Human Brain Processes Information at Just 10 Bits Per Second, Study Finds

In a groundbreaking study, scientists have quantified how quickly the human brain processes information, revealing a surprisingly slow speed of just 10 bits per second. Despite receiving billions of bits of data from our senses, including sight, hearing, touch, and smell, the brain only processes a tiny fraction of this information. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) conducted the study, publishing their findings in the journal Neuron last week.

China's Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory Set to Illuminate Subatomic Mysteries

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) in Guangdong, China, is poised to transform the study of neutrinos, subatomic particles produced by nuclear reactions. Set to begin operations in 2025, this $300 million facility features a giant spherical detector located 700 meters underground, surrounded by a 12-storey cylindrical pool of water. This innovative setup is designed to capture and analyze neutrinos emitted from nearby nuclear power plants, as well as those from the sun and t

"Spectacular Cosmic Event: Black Hole Disrupts Star and Creates Dramatic X-ray Eruptions"

Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery involving a massive black hole that is currently disrupting two celestial objects, one of which is a star. Utilizing NASA's observatories, including Chandra, NICER, and Hubble, alongside India’s AstroSat, researchers have gained new insights into the behavior of stellar debris surrounding supermassive black holes. In 2019, astronomers observed a star that ventured too close to a supermassive black hole, resulting in a tidal
