Cold-water corals, the architects of the deep sea, are facing a future in flux. In this episode, we dive into a groundbreaking global study revealing how the planet’s cold-water coral species are likely to move, adapt, or decline as the oceans warm and acidify. Using cutting-edge machine learning models, we mapped present-day diversity hotspots and forecasted dramatic poleward and depthward shifts under contrasting climate scenarios.

Severe storms with damaging winds, hail and downpours will track from the Rockies at midweek to part of Appalachians later this weekend, threatening travel, outdoor plans and sporadic power outages.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Researchers at UC Davis and California State University, Chico have developed a new technique combining electromyography (EMG) and force myography (FMG) to significantly improve the accuracy of gesture recognition systems. This hybrid approach, which listens to both electrical signals and subtle muscle pressure, demonstrates a 91% accuracy rate, offering promising advancements for prosthetics, virtual reality, and other human-machine interaction applications.Read the full article at

Marijuana is decriminalized or legal in some form in multiple states. But, because it’s illegal on the federal level, states have had to build their own regulatory infrastructure. Without a centralized body to guide them, regulations in one state can look vastly different from those in another. For more on the scope of the issue, Short Wave host Regina G. Barber talks to independent science journalist Teresa Carr and NPR pharmaceuticals correspondent Sydney Lupkin. Read more of Teresa’s reporting on

We dissect Francois Fleuret's Free Transformer, which injects a learned latent variable Z into autoregressive generation via a tiny CVAE-like encoder. With only one extra non-causal block, it introduces minimal overhead yet unlocks high-level planning that improves reasoning on benchmarks. We compare latent planning to explicit chain-of-thought and ponder how combining latent and explicit reasoning could unlock new capabilities. Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make ...

Earth's Magnetic Field Changes: New data from the European Space Agency's Swarm satellites reveal significant alterations in Earth's magnetic field, including the eastward expansion of the South Atlantic Anomaly and a strengthening field over Siberia. These changes, while not alarming for life on Earth, pose challenges for satellite navigation systems and space infrastructure.Ambitious Lunar Delivery Plans: Impulse Space has announced plans to deliver up to six tons of cargo to the Moon annually,

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Richard Case has always been drawn to what most people run from. As a child, he couldn’t always see spirits — but he could feel them, as if the air itself shifted when something otherworldly was near. Growing up in a home filled with eerie stories told by his stepfather only sharpened his sense for the unseen. Now, as an adult, Richard has turned that childhood sensitivity into a mission: investigating the hauntings and whispers that others dismiss. From

In the summer of 1987, three children discovered that the line between childhood games and the paranormal can disappear in an instant. Out on their grandfather’s land near a rumored Native burial ground in rural Montana, the days smelled of cut hay and pine resin — but at dusk, the yard belonged to something else. It began with a toy truck that hurled itself off a shelf, striking the wall with unnatural force. Soon came the faceless black boy crouched beneath the oak tree, holding their toy in

Lightning isn’t just the flash we see at the surface—it's the electrical heartbeat inside a storm. In this episode, we explore the GOES-16 Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), a near-infrared camera that watches total lightning continuously from space, updating every 20 seconds with roughly 10-km resolution. Learn how GLM’s intra-cloud flashes reveal a storm’s updrafts and intensification minutes before the first ground strike, how rapid increases in flash rate relate to severity, and why th...

Diagenesis is the hidden engine that reshapes sediments after deposition, turning loose grains into rock and setting the stage for oil and gas, while also altering ancient bones. We unpack the core processes—compaction, water–rock interactions, and microbial activity—and dive into replacement (permineralization), the oil window, and the stages of diagenesis from early to deep burial. We also explore how diagenesis preserves or erases skeletal material, influencing dating and isotope work. A c...

In this explainer episode, we’ve asked Dr Emily Perry, research engagement manager at Genomics England, to explain what the Genomics England Research Environment is.You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel.

In the final episode of the ISC podcast series, produced with the support of the China Association for Science and Technology, science journalist Izzie Clarke speaks with Professor Yongguan Zhu (Chinese Academy of Sciences, Vice-President for Membership of the ISC) and Dr Charah Watson (Scientific Research Council, Jamaica) about how scientists can collaborate across disciplines, sectors, and borders. The conversation explores what “science without boundaries” truly means - from citizen scien...

In this groundbreaking conclusion to Chapter 6, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander erects a sturdy bridge from the physical to the metaphysical. The Eternality Axiom provides a scientific foundation for concepts once confined to philosophy and theology. Explore how consciousness can be understood as a mode of interaction with the eternal field of information, and how thought, creativity, and intuition may be the mind tuning into this broader reality. We then examine the ministerial and societal

In this paradigm-shifting episode, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander dismantles two of science's most sacred concepts: causality and dynamics. The Eternality Axiom forces a fundamental reassessment, moving us from a linear "billiard ball" model of cause-and-effect to a vision of interconnected manifestation. Discover how every event is a node in a vast, timeless pattern becoming manifest, where cause and effect are simultaneous expressions of the underlying field. Furthermore, what we see as a

We now arrive at the synthesis. In this first episode of Chapter 6, Dr. Hakeem Ali-Bocas Alexander demonstrates why the M.E.T.A. framework creates an unbreakable argument for the Eternality Axiom. The strength lies not in four separate pillars, but in their powerful synergy—a closed-loop of confirmation where theory, math, experiment, and application continuously validate one another. Discover how a single technology, the Quantum Random Number Generator, acts as a microcosm of the entire

In this episode of The Observable Unknown, Dr. Juan Carlos Rey of CrowsCupboard.com uncovers the hidden clockwork of the living body - the molecular rhythms that measure dawn, dusk, and everything between. Drawing on the Nobel-winning research of Jeffrey C. Hall, Michael Rosbash, and Michael W. Young, whose fruit-fly experiments at Brandeis University and Rockefeller University revealed the PER gene and its feedback loop, Dr. Rey shows how each of us carries an internal timepiece. From the
