Why We Made a Guide to Winning a Fight

wired.com Katie Drummond 2025-12-01 22:00:00

I don’t think there’s anything quite so satisfying as winning a fight—especially when you land that victory with a resounding and definitive punch to your opponent’s gut. In some instances, that’s a literal victory. Just ask my third-grade playground nemesis; it’s the one and only time I ever threw that kind of breathtaking slug, and yeah, she had it coming.

Is Gravity Just Entropy Rising? Long-Shot Idea Gets Another Look

news.ycombinator.com George Musser 2025-12-01 16:36:41

Isaac Newton was never entirely happy with his law of universal gravitation. For decades after publishing it in 1687, he sought to understand how, exactly, two objects were able to pull on each other from afar. He and others came up with several mechanical models, in which gravity was not a pull, but a push. For example, space might be filled with unseen particles that bombard the objects on all sides. The object on the left absorbs the particles coming from the left, the one on the right absorb

Stanford Doctors Invent Device That Appears to Be Able to Save Tons of Stroke Patients Before They Die

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-01 12:45:17

Image by Andrew Brodhead Researchers have developed a novel device that literally spins away the clots that block blood flow to the brain and cause strokes. As Stanford explains in a blurb, the novel milli-spinner device may be able to save the lives of patients who experience "ischemic stroke" from brain stem clotting. Traditional clot removal, a process known as thrombectomy, generally uses a catheter that either vacuums up the blood blockage or uses a wire mesh to ensnare it — a procedure

Cyborg Embryos Offer New Insights into Brain Growth

news.ycombinator.com Charles Q. Choi 2025-11-27 15:11:17

Scientists have created cyborg embryos by implanting electrode arrays into the developing brains of frogs, mice, and salamanders. Although the researchers reject implants in human embryos as unethical, they suggest their technology might one day help study and treat neurodevelopmental conditions in children. The stretchable technology at the core of the electrode arrays could record brain activity while remaining soft enough to accommodate the children’s growth. Recording the activity of neuron
