Screen time of any kind is generally considered to be a negative influence on a child’s development but a new study from a team of European researchers makes a strikingly different case, presenting evidence that playing video games may actually boost a… Continue reading Could video games be making kids smarter? A new study says yes
Iconic 4x4s are rising from the dead at an alarming rate — the Bronco, the Hummer, the Wagoneer, and now the International Harvester Scout. Or just “Scout” as it will henceforth be known. Volkswagen owns the rights to the Scout name and is about to exe… Continue reading VW’s electric Scout redux puts Bronco and Wrangler in its sights
Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of computers, and researchers at the University of Rochester have now developed the fastest ones ever created. By zapping graphene and gold with laser pulses, the new logic gates are a million times faster than those in existing computers, demonstrating the viability of “lightwave electronics.”

Biopharmaceutical company MindMed has announced the first topline data from a novel Phase 2 trial testing high doses of LSD as a treatment for anxiety. The results indicate one to two LSD sessions can generate rapid and sustained reductions to anxiety,… Continue reading Promising early results from largest-ever trial testing LSD for anxiety
Orbex has publicly unveiled the full-scale prototype of its reusable Prime rocket on its pad at Space Hub Sutherland in northern Scotland, where the first-ever vertical launch of a satellite from UK soil is set to be carried out in the coming months.Co… Continue reading Orbex unveils the UK’s first vertically-launched orbital rocket
A new study led by researchers at McGill University challenges current notions of how acute pain is treated. The findings suggest treating some forms of acute pain with anti-inflammatory drugs may actually increase the risk of that pain developing into… Continue reading Surprise findings suggest anti-inflammatories increase chronic pain risk
One of eVTOL companies’ core promises is that these electric air taxis will be vastly quieter than helicopters – so quiet that we’ll be able to fill the skies with hundreds of them without subjecting city dwellers to brutal levels of added noise pollut… Continue reading NASA acoustic testing puts real numbers on Joby’s eVTOL noise signature
The world’s most powerful X-ray laser is ready for operation after a massive overhaul. A powerful upgrade to Stanford’s Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS), LCLS-II uses temperatures colder than deep space to accelerate electrons to near light-speed and… Continue reading World’s most powerful X-ray laser now fires a million bursts per second
An ongoing study is testing a new kind of neuroimaging device designed to easily capture brain activity in real-time. These preliminary experiments will investigate the effects of ketamine on functional connectivity in the brain before, during and afte… Continue reading Brain imaging helmet tracks psychedelic experiences in ketamine study
The techniques our cells use to dispose of waste products offers some exciting avenues for us to potentially intervene in their behavior, whether it’s clogging up these garbage disposal systems to bring cancer undone or repairing their defects to tackle Alzheimer’s. Research from MIT has shown how this activity is ramped up during cell division, with the newly discovered mechanism potentially offering scientists a “toggle” for treating these kinds of diseases.
