptom and not with its under
DARPA has selected Aurora Flight Sciences to build a full-scale X-plane to demonstrate the viability of using active flow control (AFC) actuators for primary flight control.
As noted by Spiked reporter Matt Ridley,1 "It is completely normal to start inquiries into mass deaths by asking how they happened - so that you can stop them happening again …"
HTD (Hydrogen terminated diamond) is a candidate topological Mott material. The ARPES measurements on HTD were done with low energy resolution of 100?meV and could not resolve a possible Dirac cone for which higher resolution ARPES measurements at
