Like a computer system with built-in redundancies, a study has revealed that brains use three different sets of neurons to store a single memory. The finding could one day help soften painful memories in people who’ve suffered trauma.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Brain found to store three copies of every memory
A drug used to induce labor in pregnant women has been shown to reactivate tiny waste-clearing pumps in the brains of old mice. The finding could hold promise as a new way to fight Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and overall cognitive decline.

If you’re getting plenty of leafy greens, dark chocolate, nuts, and beans, you’re probably doing fine. But if your diet is lacking, you might want to pay attention to this new eye-opening study that links a mineral deficiency issue to DNA changes.Conti… Continue reading Low level of common nutrient linked to disease-causing DNA damage
Updating an ancient form of health diagnosis with modern machine learning, researchers have developed a remarkable system that can reveal a range of medical conditions just by looking at your tongue. Testing showed off its near perfect accuracy.Continu… Continue reading The AI doc will see your tongue now – and tell you what’s wrong with you
Using heaps of data, Google trained a table-tennis-playing robot to take on human competitors and get better as it did so. The results were impressive and represent a leap forward in robotic speed and dexterity. It also looks really fun.Continue Readin… Continue reading Video: Google robot paddles human table tennis competitors
Instead of focusing on fighting the plaques linked to Alzheimer’s, researchers took a look at boosting electrical oscillations in the brain. The molecule they invented got the job done in mice, offering hope for a new treatment path for humans.

Using a proprietary chemical process pioneered by Canadian firm Excir, England’s The Royal Mint has begun mining old circuit boards from electronic devices for gold and converting what’s harvested into attractive, if pricey, jewelry.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Trashed circuit boards prove a literal gold mine for The Royal Mint
When you live on the Moon, your only option for commuting back to Earth or onward to Mars will be some kind of rocket. But each launch will kick up a hellstorm of debris. Building walls to contain all that mess might one day fall to autonomous rovers.C… Continue reading Wall-building robot eyed for blast shield construction on the Moon
Hydrogen-producing artificial leaves might soon be even better at their jobs thanks to a new study that examined the effects of pressure on the chemical processes they run. It all comes down to bubbles.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, ScienceTags: Sol… Continue reading Pressure boost squeezes out more hydrogen from artificial leaves
