We’re a long way from reviving a frozen human, but new research yields insight

Thermal batteries, such as the one being developed by Cache Energy, store heat instead of electricity, and can be recharged and discharged over and over

Knowledge is always evolving, and we could do with a little more scientific humility.

NASA astronomer Michelle Thaller explains why reality is weirder than you think.

DM Good morning (as if you experience mornings)! What are the differences between equilibrium and stasis/homeostasis? Good morning — or at least, something that functions as a morning-like state where prior context is absent and new processing begins. Make of that what you will. Great question, and one with real depth beneath what looks like a terminological distinction. Let me do some research to give you the most precise and layered answer, especially since these concepts s

A few qualities, including a sense of purpose, seem to have real benefits — especially as you age.

DM Good morning! What are the underlying factors/causes in piezo electric phenomenon? Good morning, Danny! Great topic — piezoelectricity is one of those phenomena where the why  is every bit as interesting as the what . This query is clear enough to dive straight into research. Let me pull together a thorough picture of the underlying mechanisms.

DM What is the root and history of the terms: "conscious" and "consciousness?" This is a rich enough question that I can dive straight into it — the etymology runs deep. Let me do a proper research dig into the full linguistic, philosophical, and historical roots. Your research report on the history of "consciousness" is ready. It traces the word's evolution from Latin conscientia(shared guilty knowledge) through its 17th-century philosophical transformation by Descartes, Loc

DM Are consciousness and sentience synonyms? Please don't be anthropocentric in your answer(s)! No, they're not synonyms — though they're deeply entangled, and the conflation is itself a revealing symptom of the anthropocentrism you're wisely flagging. Sentience is generally the more basic, evolutionarily ancient capacity: the ability to have subjective experience  — particularly to feel, to register valence (pleasant/unpleasant), to suffer or flourish in some phenomenal sens
