There is a limit to adapting to heat: Israel needs to re-prepare for a hotter, more humid summer

  • No comments
Physiological studies show that the human body's ability to dissipate heat is already limited in milder conditions than previously assumed. Another Israeli study found that during summer days, an increase from 27 to 32 degrees was associated with
The Lion Nebula NGC 2392 has a bright core, pink rings, and a purple-blue envelope resembling a lion's mane.

A new infrared image of NGC 2392 shows a bubble of ionized gas, rings, and comet-like dust clumps around the hot core of a dying star. The nebula is expected to dissipate within about 10,000 years.
Two cryogenic cooling modules connected to IBM quantum computers

IBM has connected two modular quantum supercoolers on the way to systems of thousands of qubits

  • No comments
Both cooling modules have reached temperatures below 15 millikelvins and offer up to 12 times more wiring space than existing IBM systems. This is a demonstration of an infrastructure designed to enable the connection of many processors — not yet
Otp protein expression in hunger-related neurons in the mouse hypothalamus

The finger-on-the-fridge-door guard: A switch in the brain links stress, hunger, and metabolism

A study conducted in adult male mice at the Weizmann Institute of Science reveals that the Otp gene, known for its role in fetal brain development, continues to function in adulthood and helps regulate stress response, thyroid activity, and energy balance.
