Soul Catcher aims to preserve dad’s essence in silicon
Peter Cochrane, British Telecommunications Labs technologist, envisions Soul Catcher sensors capturing a person’s waking moments to be downloaded later. He notes family concerns but argues neural and digital implants already echo human life, predicting future AI-enabled souls living online.

Near Earth asteroids fewer in number than thought
Yale and Jet Propulsion Laboratory researchers report in Nature that the estimated count of near Earth asteroids capable of catastrophe is about 700, down from 1000 to 2000. Using automated tracking and a Hawaii telescope, they project 90 percent located within two decades guiding policy action.

Tiny ice ring: world’s smallest six-molecule cube
University of North Carolina researchers created a six-molecule water ring the size of a single ice crystal unit. Using liquid helium at ultra-low temperatures, they aim to reveal hydrogen bonding in ice and aid design of pharmaceuticals and other compounds. Further work will add guest molecules to study interactions.
