This week, researchers discovered so-called «switchbacks» in Earth’s magnetic field similar to observations of switchbacks in the sun’s magnetic field. Scientists provided more evidence that ancient Rapa Nui engineers «walked» Easter Island’s iconic statues along carefully designed roads. And satellite imagery revealed a record 20-meter-high ocean wave. We also reported on a unique method for eliciting childhood memories, the smallest chunk of dark matter ever observed, and the pernicious effects of empty praise from chatbots:

A study led by neuroscientists at Anglia Ruskin University finds that adults have better access to childhood memories while embodying a digital, childlike version of their own face. The «enfacement illusion» involves the use of a live video feed and a commercial face filter that digitally alters the user’s appearance to a childlike state. The digitally altered image mirrors the movements of the users, creating a sense that the face is the participant’s own. Additionally, a control group viewed their own unaltered faces under the same conditions.
