NEW YORK CITY—Amidst rock music, a rap about consciousness, and the calling in of a 25-year-old drunken bet, camps backing two leading theories of how consciousness arises from the brain waited anxiously in a Greenwich village theater on Friday to hear who had won the first round of an ambitious “adversarial collaboration.” Three neutral judges chosen to help design the experiment and evaluate the results gave a qualified victory to advocates of the idea that…

Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Carbon markets have become a critical policy tool to combat climate change. They allow firms that emit greenhouse gases to buy and sell the right to pollute, which gives the firms flexibility while also reducing carbon emissions at the lowest cost. A patchwork of dozens of markets exists around the world, often with drastically different prices for carbon credits. In a new paper, a University…

Scientists are conducting a long-term experiment on evolution in the lab, to investigate how single-celled organisms could evolve into multicellular lifeforms. After thousands of generations, their yeast grew 20,000 times bigger and 10,000 times tougher.The idea of an evolutionary “missing link” usually conjures images of a hairy ape-like hominid, but there are actually much more profound missing links in the chain. One of the biggest gaps sits between single-celled and multicellular organisms, which marks a key step in…

How fast is the universe expanding? It depends on who you ask. Cast your gaze to the relatively nearby stars and galaxies that surround us in space, and you’ll arrive at a certain number for this value, known as the Hubble constant. But look into the far more distant universe, and you’ll get a slightly different number. This discrepancy, known as the Hubble tension, is small but carries weighty ramifications. The tension might simply be caused by flaws in our measurements—or it could be pointing to fundamental gaps in our…

Between 540 million and 485 million years ago, during the Cambrian period, so many new, complex animal life forms arose that paleontologists speak of the Cambrian Explosion or the Biological Big Bang. But by 400 million years ago, almost all of those species disappeared, eventually replaced by the ancestors of most modern animals. There have been few clues about what happened in between, but fossils from 462 million years ago recently discovered in a quarry in…

Samsung is in tough competition with TSMC for chip manufacturing orders on the advanced 3nm process. Its the company’s first semiconductor foundry node that utilizes the GAA-FET technology. Samsung had previously been relying on FinFET-based nodes for over a decade. The company said during an earnings call that its wafer yields are in the range of 60-70% during the development phases of the nodes. It seeks to inspire customers’ confidence in the technology. Samsung will certainly be hoping that this can lead to a…

Scientists have made progress in understanding the behavior of a strange metal called Y-ball, which is central to next-generation quantum materials and could drive future technologies. By using gamma rays in a synchrotron and Mossbauer spectroscopy, the researchers found unusual fluctuations in Y-ball’s electrical charge and discovered that these strange metals may pave the way for high-temperature superconductivity and other quantum applications.Physicists at Rutgers University have offered theoretical perspectives on an…

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, which is the body’s natural defense against infections and diseases. HIV can be transmitted through certain bodily fluids, such as blood, semen, vaginal fluids, and breast milk. If left untreated, HIV can lead to AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome), a condition where the immune system is severely compromised and unable to fight off infections and diseases.Scientists report lasting success in a novel method to cure HIV that involves…
