An Ultrasound Device May Unlock Brain Cancer Treatment, Early Study Shows

A study published recently in the Lancet offers some hope: an ultrasound device implanted in 17 patients’ skulls successfully increased the concentration of drugs in their brains.

Interview With Dexory, An Autonomous Warehouse Robot Maker.

The startup’s robots use artificial intelligence to create a digital twin of a warehouse. That mapping data can then be used by operators to run logistics more efficiently in the warehouse.

Exclusive Interview With Flashforest.ca: An Incredible Drone Enabled Reforestation Project

The journey to "plant 1 billion trees by 2028 to heal our planet’s lungs, and not stop there."

New KAUST Tandem Solar Cell Breaks Efficiency World Record

The dynamic duo of silicon and perovskite continue their rampage through the solar cell industry. Researchers at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology have developed a new silicon/perovskite tandem solar cell with a record-breaking efficiency.

Scans That Are 64 Million Times Clearer Give A New Look At The Brain

The researchers believe that this level of detailed imaging will enable greater understanding of how brains change with age, diet and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's.

Leaves May Have Helped Apes Evolve An Upright Stature

If an ape's back is horizontal, the hands and feet are typically underneath the body, which makes it harder to move outward to the smaller branches of the tree.

White House Puts Aside $5 Billion For Future COVID Treatments

Operation Next Gen will have three main goals: creating long-lasting monoclonal antibodies, speeding up the development of mucosal vaccines to possibly reduce transmission and infection risks, and speeding efforts to develop a universal coronavirus vaccine that protects against COVID-19 and other coronaviruses.

Human Lifespan Will Rise Dramatically This Century, Researchers Say

There's a growing revolution in the science of aging underway, and research is starting to show that there are a host of medical interventions that could slow or even reverse aging.

Surgeons Are Simulating Whole Brains To Pin Down The Source Of Their Patients' Seizures

A decade ago, the Human Brain Project launched with a blue-sky goal: digitizing a human brain. The implications were huge: simulated brains could provide crucial clues to help crack some of the most troubling neurological diseases.

Antarctic Ice Can Melt 20 Times Faster Than We Thought

A study published April 5 in the journal Nature found that at the end of the last Ice Age, parts of the Eurasian Ice Sheet retreated up to 2,000 feet per day.

Three Computer Vision Trends To Follow In 2023

Computer vision applications can run real-time data processing and analysis, which is not just reducing energy and bandwidth burdens, but is also improving computation efficiency.

Finding A Song People Were Listening To Based On Their Brain Activity

A neural decoding model that is able to reconstruct heard music from brain activity can form a reasonable step towards other forms of neural decoding models that have applications for aiding communication.
