The effects of space travel on human physiology are profound, subjecting astronauts to conditions such as radiation, microgravity, disrupted sleep, and high-stress environments. These factors could potentially impact cognitive abilities, a critical concern given the complexity and high stakes of tasks performed aboard spacecraft.

A different mix of fuels with enhanced properties could overcome some of the major barriers to making fusion a more practical energy source, according to a new study.
The proposed approach would still use deuterium and tritium, which are generally accepted as the most promising pair of fuels for fusion energy production. However, the quantum properties of the fuel would be adjusted for pea

For roboticists, one challenge towers above all others: generalization - the ability to create machines that can adapt to any environment or condition. Since the 1970s, the field has evolved from writing sophisticated programs to using deep learning, teaching robots to learn directly from human behavior. But a critical bottleneck remains: data quality. To improve, robots need to encounter scenar

The concept of installing a massive underwater curtain to protect Antarctic ice sheets from melting has sparked discussions among scientists, yet the political ramifications remain underexplored. Kobe University researchers emphasize the need for these aspects to be part of the conversation to prevent potential geopolitical conflicts in the region, known for its longstanding peaceful cooperation
