Finding mixed emotions in the cognitive brain
Neuroscientists have long wondered whether mixed emotions are just the brain flickering between contradictory emotions very quickly New research shows that mixed emotions (positive + negative simultaneously) involve a distinct brain state, especially in more advanced parts of the brain that process uncertainty and involve complex thinking

How did Hurricane Helene stay so powerful through to Appalachia? Partially, the brown-ocean effect
Hurricanes need hot water below them to fuel their spinning vortex, but sometimes they can get this fuel over the land, not just the ocean See the Brown Ocean effect here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_ocean_effect Hurricane Helene hit a region over Georgia that had just been inundated, and evaporating water can produce >70 W/m^2 of power for the hurricane to absorb Plus, the Gulf of Mexico was extremely warm this time of year, amplifying Helene from Category 1 to 4 within a day https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/climate/hurrica...
