I was sent this news item, Air Force To Use Wyoming-Made Portable Nuclear Reactors To Power Bases, with the comment that this plan is reckless because it puts nuclear reactors in war zones. I disagree, however. Let’s take a look at the details. The background is that a company in Wyoming is planning to build […] The post Mini-Nuclear Reactors first appeared on NeuroLogica Blog.

Charting The Brain’s Decision-Making

Researchers have just presented the results of a collaboration among 22 neuroscience labs mapping the activity of the mouse brain down to the individual cell. The goal was to see brain activity during decision-making. Here is a summary of their findings: “Representations of visual stimuli transiently appeared in classical visual areas after stimulus onset and […] The post Charting The Brain’s Decision-Making first appeared on NeuroLogica Blog.

Detecting Online Predatory Journals

The World Wide Web has proven to be a transformative communication technology (we are using it right now). At the same time there have been some rather negative unforeseen consequences. Significantly lowering the threshold for establishing a communications outlet has democratized content creation and allows users unprecedented access to information from around the world. But […] The post Detecting Online Predatory Journals first appeared on NeuroLogica Blog.

Brightest Fast Radio Burst Discovered

The universe is a big place, and it is full of mysteries. Really bright objects, that can be seen from millions or even billions of light years away, can therefore be found, even if they are extremely rare. This is true of fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are extremely bright and very brief flashes of […] The post Brightest Fast Radio Burst Discovered first appeared on NeuroLogica Blog.

A New Way to Watch Foreign Language Films

Watch this movie trailer before reading on. What did you think? This is an independent Swedish film, originally filmed in Swedish, and then dubbed into English.

For those of you living in a luddite cave, Chat-GPT is one of the new artificial intelligence (AI) applications known as an LLM, or large language model.

So far this year, fires have burned more than 1.5 million acres across northern Portugal and northwest Spain, killing eight people and forcing tens of thousands to evacuate. The bulk of the wildfires coincided with a brutal heat wave in August, the most intense on record in Spain, which helped set the stage for the devastating burns, experts say.  Read more on E360 →

What Is the Fourier Transform?

Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform, decomposes any function into its parts. The post What Is the Fourier Transform? first appeared on Quanta Magazine
