Scientists solve the mystery of what happens when we faint

While nearly 40% of the population will faint in their lifetime, until now scientists have not known the exact mechanism at play when we experience that brief, terrifying lack of consciousness. That is, until now.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, Scie… Continue reading Scientists solve the mystery of what happens when we faint

Sesame seed-sized radar senses movements a fraction of the width of a hair

Engineers at the University of California, Davis (UC Davis) have developed a new radar sensor that can pick up movements just 100th the width of a human hair. Better yet, the sensor itself is only the size of a sesame seed and is energy efficient.Conti… Continue reading Sesame seed-sized radar senses movements a fraction of the width of a hair

Brain-computer interfaces give two women their voices back

Losing the ability to speak after a brain injury or due to disease leaves a person unable to express their thoughts, feelings and ideas, and can be incredibly isolating. In two recently published studies, researchers demonstrated how combining brain im… Continue reading Brain-computer interfaces give two women their voices back
