Civil war has broken out in the field of consciousness research. More than 100 consciousness researchers have signed a letter accusing one of the most popular scientific theories of consciousness – the integrated information theory – of being pseudoscience....
New research - and a world-first experimental result - display the potential for using quantum technology to explore new designs in material science, drugs or solar energy harvesting.
A study in JAMA Pediatrics found a relationship between screen time as a baby and developmental delays as a toddler. This draws more ground to further investigate the health effects of electronics usage by children and what types of media have detrimental effects on development.
What a journey for this beetle!
