People with higher muscle mass appear to exhibit reduced indicators of brain aging, according to newly released research. The study, which is still awaiting peer review, appears at the yearly conference of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). The study raises concerns that GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro may reduce both fat […]

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 human chest, initially the size of a room, fills your entire view. With a few commands, you shrink it to a tiny speck, then restore it to life-size and lay it flat. You peel away the skin and layers of muscle and organs, while informative text floats in the air, projected by your headset

Atlas, CU Denver’s robotic dog, navigated the crawlspace of the Anythink Nature Library construction site in Thornton last month, its lights flashing as it worked its way through narrow, dim corridors. At the entrance, Associate Professor Moatassem Abdallah and seven students analyzed Atlas’s 360° footage and sensor data to guide the project’s next phases. The

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

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

Stuttgart team teleports quantum state between separate photonsThis breakthrough enables quantum information to travel long distances through repeaters made of ‘quantum dots’ without loss or interference. Unlike standard internet signals, which can be amplified along the way, quantum information requires photons that are nearly identical. Quantum dots—special semiconductors that emit light at extremely precise frequencies—can

Tardigrades are among the toughest animals, surviving dehydration, freezing, and space radiation. Recent findings offer more promising news: their favorite habitat might also endure space travel unharmed. Experiments by Chang-hyun Maeng at Hokkaido University show mosses can endure harsh conditions outside a spacecraft. The biologist and his team studied which parts of Physcomitrium patens—protonemata, germ

Scientists at UCLA report that the carrier molecule PP045 can generate fully formed hair strands. UCLA researchers have discovered a small molecule capable of reactivating dormant yet intact hair follicles. In early human tests, applying the carrier molecule PP405 to the scalp nightly for a week showed encouraging outcomes. “Nearly everyone faces hair loss at

Paradromics, a U.S. BCI startup, is emerging as a key neural tech contender after FDA approval for a human trial of its speech-restoration implant for people with paralysis. The Austin-based company, with multiple FDA Breakthrough Device designations, received IDE approval for its Connexus BCI Connect-One Early Feasibility Study. It is the first company to obtain
