A nasal spray for stroke patients can deliver medication to the brain without surgery

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Scientists have developed the world’s first nanoparticle nasal spray for stroke, allowing brain drug delivery without surgery or injections. By bypassing the blood-brain barrier, it enables rapid use after symptoms appear, supporting early treatment, protecting brain cells, and reducing complications. The breakthrough was developed by researchers at The University of Hong Kong’s LKS Faculty of […]

AI Takes Control of Your Hand: Meet the Human Operator

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Neuroscience /

“We gave AI a body.” It’s the kind of statement that feels equally bold and disturbing—exactly the sort of idea you’d expect from a William Gibson story. Except this is real. Built by a six-person team, Human Operator won the “Learn Track” at the MIT Hard Mode 2026 hackathon. [2, 3] The project uses electrical

Scientists can block pain signals before they reach the brain

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Neuroscience /

For centuries, medicine has tried to manage pain by reducing symptoms or blocking nerve signals. Now, researchers are adopting a more radical approach: they are preventing pain before the brain becomes aware of it. Importantly, this work is already being tested in laboratories developing real-time neural technologies, not just remaining theoretical. Traditionally, pain treatment has

3D-printed brain sensors may enable personalized neural monitoring

Leave a Comment / Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Soft, flexible electrodes tailored to the brain’s surface may improve neural monitoring and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Unlike rigid, one-size-fits-all sensors, the team developed a 3D-printing method to create stretchable electrodes that match each brain’s unique shape. Using MRI data from 21 patients, the researchers created detailed brain models and customized electrode designs before printing

Researchers found evidence that memory can occur outside the brain

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Many people assume that memory belongs only to the brain, but recent findings suggest this idea may be too limited. Research conducted at New York University indicates that certain ordinary human cells outside the brain are also capable of learning and retaining information. Cells exposed to learning-like signals behaved similarly to neurons, showing stronger responses

Startup pitches cloned bodies for brain transfer

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Since the mid-1990s, cloning has fascinated scientists, beginning with Dolly the sheep, the first mammal cloned from an adult cell in 1996. While animal cloning has advanced significantly, applying the same methods to humans remains highly controversial because of both ethical concerns and major scientific risks. Researchers have only managed limited progress so far, such

Scientists Create Super Vision Lenses That Work With Eyes Closed

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Scientists have created infrared contact lenses that reportedly enable people to see in the dark — and even more surprisingly, while their eyes are closed. The University of Science and Technology of China team created wearable lenses with flexible polymers and nanoparticles that enable night vision without goggles. The findings were published on May 22

A new study reveals that even babies as young as one year old are capable of lying

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Even before they can walk or speak clearly, children begin to show a surprising ability to deceive. This finding challenges the long-held belief that lying requires advanced language skills. The study, published on March 5 in Cognitive Development, examined children from over 750 families worldwide. It found that around 25% of babies show an understanding

Researchers speed up the testing of mind-reading technology

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

For many years, the idea of controlling machines with the mind was confined to science fiction. Now, it is starting to become a reality. Researchers and governments are investing heavily in technology that enables a direct connection between the human brain and electronic systems. Recent clinical trials show rapid progress, and experts suggest that real-world

Humans Have Communicated Through Dreams for the First Time

Applied Science, Neuroscience /

Since the dawn of dreaming, humans have sought to understand the mind’s secrets. They have interpreted dreams as subconscious messages, glimpses into alternate realities, or fragments of memory woven together at night. But what if they were more—what if dreams could act as a bridge, a place where two minds connect, not while awake, but
