Science and technology, explained simply
In infancy, the human brain is unable to combine information into complex neural structures known as memories. This is due to the immaturity of the cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Psychology professors Patricia Bauer and Nora Newcombe told Live Science about this. Patricia Bauer from Emory University (USA) explained that children have developed semantic memory, the […]
Breathtaking photos of the Blue Marble-like Earth surrounded by the black abyss of space were taken by the first ultra-high-resolution camera orbiting our planet. As a result, the footage shows a bright blue planet surrounded by blackness, the Daily Mail reports. The photo was taken using a 360-degree measurement launched into space by a private […]
Astronauts have problems with their finger nails during spacewalks. Space is not the most comfortable environment for humans. If there are no normal earthly conditions, including the usual gravity, then a person begins to experience health problems. First of all, it concerns the loss of bone and muscle density. Studies show that another disadvantage of […]
A group of Chinese scientists has created a new sensor system that mimics the tip of a human finger. A sensor that mimics the pad of a human finger can detect the texture of an object it touches in real time. Over time, the scientists hope to reach a new level and allow people with […]
Scientists from the University of Barcelona have designed and manufactured 35 kilobots equipped with tiny legs, LED lights, and an infrared light receiver. This discovery is a significant step in the development of swarm robots. These bots were programmed to perform dance moves similar to those used by scout bees. In the experiments, each robot […]
Scientists from ETH Zürich have presented the latest achievement in 3D printing – a robotic arm that impresses with its anatomical accuracy and unique design. This innovation consists of bones, ligaments, and tendons made of different flexible polymers, which opens up prospects for various applications. Researchers from ETH Zurich and the American startup Inkbit have […]
Fructose can cause obesity by stimulating the consumption of more fatty foods. Researchers have developed the fructose survival hypothesis, which explains the link between various obesity factors. Fructose is a destructive element that pushes the metabolism towards obesity. Although it does not provide many calories, it provokes the desire to consume more fatty foods, which […]
Artificial intelligence was first used to detect and classify supernovae without human intervention. Scientists from the international team developed an AI tool called Bright Transient Survey Bot (BTSbot) using machine learning on more than 1.4 million images from nearly 16,000 sources. This new tool automates the process of detecting starbursts, improving speed and preventing errors, […]
A negative rental situation can accelerate your aging. Renting a home leads to faster biological aging than owning your own home or living in social housing. According to the authors of the study, being a tenant is more harmful to health than being unemployed or a former smoker. This is due to both poor living […]
One of the biggest challenges for space agencies planning to establish bases on the Moon is dust. After all, it damages spacesuits, clogs mechanisms, interferes with the operation of scientific instruments, and makes it difficult to move. This is stated in a study published in the journal Scientific Reports. Scientists have discovered a possible solution […]
