Brain Scans Reveal Why Waking Up Is Sometimes Such a Difficult Experience

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2026-02-19 21:00:12

Want to wake up feeling great? The secret might not be so simple as a multi-step nighttime routine, early bedtime, or a no-device rule. A new study suggests that how we fall asleep and how we wake up the next day may not be so similar as we once thought. Neuroscientists tracked 20 people’s brain activity as they woke up from sleep—sometimes naturally, sometimes by setting off an alarm—recording more than 1,000 awakenings in total. They found a pattern of neural activity signaled waking, but tha

Origami Space Planes Could Solve a Major Problem in Orbit

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2026-02-19 23:10:56

Building a spacecraft could one day be as simple as folding a piece of paper into a plane and letting aerodynamics do the rest. A team of researchers from the University of Tokyo simulated the release of a paper airplane from the International Space Station (ISS) to see if would survive atmospheric reentry. In a paper published in Acta Astronautica, the researchers demonstrated how origami may be the solution to low Earth orbit’s growing trash problem. Rather than relying solely on metals to co

How to design an actually good flash flood alert system

Flash floods have wrought more havoc in the US this week, from the Northeast to the Midwest, just weeks after swollen rivers took more than 130 lives across central Texas earlier this month. Frustrations have grown in the aftermath of that catastrophe over why more wasn’t done to warn people in advance. Local officials face mounting questions over whether they sent too many or sent too few mobile phone alerts to people. Some Texans have accused the state of sending out too many alerts for injur

I ditched Google Calendar for paper, and it gave me the mental clarity I needed

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-02-19 23:00:44

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority I started using a paper calendar as sort of a joke. It was part of my experiment to live as if I were back in 1993. I ditched all modern tech and bought a weekly planner from the dollar store. My busy adult life still needed some kind of planning system. I didn’t expect to stick with it after my experiment was up, but you know what? I did. The experiment ended but the paper calendar stuck around.

Meta said on Friday that it won't sign the European Union's new AI code of practice. The guidelines provide a framework for the EU's AI Act, which regulates companies operating in the European Union. The EU's code of practice is voluntary, so Meta was under no legal obligation to sign it. Yet Meta's Chief Global Affairs Officer, Joel Kaplan, made a point to publicly knock the guidelines on Friday. He described the code as "over-reach."

The New ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’ Betrays Itself From the Very Start

If you make an I Know What You Did Last Summer movie, one thing has to work above all else. Whatever the characters “did last summer” has to be bad enough for someone to plausibly return a year later and try to kill them. It’s one of the things the 1997 original gets right.
