The news of Stephen Hawking’s death may have come as a source of sadness for many of us. His family have reported that he was at peace as he passed away on the morning of the 14th of March 2018. However, it may certainly be hard to imagine a world without his regular new contributions to popular culture, not to mention his specific academic and scientific arenas.

Naturally occurring in the wild, psilocybin mushrooms, colloquially known as "magic" mushrooms, have long mystified researchers. The origin of their unique properties - causing auditory and visual hallucinations, moments of euphoria, and feelings of "magic" - are being investigated. Amidst controversy, these special mushrooms are believed to have, in moderate doses, therapeutic effects on humans such as in combating depression, anxiety, and addiction.

Magnetic forces form the basis of how the universe keeps turning. However, many researchers assert that these forces may have other roles in the wider cosmos owing to the presence of molten cores in the many planets and planetoids out there.

There is a depressing quote concerning the ability of false information to outpace a more verifiable counterpart among human beings. Furthermore, it has many versions and variations, some of which are attributed to more than one author. However, it appears that including a wrongful citation would ensure that it would be repeated far earlier and far more often. This would be in keeping with the message of the quote – and would also be substantiated by scientific evidence.

We are all at risk of incursions to our online interests, according to security experts SonicWall. This company is a leading name in corporate security, focusing on the cyber-integrity of their clients. However, they claim that individuals also face the threats implied by the ‘cyber arms race’. SonicWall claim that their research and analysis have led them to conclude that such a term is far more than a concept.

Why would robots want to mimic spiders? So they can jump, according to robotics professor Mostafa Nabawy, during his keynote speech at the Industry 4.0 event. This summit had been set up so that academics could showcase their ideas and theories for what they call ‘the next Industrial Revolution’. This concept centres on the role of upcoming technology in the progression and advancement of global industry – robotics included. Dr.

Stem cell technology has seen vast advancements as a result of the discovery of the Yamanaka factors. They are a group of four transcription factors that can be activated to convert an adult cell into a usable stem cell.

The energy storage solutions of the future are thought to be those of the high-tech lithium and carbon variety. These elements have been converted into various atomic-level shapes and states that are purported to improve on current battery technology when set up along other complementary chemicals.

Technology is rapidly changing the world, and innovations are being developed that will redefine how we live.

Metal is an incredible form of matter. Furthermore, the common tools made of the high-grade purified elements and alloys we’ve come to take for granted are the results of intensive research, development and labour over millennia. Humanity’s continuous investigations into better, stronger metals have informed civilisations, and determined the survival of some, over the course of its existence.

The history of personal computing has been marked with potential or actual exploits that can be used by hackers to steal data from devices or take over their functions. Luckily, these are often found by security researchers, who report their findings publically.

Up until now, the best memory standard you might have gotten for your graphics’ performance would have been DDR5. This is the highest value of double-data rate (DDR) type chips available to enhance video, multimedia or gaming, available on the highest end of devices.
