Earlier this month, researches discovered something frightening. Many patients that had COVID-19 exhibit neurological symptoms, from loss of smell to delirium to a higher risk of stroke. They are worried that COVID-19 survivors may face a wave of cog na tive issues.

NASA is soon going to start building its latest spacecraft called Psyc-he. The NASA mission will be to a 70 mile-wide asteroid named ‘16 Psyc-he’. The spacecraft cleared the ‘critical design’ phase last month.

A team of Chinese scientists just improved the way they can send a quantum-encrypted message, managing to beam one all-the-way down from a satellite. That twisted a lot of cybersecurity heads around the world.

According to MIT mechanical engineer Mr. Henry, humans are running out of time to stop our own extinction. The challenge comes down to physics: Almost all of our energy consumption involves generating or transferring heat. Coupled with the greenhouse gas emissions that come with that energy use, Henry warns that we are very near the point of no return that would send us on a path toward inevitable destruction of the climate and ourselves.

In an unusual experiment, scientists got to watch as bacteria adapted to a new host, evolving to become more infectious over hundreds of generations. While tracking changes over time, the University of Vienna scientists saw two very different evolutionary strategies emerge in bacteria that were subjected to different conditions. The research, published in the journal PNAS, is a fascinating case study that helps scientists understand how bacteria become dangerous.
