Nuclear Engines for the Journey to Mars: Why NTR and NEP May Change Everything
For decades, Mars has been the big red prize of human space exploration. We’ve landed rovers, taken selfies on its dusty plains, and mapped its canyons and craters in high resolution. And yet, no human has ever set foot there. The biggest obstacle isn’t distance itself — it’s time. With today’s chemical rockets, a crewed flight to Mars would take six to nine long months one way, and the entire mission could stretch to two or even three years. That means more radiation exposure, more psychological pressure, more supplies, and more risk.

How quark-gluon plasma is studied in the laboratory?
Recreating conditions similar to the early universe is extremely difficult. However, physicists have learned how to create tiny volumes of quark-gluon plasma using large particle accelerators, heavy ion colliders. The idea is to accelerate two heavy atomic nuclei to relativistic speeds and collide them head-on. At the same time, the energy of the collision is concentrated in a small volume – a microscopic "fire layer" of ultra-high temperature and density is formed, in which ordinary nuclear matter "melts" for a moment and quark-gluon plasma arises.

Scientists Discover a Whole New Way Neurons Communicate — and It Could Rewrite Neuroscience
For more than a century, scientists believed they had a solid understanding of how the brain’s billions of neurons talk to each other. Messages flowed through synapses, where chemical messengers leapt microscopic gaps, or through electrical junctions that directly linked cells. But a team of researchers at Case Western Reserve University may have just found an entirely new kind of connection — one that could reshape how we think about brain activity and consciousness itself.

Parallax Cognition: How AI and Human Thought Together Create New Depth
The New Era of Thinking: When Humans and AI Align Artificial intelligence has moved beyond novelty. It’s no longer just a tool that automates tasks or accelerates data analysis—it’s becoming a partner in how we think. The concept of parallax cognition captures this transformation. Borrowed from the idea of parallax in photography—where two slightly different viewpoints create the illusion of depth—it suggests that when human and machine perspectives interact, they generate richer insights than either could alone.

The Hidden Magnetism of Space: Why Objects That Don’t Attract on Earth Pull Together Among the Stars
If you drop a pen and a paperclip on your desk, they just sit there. Nothing happens — no invisible force draws them together. But take those same two objects far away from Earth, into the silent vacuum of space, and something extraordinary begins to happen: they start to move toward each other. Slowly, almost imperceptibly at first, but undeniably. It sounds like science fiction — yet it’s a real and fascinating truth about how the universe works.
