Inside the Nuclear Fusion Facility That Changed the World
Shortly after 1 a.m. on the morning of Dec. 5, 2022, Dave Schlossberg, an experimental physicist at National Ignition Facility (NIF), was woken by a phone call. A fusion experiment using NIF’s massive lasers was scheduled to go off that night. Going to bed a few hours earlier, he had told Alex Zylstra, one of the physicists on his team, to call him “if anything interesting happens.” Now Zylstra was seeing data unlike anything the facility had registered before. They seemed to show that the scientists had achieved a monumental step in a decades-long quest to replicate the energy source that powers the sun....

3 is a Magic Number?
Discussion
Three year olds (3YO) are hard at work figuring out the world and how they fit into it. They talk and play with a finesse that they have not been able to accomplish before. Adults who “don’t like the baby stage” often really enjoy having 3YOs around as they can relate to them better because they now talk and act more like adults. What 3YOs do and say may be necessarily more juvenile, but adults can really see the beginnings of older or adult child in the 3YO.
3YOs can:
Gross motor
Run and climb (objects and stairs) with balance and some agility
Kick a ball and throws overhand
Ride a bike
Dre...

Enlarged perivascular spaces in infant brains linked to autism risk
Infants with enlarged perivascular spaces have a more than two-fold greater chance of developing autism compared with infants with normal perivascular spaces, according to researchers from the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill."These results suggest that perivascular spaces could serve as an early marker for autism," said study lead author Dea Garic, PhD, in a statement released January 2 by the university.Every six hours, the brain expels a wave of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that flows through perivascular spaces; this fluid mitigates the buildup of neuroinflammatory proteins, such as amyloid beta. The cleansing ...
