A precise extragalactic test of General Relativity - 0 views

Einstein's theory of gravity, General Relativity (GR), has been tested precisely within the Solar System. However, it has been difficult to test GR on the scale of an individual galaxy. Collett et al. exploited a nearby gravitational lens system, in which light from a distant galaxy (the source) is bent by a foreground galaxy (the lens). Mass distribution in the lens was compared with the curvature of space-time around the lens, independently determined from the distorted image of the source. The result supports GR and eliminates some alternative theories of gravity.
Does the brain store information in discrete or analog form? - 1 views

"...measured the way people make certain types of decisions and say that their statistical analysis of the results strongly suggests that the brain must store information in discrete form. Their conclusion has significant implications for neuroscientists and other researchers building devices to connect to the brain."

The innovation turning desert sand into farmland - 1 views
-
Norwegian scientist Kristian Morten Olesen has patented a process to mix nano-particles of clay with water and bind them to sand particles to condition desert soil - he has been working on Liquid Nanoclay (LNC) since 2005.

Agreed :) But, if it does work I doubt the guy will be able to enforce the patent in most of the countries where this will be helpful.
A Radically Conservative Solution for Cosmology's Biggest Mystery - 2 views
-
Two ways of measuring the universe's expansion rate yield two conflicting answers. Many point to the possibility of new physics at work, but a new analysis argues that unseen errors could be to blame. See also this work based on GAIA data that, on the other hand, reinforces the discrepancy: Milky Way Cepheid Standards for Measuring Cosmic Distances and Application to Gaia DR2: Implications for the Hubble Constant https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.10655
