This new discovery blurs the line between being asleep and awake . Credit: Pixabay Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery: a small region of our brain shuts down briefly to take microsecond-long naps while we're awake. Interestingly, these same areas become active during sleep. These findings could provide crucial insights into neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases associated...
PrivacyLens captures standard digital video with the round lens, while the square lens senses heatBrenda Ahearn, Michigan Engineering Keeping a sense of privacy in a world where cameras are ubiquitous is increasingly challenging. Surveillance isn't limited to public spaces anymore—it extends into our homes through devices like baby monitors, webcams, and even inconspicuous cameras in...
The six-legged guide dog is aimed at addressing a shortfall of real service dogs in ChinaShanghai Jiao Tong University In China, there is approximately one guide dog for every 40,000 blind individuals. To address this shortage and ensure safe navigation for users, researchers are developing a six-legged, AI-enhanced robotic dog. According to a press release citing...
Credit: Depositphotos Scientists have discovered a new source of dangerous "forever chemical" pollution in the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries used in most electric vehicles. Certain lithium-ion battery technologies incorporate PFAS chemicals (per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances) to reduce flammability and improve electrical conductivity. According to a peer-reviewed study in the journal Nature Communications, scientists have found high levels of PFAS...

Credit: Pixabay The University of Leeds has revealed the genuine climate impact of long-distance passenger travel in recent research. Although trips over 50 miles (one way) account for less than 3% of all travel by UK residents, they contribute 70% of all passenger travel-related carbon emissions. This disparity is even more pronounced with international travel, which...
