Two dogs in a small study were able to correctly identify what breath smelled like when it was linked to a memory of trauma. The finding might allow dogs to be even better friends when it comes to helping PTSD sufferers cope with their conditions.Conti… Continue reading Now we know: Dogs can sniff trauma recollections on our breath
An international research team has sent an astounding amount of data at a nearly incomprehensible speed. It’s the fastest data transmission ever using a single optical fiber and shows just how speedy the process can get using current materials.Continue… Continue reading Blazing bits transmitted 4.5 million times faster than broadband
Researchers have discovered that limiting a certain enzyme can have a dramatic impact in protecting against the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. The finding could lead to a new class of drugs that fight the disease.

A massive volcano has been hiding in plain sight on Mars, says new research. Not only is its sheer size noteworthy, but the team believes it might also harbor glacial ice that could be critical for further exploration and Martian settlements.Continue R… Continue reading Newly found monster Martian volcano might be hiding an icy secret
A change in shape to a particular structure of neurons was found to have a significant impact on obesity in rats. Researchers believe the finding will translate to humans and could help us fight our own middle-aged bulges one day.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Middle-age obesity linked to shape-shifting brain neurons
Tall, capable, and vaguely insectoid looking, a series of Digit robots are now moving around empty bins at an Amazon research and development facility. The trial run is the first step towards using the bots to automate repetitive warehouse processes.Co… Continue reading Video: Long, lanky humanoid robots get to work at Amazon facility
