Researchers Find Diminished Brain Volume in Adolescents Who Smoke

Healthcare, Science /

Neuroimaging indicates that individuals with a higher likelihood of taking up smoking during their teenage years tend to exhibit diminished gray matter in two critical brain regions. These findings suggest that these regions may have a substantial impact on inhibition and the development of addiction. “Smoking stands as one of the most prevalent addictive behaviors […]

A Dog-Like Robot Runs Autonomously Once Started

Robotics, Science /

In recent times, there has been a surge in quadruped “robotic dogs,” but they typically rely on control motors to sustain their running movements. In contrast, a novel experimental version continues to run independently after being initiated. A Canadian robotics student named Mickaël Achkar developed the device at Switzerland’s EPFL research institute by utilizing motion-capture
