Brain’s Structural and Functional Alignment Can Differ with Sex, Age and Is Possibly Genetic, Research Suggests

The level to which the brain's wiring aligns with its activity patterns can differ with sex and age and could be hereditary, proposes research published by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators. The study finds that this alignment might additionally have ramifications on cognition. The results released July 12 in Nature Communications assist shed light on one...

Expanding Human-Robot Collaboration in Manufacturing by Training AI to Detect the Human Intention

Machines and robots certainly make life less complicated. They conducted jobs with precision as well as speed, and, unlike humans, they do not need breaks as they are never tired. Consequently, businesses want to utilize them increasingly more in their production procedures to improve productivity and eliminate filthy, hazardous, and dull tasks. Nevertheless, there are still...

Hybrid-Electric Airplane Idea May Reduce Aviation’s Air Pollution Trouble

The proposed layout might minimize nitrogen oxide exhausts by 95 percent, a brand-new study finds. At cruising altitude, planes launch a constant stream of nitrogen oxides into the environment, where the chemicals can stick around to create ozone and fine particulates. Nitrogen oxides, or NOx, are a significant source of air contamination and are connected...

Researchers Finally Find an Universal Formula for the Shape of an Egg

Scientists from the University of Kent, the Research Institute for Environment Treatment, and Vita-Market Ltd have found the universal mathematical formula that can explain any bird's egg existing in nature, which has been unsuccessful previously. Egg-shape has long drawn in the interest of mathematicians, engineers, and biologists from an analytical point of view. The shape...

This can influence a new class of medical diagnostics along with a host of various other applications. This technology entails customizable collections of proteins affixed to...

Neuromorphic Chip: Artificial Neurons Identify Biosignals in Real Time

The neuromorphic chip reliably and precisely detects high-frequency oscillations in previously recorded intracranial EEG. Credit: UZH, ETHZ, USZ Scientists from Zurich have created a portable, energy-efficient gadget made from synthetic neurons that can decode brainwaves. The chip uses information recorded from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients to determine which regions of the brain cause epileptic...

Brain Memory Signals Connected to Blood Glucose Levels in New Research

A set of brain signals known to assist memories form may additionally influence blood glucose levels, finds brand-new research in rats. Researchers at NYU Grossman College of Medicine discovered that a strange signaling pattern in the brain area called the hippocampus, connected by previous studies to memory development, likewise affects the metabolic process, the procedure...

MIT Researchers Devised a Means to Program Memories Into Microbial Cells by Revising Their DNA

MIT researchers have devised a way to program memories into bacterial cells by rewriting their DNA more efficiently. Credit: MIT News, iStockphoto Organic engineers at MIT have created a brand-new way to edit bacterial genomes successfully and program memories right into microbial cells by revising their DNA. Using this technique, various spatial and temporal information...

Genetically Modified Trees are Seen as a Solution by These Scientists to Absorb Excess Carbon in the World
