Scientists Discovered and Deactivated a Brain Fear Switch

The sensation of hairs standing on end, the cold sensation in the stomach, the rapid heartbeat triggered by a sudden movement in the shadows—these experiences evoke fear. Fear, while capable of causing distress and discomfort, can also be oddly exhilarating. However, it serves a crucial purpose as an instinctual reaction to danger, potentially enhancing our

Toyota’s Soft Humanoid Grasps Objects with Entire Body

The majority of humanoid robots typically use their hands to pick up objects, but this method doesn’t mimic human behavior accurately, especially when dealing with bulky items. Humans utilize not only their hands but also their chests, hips, and arms in such situations. Toyota’s innovative soft robot is designed with this human-like functionality in mind.

Self-Fueling Synthetic Protein Motor “Mows”

The body uses tiny machines made of proteins to do important jobs. These machines help with things like cell division and moving around inside cells. Now, scientists made their own version called ‘The Lawnmower.’ It works like the natural machines moving itself using the energy it gets from cutting through proteins. This could lead to
