Science Breakthrough of the Year-The First Quantum Machine – This year’s Breakthrough of the Year represents the first time that scientists have demonstrated quantum effects in the motion of a human-made object,” said Adrian Cho, a news writer for Science. On a conceptual level that’s cool because it extends quantum mechanics into a whole new realm. On a practical level, it opens up a variety of possibilities ranging from new experiments that meld quantum control over light, electrical currents and motion to, perhaps someday, tests of the bounds of quantum mechanics and our sense of reality.” Source: www.kurzweilai.net/sciences-breakthrough-of-the-year-the-first-quantum-machine?utm_source=KurzweilAI+Daily+Newsletter&utm_campaign=57f08c1716-UA-946742-1&utm_medium=email
Researchers Discover Where Unconscious Memories Form – A small area deep in the brain called the perirhinal cortex is critical for forming unconscious conceptual memories, researchers at the UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain have found. The perirhinal cortex was thought to be involved, like the neighboring hippocampus, in “declarative” or conscious memories, but the new results show that the picture is more complex.
