A head-mounted ultrasound device has recently undergone two human trials, demonstrating its potential to alleviate pain and depression effectively. The device, named the Diadem, was developed by researchers at the University of Utah and resembles an elaborate headphone band. It employs neuromodulation, using ultrasonic waves to target specific brain areas. For these trials, it focused

The subatomic world is challenging to visualize not only because of its minute scale but also due to its incredibly rapid dynamics. Physicists at the University of Arizona have now developed the world’s fastest electron microscope, capable of capturing events that last just one quintillionth of a second. The Challenge of Capturing Attosecond Events While
