Our digital world is bigger and more connected than ever. Social media isn’t just a daily habit — with more than 5 billion users globally, it’s woven into the very fabric of our existence. These platforms offer entertainment, connection, information, and support, but they’re also battlegrounds for misinformation and online harassment. Platforms like Facebook, YouTube, ...
In 2021, in partnership with BBC Radio, the School of Psychology at the University of Sussex conducted the most extensive study on kindness, dubbed “The Kindness Test.” About 60,000 people aged 19-44 from 144 countries participated in this study. The researchers wanted to know the most common acts of being kind, the relationship between being ...
It seems like we have free will. Most of the time, we are the ones who choose what we eat, how we tie our shoelaces, and what articles we read on The Conversation. However, the latest book by Stanford neurobiologist Robert Sapolsky, Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will,” has been receiving a lot ...
The islands of Southeast Asia record a long and dynamic human history of technological innovation, migration, and conflict through their rock art. The region’s rock art stretches back more than 45,000 years. It’s a unique source of information about this complex human past. But rock art doesn’t just record ancient history. Researchers have identified artwork ...
If you walk into a bar in Italy, you might be served a dish of salty, nutritious snacks: beans from lupins, a legume that has been eaten around the Mediterranean and in parts of the Middle East and Africa for thousands of years. Lupins are very high in protein and fiber, low in carbs, have ...
Researchers often think about how and when their results will be published. However, many research projects don’t see the light until decades (or even centuries) later, in the case of a thylacine brain, if at all. This is the case of a high-resolution atlas of the Tasmanian tiger or thylacine brain. Carefully processed over 140 ...
The wisdom shown in this conversation between a son and his mother is worthy of deep thought by all parents! Son: Mom, I can’t sleep, can you talk to me? Mom: Sure, what’s on your mind? Son: Are you satisfied with my grades? Mom: Are you satisfied with your own grades? Son: They’re not bad. ...
The motion of fluids in nature, including the flow of water in our oceans, the formation of tornadoes in our atmosphere, and the flux of air surrounding airplanes, have long been described and simulated by what are known as Navier-Stokes equations. Yet, mathematicians do not have a complete understanding of these equations. While they are ...
Swirling around the planet’s equator, the rings of Saturn are a dead giveaway that the planet is spinning at a tilt. The belted giant rotates at a 26.7-degree angle relative to the plane in which it orbits the sun. Astronomers have long suspected that this tilt comes from gravitational interactions with its neighbor Neptune, as ...
A new kind of “phase transition” in water was first proposed 30 years ago in a study by researchers from Boston University. Because the transition has been predicted to occur at supercooled conditions, however, confirming its existence has been a challenge. That’s because, at these low temperatures, water really does not want to be a ...
