New Compound Restores Memory Function in Alzheimer’s Cases

Healthcare, Neuroscience, Science /

Instead of focusing on fighting the plaques associated with Alzheimer’s, researchers decided to explore the possibility of increasing electrical oscillations in the brain. They created a molecule that successfully achieved this in mice, offering hope for a new treatment approach in humans. Rethinking the Role of Brain Plaques in Alzheimer’s Disease It’s increasingly clear that […]

Ancient Hydraulic Lift Systems may Have Aided Pyramid Construction

History, Science, Social /

The ingenuity of ancient Egyptian engineers might have been even more advanced than previously thought. A new study proposes that an unexplained ancient structure could have been part of a water purification system, powering a hydraulic lift to raise massive stone blocks for pyramid construction. From our perspective thousands of years later, we have lost

Wall-Building Robot Considered for Constructing Blast Shields on the Moon

Astronomy, Planetary Science /

Living on the Moon means that rockets will be your sole mode of transportation to Earth or Mars. However, each launch will create a storm of debris. Autonomous rovers might one day be responsible for building walls to contain this mess. During the Apollo 12 mission in 1969, astronauts retrieved parts from the Surveyor III

Thornless Roses from Genetic Modifications Lead to Better Crops

Biology, Genetics, Science /

Everyone adores roses, but they’d be even more enjoyable without their sharp thorns. Scientists have now developed a way to grow thornless roses, which could simplify crop harvesting. It’s worth noting that some rose varieties are naturally thornless. However, most plants don’t fall into this category. Many crop plants, like blackberries and eggplants, along with
