Professor Dr. Petra Ritter's team has, for the first time, elucidated the movement of brain activity waves through a computer simulation. Previous research suggests these waves play a crucial role in cognitive functions like memory. Professor Dr. Petra Ritter, Johanna Quandt Professor at BIH, leads the brain simulation research group and heads the Brain Simulation...
Scientists in China have created a transparent material from old bamboo, which is resistant to fire, water, and smoke suppression. However, silica glass, a sand-based building material, commonly serves as transparent, strong windows, but it lacks sustainability and can be heavy and brittle.
Hysata guarantees the world's most affordable hydrogen with a groundbreaking device that splits water into H2 and O2 at 95% efficiency, which is about 20% more efficient than the top conventional electrolyzers. The company has secured US$111 million to expand production. Hydrogen production typically wastes 20-30% of renewable energy, contributing to high costs. Australian company...

Researchers observed these distinctions in the white matter, which primarily resides in the innermost layer of the human brain and facilitates communication between different brain regions. Men and...
Pyroclastic flow and clouds of volcanic ash as Krakatoa eruptsDepositphotos When a region finds itself covered in volcanic ash, it's usually not a positive development. However, researchers from the University of Barcelona have uncovered a unique set of beneficial characteristics in volcanic ash, rendering it remarkably valuable as an energy storage medium. We've discussed both incredibly...

Rick Slayman has inspired millions, his family has noted The initial successful transplantation of a genetically modified pig kidney into a human recipient continues to be celebrated as a significant medical breakthrough and achievement, despite the unfortunate passing of the recipient. Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), where 62-year-old Richard "Rick" Slayman underwent the groundbreaking procedure, clarified that...
Credit: Pixabay In recent years, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) has captivated many scientists. Some are now exploring the concept of artificial superintelligence (ASI), envisioning AI that not only exceeds human intelligence but also transcends human learning limitations. But what if reaching this milestone isn't just an extraordinary feat? What if it also marks...
