A sudden loss of smell and taste was one of the first unusual symptoms reported by COVID-19 patients, but stroke, seizures, and swelling of the brain (called encephalitis) have all been described. Some patients diagnosed with COVID-19 also experience confusion, delirium, dizziness, and have difficulty concentrating, according to case reports and reviews.

Astronomers Confirm a Rogue Earth-Sized Planet Careening Through Our Galaxy
Scientists suspect that billions of free-floating or "rogue" planets may exist in the Milky Way, but so far only a handful of candidates have turned up among the 4,000-or-so worlds discovered beyond our Solar System.

Scientists Say This New Rice-Cooking Hack Removes Arsenic But Keeps The Nutrients
Rice is one of the most widely consumed foods in the world. It's also very high in arsenic compared to most other foods, absorbing about 10 times as much toxic inorganic arsenic as other cereal crops.

NASA Finally Makes Contact With Voyager 2 After Longest Radio Silence in 30 Years
There's never been a radio silence quite like this one. After long months with no way of making contact with Voyager 2, NASA has finally reestablished communications with the record-setting interstellar spacecraft.
Our sponsor, ISS Corporation, in addition to revolutionized Under Vehicle Scanning System (UVSS) presented recently, is launching a new product – high-tech solution for pedestrian’s safety - SOFFIT. Product video for your information:https://youtu.be/zhUX5CnHVm8

NASA Rocket Engines May Include Large-Scale 3D Printing
NASA’s Rapid Analysis and Manufacturing Propulsion Technology project, or RAMPT, is advancing development of an additive manufacturing technique to 3D print rocket engine parts using metal powder and lasers. The method, called blown powder directed energy deposition, could bring down costs and lead times for producing large, complex engine components like nozzles and combustion chambers.

Physicists Pin Down Nuclear Reaction From Moments After the Big Bang
Read on Quanta
The newly-measured rate of a key nuclear fusion process from the Big Bang matches the picture of the universe 380,000 years later.The reaction involves deuterium, a form of hydrogen consisting of one proton and one neutron that fused within the cosmos’s first three minutes. Most of the deuterium quickly fused into heavier, stabler elements like helium and lithium. But some survived to the present day.
