Credit: Pixabay Reducing calorie intake and regularly delaying meals could be an effective approach to extending lifespan, but there may be trade-offs. A large U.S. study involving nearly 1,000 mice indicates that while food restriction leads to metabolic changes and lower body mass, these effects could pose health risks for certain individuals. Numerous studies have consistently...
"Depth Pro synthesizes high-resolution depth maps with unparalleled sharpness and high-frequency details" Apple's Machine Learning Research team has created a foundational AI model for "zero-shot metric monocular depth estimation." Depth Pro allows for the rapid generation of detailed 3D depth maps from a single 2D image. Our brains interpret visual information from two sources—our eyes. Each...
Mice and rats could use ultrasonic pulses to boost their sense of smell. Credit: Pixabay Rodents communicate in sounds too high-pitched for human hearing, but scientists have discovered these vocalizations may serve another function—enhancing their sense of smell. The high-pitched squeaks of cartoon mice aren't too far from reality. For decades, scientists have documented rodents using...

A study published in Neurology suggests that closely following the MIND diet may lower the risk of cognitive impairment, with a stronger effect observed in women and Black participants. While the study shows an association between the diet and reduced risk, it does not prove causation. Credit: Pixabay A study published in Neurology, the journal...

In a study conducted in China, scientists observed that mice exhibiting Alzheimer-like symptoms had a notably...
ABENICS can roll, pitch, and yaw in every directionYamagata University At its core, this system created at Yamagata University in Japan utilizes a "simple" cross-spherical gear combined with a monopole gear to manage pitch, roll, and yaw. This mimics the full range of motion found in a human rotator cuff (the shoulder). Thanks to innovative...
A Synchron trial participant controlling Alexa just by thinking about which interface buttons to pressSynchron Neurotech company Synchron has recently achieved significant progress. It has announced that a trial participant used its brain-computer interface (BCI) to control his home by turning on lights, checking who was at the door, and selecting TV content—all without using...
