Robots Can Handle Unsecured Loads Thanks To Tactile Sensors

Applied Science, Robotics /

Moving into a new home often feels like tackling a massive, three-dimensional puzzle when packing the moving truck. Every item must fit perfectly, and any instability or imbalance can make it shift and damage itself during the move. Load Balancing: Humans vs. Robots Humans naturally balance objects—whether a tray of food or a stack of

A Fully Synthetic Model of The Human Brain Has Been Created for the First Time

Neuroscience, Science /

Neural tissue engineering aims to replicate the brain’s extracellular matrix, supporting neuron growth and connectivity. This environment is precisely organized and conveys signals that direct how cells behave and interact. 3D tissue-engineered models hold great promise for reproducing the brain’s complex structure and functions. Replicating the brain’s fine features in the lab remains difficult, as

A Brain Circuit Linked to Compulsive Behaviors Has Now Been Identified and Mapped

Neuroscience, Psychology /

Researchers at Sweden’s Karolinska Institutet have discovered a brain circuit that triggers repetitive, compulsive actions in mice—even when they have access to natural rewards like food or social interaction. The findings, published in Science Advances, could deepen understanding of conditions such as obsessive-compulsive disorder and addiction. Animals and humans alike can get locked into repetitive
