- AskScience AMA Series: We are building the national quantum network. Ask Us Anything about the #QuantumBlueprint
- When I lift something is my brain continously sending signals to the muscle to contract or does it send one signal to contract and one to relax?
- How is it determined which way conditioning works?
- Despite living in the US, it seems like I hear more about volcanic/seismic activity on the Asia/Oceania side of the Ring of Fire. Is this actually the case and if so, why?
- When digging wells, how did historical settlements locate aquifers?
- How do scientists safely determining how potentially lethal pathogens spread?
- Why does food taste different when it's cold?
- Why does our immune system are not such effective against fungal infections while they are much against bacterial and viral infections?
- Why are there inconsistent numbers of joints in human body? Some say 250-350, 360, 300-400, more, less,... what is the real number?
- Are there any uncontacted or mostly-isolated communities in North America, Europe, mainland Asia, or Australia?
- Are galaxies old or just moving really far away? How does redshift work?
- What are the chances the Voyager 1 Probe ends up in a black hole?
- Is there any way to measure the intensity of an emotional experience?
- How does SARS-CoV-2 testing work?
- What makes the 8' site of guanine so easily oxidized such that 8-oxo-guanine is more common than other nitrogen sites on the guanine?
- Why does espresso foam up when you add tonic?
| Posted: 30 Jul 2020 04:00 AM PDT Last Thursday the U.S. Department of Energy laid out the strategy to build a national quantum internet. This #QuantumBlueprint is meant to accelerate the United States to the forefront of the global quantum race and usher in a new era of communications. In February of this year, DOE National Laboratories, universities, and industry experts met to develop the blueprint strategy, laying out the essential research to be accomplished, describing the engineering and design barriers, and setting near-term goals. DOE's 17 National Laboratories, including Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab will serve as the backbone of the coming quantum internet, which will rely on the laws of quantum mechanics to control and transmit information more securely than ever before. The quantum internet could become a secure communications network and have a profound impact on areas critical to science, industry and national security. Dr. Wenji Wu (Fermilab's Core Computing Division) and Gary Wolfowicz (Argonne National Lab's Center for Molecular Engineering) will be answering questions about Quantum Computing and the Quantum Internet Today at 2 PM CST (3 PM ET, 19 UT).

| How is it determined which way conditioning works? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 08:37 PM PDT If you try conditioning a negative response with a positive reward, how is it determined by the brain which of the two is affected? For example, one may try to make their morning more pleasurable by playing a song they like as their alarm, but instead end up hating the song. Why is it that the latter occurs instead of the first?

| When digging wells, how did historical settlements locate aquifers? Posted: 30 Jul 2020 05:01 AM PDT Did they just guestimate the flow of groundwater based on their surroundings or were their ways of actually checking BEFORE taking the effort to dig a deep hole? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 02:05 PM PDT The Wikipedia page only mentions tribes in the Amazon rainforest, New Guinea, and the Andaman islands. Is that an exhaustive list? I've read about isolated family groups in the Siberian wilderness but I wasn't sure if those are a fluke or if there are actual tribes / communities that aren't a part of any recognized nation.

| Are galaxies old or just moving really far away? How does redshift work? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 12:23 PM PDT Consider two very distant galaxies (think Hubble deep field) and both the same true distance from Earth. If one was really old and full of red giants, travelling away from Earth very slowly. The other was a new kid on the block with it's bright blue first generation stars, but was travelling away from Earth at a truly significant rate, such that the blue light was red-shifted to a similar hue of the older, slower mover. How would these galaxies appear from our observation post on Earth, would they look similar or is there a test that can say categorically that one is old and the other moving really far away?

| Is there any way to measure the intensity of an emotional experience? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 12:40 PM PDT I can compare two experiences, say looking at a painting and eating a meal, and say that I enjoyed both but preferred one over the other. Is there a way to measure this enjoyment? Furthermore, are there some emotions that we are able to better measure than others? [link] [comments]  |
| How does SARS-CoV-2 testing work? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 10:52 AM PDT How does the testing work? When a sample is collected, can it only be used for testing SARS-CoV-2 or could the sample be used to screen/test/collect data for other things? Interested in learning more about the testing as employers and local governments roll out mandatory testing. (Yes, scratching my conspiracy theory itch - reaching out for a logical explanation of how the process works so that I can confirm I'm being unnecessarily conspiratorial) [link] [comments]  |

| Why does espresso foam up when you add tonic? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 10:32 AM PDT It gets this really big, frothy head. Curious as to why this happens. [link] [comments]  |
