We are happy to announce for the local readers that Integrity Research Institute will be exhibiting at the Natural Living Expo to be held on Sunday, October 2, 2022 here at the Marriott Hotel on the University of Maryland campus at 3501 University Blvd East, Hyattsville MD. We are striving to present our products, books, DVDs, reports, and the Patent Progress poster about once a year at such events but it is a rare occurrence, so I hope you can stop in to visit our exhibit booth and perhaps attend my Modern Meditation workshop at 2 PM (scroll down the list to 2 PM). The event also has lots of speakers and exhibit booths with a mind-body-spirit theme to them and about $10 general admission to everything .

Story #1 seems to be an exciting new development of the Einsteinian equation, E = m c² in that instead of an atomic bomb explosion converting matter into energy, the University of Manchester researchers were converting high electric field energy into matter, specifically, electron-positron pairs right out of the quantum vacuum or in everyday language, “out of thin air.” There is a Big Think article linked “Something Out of Nothing” that goes into detail about such a process for students to understand but for me, I wanted to know why this is a new process, since old fashion cloud chambers have been exhibiting such pair production for decades (including the Science Center in Toronto, Canada). So the next link leads us to their graphene superlattice article in Science magazine. This finally tells us the surprising capability of graphene to sustain the huge electric field gradients necessary to break down the vacuum:

Story #3 offers great hope for vehicles that like fuel rather than electricity. Sometimes retrofitting gasoline, explosion-powered vehicle to run on the implosion of hydrogen is a simple task of timing adjustments. Therefore, the hydrogen production discovery at room temperature is a big boost to the renewable transportation sector. The key to the success of such catalytic electrolysis is a 3-to-1 mix of gallium and aluminum nanoparticles in water, which automatically releases hydrogen, as reported by the University of California at Santa Cruz in the ACS Applied Nano Materials journal. What’s more, the online article “Aluminum Nanoparticles from a Ga–Al Composite for Water Splitting and Hydrogen Generation” https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsanm.1c04331# offers all of their data and photos on the site, so we don’t have to buy the article if you don’t want to.

Story #4 has all the hallmarks of an early bunch of research by the famous trio, Drs. Robert Becker, Arthur Pilla, and Andrew Bassett. They discovered that broken bones could knit in half the time with electrodes applying low-level current directly to the fracture zone. Then years later, they all received patents and more journal articles on a non-invasive magnetic coil pulse method around the leg or arm to accomplish the same thing. Now researchers at the University of Boston found that electrodes on the side of the head (Experiment #1) for 20 minutes, four days in a row, stimulated working memory in seniors with benefits lasting at least one month afterward. In Experiment #2, they applied the same bunch of electrodes to the left forehead to stimulate long-term memory for 20 minutes, four days in a row, and saw similar results. Our institute is now engaged in the famous trio scenario, offering a magnetic pulser version of a “repetitive neuromodulation” laboratory protocol, so people can try it at home, fresh from the pages of Nature Neuroscience (August 2022) https://www.nature.com/articles/s41593-022-01132-3 -- open access article.

Researchers demonstrated that the brains of people playing an online game together were synchronized without physical presence. Online gaming and other types of online social interaction have become increasingly popular during the COVID pandemic. This trend is likely to continue due to increased remote working and investments in social technology.

Previous research has shown that people’s brains activate in a similar and simultaneous way during social interaction. Such inter-brain neural synchronization has been associated with empathy and cooperation in face-to-face situations. However, its role in online, remote interaction has remained unknown.

A new study provides us with another promising step in that direction, provided you can make use of existing supplies of post-consumer aluminum and gallium. In the new research, scientists describe a relatively simple method involving aluminum nanoparticles that are able to strip the oxygen from water molecules and leave hydrogen gas.

The process yields large amounts of hydrogen, and it all works at room temperature. That removes one of the big barriers to hydrogen fuel production: the large amounts of power required to produce it using existing methods. This technique works with any kind of water, too, including wastewater and ocean water.

People’s ability to remember fades with age — but one day, researchers might be able to use a simple, drug-free method to buck this trend. In a study published on 22 August in Nature Neuroscience1, Robert Reinhart, a cognitive neuroscientist at Boston University in Massachusetts, and his colleagues demonstrate that zapping the brains of adults aged over 65 with weak electrical currents repeatedly over several days led to memory improvements that persisted for up to a month.

A team of researchers led by Meenesh Singh at University of Illinois Chicago has discovered a way to convert 100% of carbon dioxide captured from industrial exhaust into ethylene, a key building block for plastic products. Their findings are published in Cell Reports Physical Science. While researchers have been exploring the possibility of converting carbon dioxide to ethylene for more than a decade, the UIC team's approach is the first to achieve nearly 100% utilization of carbon dioxide to produce hydrocarbons. Their system uses electrolysis to transform captured carbon dioxide gas into high purity ethylene, with other carbon-based fuels and oxygen as byproducts.
