Bacteria could travel from the nose to the brain and trigger Alzheimer’s

A new study has found evidence that nose bacteria could move into the brain through the nerves and trigger a cascade of events that can lead to Alzheimer's disease

Researchers in Australia have found evidence that bacteria that live in the nose can make their way into the brain through nasal cavity nerves, setting off a series of events that could lead to Alzheimer’s disease. The work adds to the growing body of evidence that Alzheimer’s may be initially triggered through viral or bacterial infections.

Ingenity day boat dunks electric skateboard tech in the water

Going from water sports action to luxury cruising, and moving from the waters of Tahoe to the shores of Miami, Florida’s Ingenity has followed up its rowdy electric Super Air Nautique 22E multi-sport boat with the more humble 23E day boat. Along the wa… Continue reading Ingenity day boat dunks electric skateboard tech in the water

Physicists measure gravitational time warp to within one millimeter

The flow of time isn’t as consistent as we might think – gravity slows it down, so clocks on the surface of Earth tick slower than those in space. Now researchers have measured time passing at different speeds across just one millimeter, the smallest d… Continue reading Physicists measure gravitational time warp to within one millimeter

Another trial finds no evidence LSD microdosing does anything

Just weeks after a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial found psilocybin microdosing to be no different to placebo, another study has been published that found LSD microdoses have no effect on mood or cognition. The new research builds on a small but… Continue reading Another trial finds no evidence LSD microdosing does anything

Joby crashes one of its two eVTOL prototypes during high-speed testing

Joby Aviation has announced an accident during flight testing of its market-leading eVTOL aircraft prototype. Flight tracking data appears to show the aircraft was being pushed over 270 mph (435 km/h), well beyond its advertised top speed of 200 mph (3… Continue reading Joby crashes one of its two eVTOL prototypes during high-speed testing

UK review affirms vaccination reduces risk of long COVID 

A rapid research review conducted by the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has affirmed prior findings indicating vaccination reduces a person’s risk of developing long COVID. The report also found vaccination after developing long COVID can improve pe… Continue reading UK review affirms vaccination reduces risk of long COVID

Sony has introduced an interesting take on the modern earbud that places an emphasis on ambient noise, and does so in a way Sony promises won’t compromise the quality of the listening experience. The newly unveiled LinkBuds feature a unique ring-shaped… Continue reading Sony’s open-ring LinkBuds keep you in tune with the world around you

Candela celebrates the first flight of its C-8 electric hydrofoil boat

Candela aims to smash electric boat range records with its C-8, using a hydrofoil system that eliminates as much as 80 percent of the drag you’d get from a conventional design. The first prototype C-8 has now flown, and Candela has released video.Conti… Continue reading Candela celebrates the first flight of its C-8 electric hydrofoil boat
