The price is NOT right! Your brain acts before you do when the cost of something does not match our expectations.

EurekAlert!How the brain responds to prices: Scientists discover neural marker for price perceptionRussian scientists have discovered how the brain makes purchasing decisions. Using electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), researchers found that the brain responds almost instantly when a product's price deviates from expectations. This response engages brain regions involved in evaluating rewards and learning from past decisions. Thus, perceiving a product's value is not merely a conscious choice but also a function of automatic cognitive mechanisms. The results have been published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.

It's another case of science-fiction becoming science. A shape shifting liquid based robot. Thankfully, it does not have a tendency for terminating.

EurekAlert!SNU-GU researchers jointly develop a liquid robot capable of transformation, separation, and fusion like living cellsA liquid robot capable of transforming, separating, and fusing freely like living cells has been developed. Seoul National University College of Engineering announced that a joint research team led by Professor Ho-Young Kim from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Professor Jeong-Yun Sun from the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, and Professor Keunhwan Park from the Department of Mechanical, Smart, and Industrial Engineering at Gachon University has successfully developed a next-generation soft robot based on liquid. This research was published in the world-renowned journal Science Advances on March 21.

A remarkable discovery by 17-year-old Julian Shapiro: while searching for supernova remnants, this high school junior identified a 'light echo' from a dormant supermassive black hole, spanning up to 250,000 light-years—potentially the largest ever observed.

I found this story illuminating. Not only do we identify with hero characters, but we believe that they share our values. Also, we believe the opposite of villains.
Presumably, conservatives believe that Voldermort is all about the trans rights.

EurekAlert!Who does Darth Vader vote for? Not the same party as Harry PotterPeople think that Harry Potter, Spiderman and Gandalf would vote the same way they do, whereas Darth Vader, Cruella de Vill and Joffrey Baratheon would vote for the rival party. New research from the University of Southampton, published today [17 March] in the journal Political Science Research & Method, shows how people in the UK and USA believe that fictional characters they admire would share their voting preferences, while those they dislike would vote the other way.
