Particle Accelerator Tech from CERN now Treats Brain Tumors

Timepix3 was originally designed for particle detection for giant accelerators like the one at CERNCERNTransitioning from colossal 26 km (16 miles) particle accelerators to operating rooms for brain surgeries, a particle detector initially engineered by physicists at CERN is now employed by researchers in Germany to enhance the precision and safety of brain tumor...

Video-to-Sound Tech Helps Visually Impaired Recognize Faces

Sensory substitution devices translated basic faces and other shapes into auditory waveforms that blind and sighted subjects were trained to recognizeGenerated by DALL-ENeuroscientists have demonstrated that blind individuals use the same brain regions as sighted people to recognize basic faces, even when the facial information is presented through audio rather than the visual cortex....
