Hints of a Hidden Structure Detected at The Edge of The Solar System
https://www.sciencealert.com/hints-of-a-hidden-structure-detected-at-the-edge-of-the-solar-system
If you travel far enough away from the Sun, the Solar System becomes a lot more populated.
Out past the orbit of Neptune lies the Kuiper Belt, a vast, ring-shaped field of icy rocks. This is where Pluto resides, and Arrokoth, and countless other small objects in the cold and the dark.

This finding sheds light on the deep-seated neural mechanisms that distinguish romantic relationships from friendships.

A recent study published in the journal Brain and Cognition has found that creativity is linked with a reduced brain response to unusual, or “oddball,” stimuli. This suggests that creative individuals process the importance of surprising information differently, which may help explain their unique thinking patterns. This diminished brain response might enable creative individuals to access a broader range of information.

The future was not combustion, but the detonation engine
https://www.ecoticias.com/en/hawking-prediction-detonation-engine/5439/
There was a time when Stephen Hawking’s predictions were greeted with skepticism. (Not surprisingly, as it also happened to Newton). However, over the decades, they have been proven—almost all of them, except one that seemed impossible. Do you know which one we are talking about? The physicist never believed in combustion engines and pointed to something very different: the detonation engine. A group of engineers has created the first one, with a prototype that works, breaking the laws of the universe.

NASA Citizen Scientists Spot Object Moving 1 Million Miles Per Hour
https://science.nasa.gov/get-involved/citizen-science/nasa-citizen-scientists-spot-object-moving-1-million-miles-per-hour/
Most familiar stars peacefully orbit the center of the Milky Way. But citizen scientists working on NASA’s Backyard Worlds: Planet 9 project have helped discover an object moving so fast that it will escape the Milky Way’s gravity and shoot into intergalactic space. This hypervelocity object is the first such object found with the mass similar to or less than that of a small star.

iPhone 16: all the leaks and rumors about Apple’s next smartphone
https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/17/24222355/iphone-16-rumors-leaks-cameras
Apple should be spinning up the iPhone 16 line soon, and while rumors about its phones don’t tend to leak like certain other phones I know, some details have trickled out of the halls of Cupertino and its supply chain. Physically, we mostly expect them to look, well, like iPhones, but as the first new Apple smartphones after the WWDC debut of Apple Intelligence, the changes could be more than meets the eye.

When you learn a new skill, like playing the piano or mastering a golf swing, you might have heard that “practice makes perfect.” But according to a new study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, the timing of your sleep could be just as important as the practice itself. Researchers found that motor memories—our brain’s way of holding on to skills and actions—are not just consolidated over time, but they can be significantly enhanced when sleep closely follows practice.

Linux 6.11-rc3 Boosts Intel EMR Performance, Fixes 32-bit PTI For Meltdown
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.11-rc3-Released
Linus Torvalds released Linux 6.11-rc3 a few minutes ago as the latest weekly release candidate.
The Linux 6.11 kernel continues tracking for a release in mid-September. Linus Torvalds wrote in today's 6.11-rc3 announcement:
"Nothing particularly strange or interesting going on, things look normal.
Half the changes are to drivers (all the usual suspects: sound, gpu, and networking are big, but we have usb and other misc driver fixes there too).
The rest is the usual random mix, with filesystem fixes (bcachefs, btrfs, smb), architecture fixes (arm64, loongarch, x86), documentation, and networking. And some core kernel and tooling fixlets too."

Surprising Insights Into the Origins of Matter in the Early Universe
https://scitechdaily.com/shattering-big-bang-myths-surprising-insights-into-the-origins-of-matter-in-the-early-universe/
New calculations show that up to 70% of certain particles may originate from later reactions rather than the initial quark-gluon soup formed just after the Big Bang. This discovery challenges previous assumptions about the timeline of matter formation and suggests that much of the matter around us formed later than expected. By understanding these processes, scientists can better interpret the results of collider experiments and refine their knowledge of the universe’s origins.
