Superconductivity—the ability of some materials to conduct electricity with no energy loss—holds immense promise for new technologies from lossless power grids to advanced quantum devices. A ...

Understanding near-death experiences In their new paper, Greyson and Pehlivanova outline many facets of NDEs that the NEPTUNE model—and neurophysiology more broadly—still cannot explain. For example, ...

It’s the ownership model we already apply to anything that can page someone, extended to a class of systems that can now act on its own. It’s worth naming what this actually is: distributed-systems ...

An ambitious effort to create a neurophysiological paradigm to explain near-death experiences has failed to capture many fascinating and often perplexing aspects of people's brushes with death, top ...
