Loyd Auerbach (Weinberg ’78) became interested in parapsychology, the study of psychic, ghostly and mediumistic experiences, at age 12, when he discovered books about the topic in his hometown library, he said. As an anthropology major at Northwestern, Auerbach said he learned about supernatural beliefs and historic witch crazes, building a foundation for his graduate work in parapsychology. He most recently wrote the foreword for “Haunted World: 101 Ghostly Places and Encounters,” a new book by author Theresa Cheung that offers readers an introduction into the world of parapsychology. Released in September, the book was not written for academics or…

In the end, “the majority of studies have found no evidence of ESP, and the few that have shown significant findings have not been replicated,” says Segal. In short, “there is no credible scientific evidence that twin telepathy exists.”Shared lives, not shared mindsSo why do so many twins believe they’ve experienced telepathy? “There are better and more grounded explanations than ESP,” says Segal.For starters, twins typically grow up in the same environment, with the same caregivers, experiences, routines, peer groups, and cultural influences. They also share genetic traits, attachment styles, and temperamental tendencies. Because of such factors, when twins think…

Espionage Law Cannot Be Applied in Practice to Leaks of Defense Technology Advanced Countries Control Leaks Through Overlapping Legislation Due to Security Concerns Even if hacking or individuals leak information from defense companies, criminal punishment under the current law is little more than a slap on the wrist. While advanced countries impose severe penalties for leaking military and defense industry secrets, in Korea, the espionage law is limited to North Korea, so there are few applicable laws other than the Military Secrets Protection Act. Since the Defense Industry Technology Protection Act is the only applicable law, there is a consensus…

Influential inventions often combine existing tools in new ways. The iPhone, for instance, amalgamated the telephone, web browser and camera, among many other devices. The same is now possible in gene editing. Rather than employ separate tools for editing genes and regulating their expression, these distinct goals can now be combined into a single tool that can simultaneously and independently address different genetic diseases in the same cell. Merging Gene Editing and Regulation In a new paper in Nature Communications, researchers in the Center for Precision Engineering for Health (CPE4H) at the University of Pennsylvania School of Engineering and Applied…

Research into UFOs, which initially drew puzzled looks and smirks, is now considered an increasingly crucial part of Japan’s defense system and in need of additional support. The studies are actually focused more on manmade objects, such as drones and espionage tools, than beings from outer space. These mystery aircraft are now called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Many UAP sightings have been reported near sensitive sites around Japan, prompting Japanese security experts and lawmakers to call for more serious research and monitoring. Surveillance balloons believed to come from China have stirred attention in the United States and Japan. Drones, meanwhile,…

Exoplanet research has been driving heightened expectations with the search for life elsewhere. Credit: Leiden University Astrobiology poses fundamental questions about life in the universe: How did it emerge? Is there life beyond Earth? In a recently published study in PLOS One, researchers from Leiden University investigated how the field was portrayed in the public sphere from 1996 to 2024 by shining light on what speculations and promises about the search for life elsewhere are circulating in the media.
