The term "Anthropocene" has transcended its origins in the quiet corridors of stratigraphy to become the defining cultural, philosophical, and scientific concept of the twenty-first century. It proposes a fundamental rupture in Earth history; the moment when human activity ceased to be a mere biological presence on the surface of the planet

Researchers have created a method that makes it possible to transform the brain’s support cells into parvalbumin-positive cells. These cells act as the brain’s rapid-braking system and are significantly involved in #schizophrenia , #epilepsy , and other #neurological conditions.

About 300 years ago, Swedish naturalist Carl #Linnaeus set out on a bold quest: to identify and name every living #organism on Earth. Now celebrated as the father of modern taxonomy, he developed the binomial naming system and described more than 10,000 species of plants and animals.

In the past year, two separate experiments in two different materials captured the same confounding scenario: the coexistence of superconductivity and magnetism. Scientists had assumed that these two #quantum states are mutually exclusive; the presence of one should inherently destroy the other.
