Computer models. Predicting. Empty thoughts…
Researchers have developed a technique in which a computer models visual perception by monitoring human brain signals. In a way, it is as if the computer tries to imagine what a human is thinking about. As a result of this imagining, the computer is able to produce entirely new information, such as fictional images that…

At the stars…
Already, climate change is having an impact on the conditions of space observation at the Very Large Telescope in the Atacama Desert. In future, new telescopes will have to be adapted to the expected changes, a new study. (1) I cannot see stars if it's raining. I cannot see the Sun if it's night. I…

Proofs. How can you prove it?
Eight years after he first shared it online, Kyoto University mathematician Shinichi Mochizuki's controversial, 600-page proof for a profound mathematical conjecture had been approved for publication in an academic journal. But there's a twist: academic mathematicians around the world didn't believe that Mochizuki solved the problem, known as the "abc conjecture," back then, Nature News…

Destroyed palace…
Researchers have uncovered new evidence that an earthquake may have caused the destruction and abandonment of a flourishing Canaanite palatial site about 3,700 years ago. (1) Ephemeral palaces. Ephemeral humans. Ephemeral Earth. Ephemeral universe. Search through that looking glass of life. Through the mirror of death. And see. What is left unchanged? But the rumbles…

Having a fever. Having a fever?
Measuring the temperature of objects at a nanometer-scale has been a long challenge, especially in living biological samples, because of the lack of precise and reliable nanothermometers. An international team of researchers has realized a quantum technology to probe temperature on a nanometer-scale, and have observed a 'fever' in tiny nematode worms under pharmacological treatment.…
