A brain–computer interface could slow cognitive decline
This new brain–computer interface detects weakened brain signals and boosts them to healthy levels, potentially reversing cognitive aging in the brain.
Future biohybrid robots to be powered by living muscle tissue
These biohybrid machines combine robotics with living tissues to create flexible robots powered by biology.
These “living” contact lenses self lubricate to avoid dry eyes
Bacterial biofactories embedded in the rim of the lens continually produce hyaluronic acid, a natural lubricant, to keep the contacts moist.
Quantum proofing passwords and artwork with DNA encryption
Chaotic pools of DNA could be the future of encryption, proving authenticity of artwork or securing passwords against quantum computers.
How the bias in algorithms can help us spot our own
People recognize their own biases in algorithms’ decisions more than they do in their own—even when those decisions are the same.
Electronic socks prevent foot-related complications in diabetic patients
An electronic sock detects an “unhealthy” walking style linked with diabetes and poor circulation to prevent foot ulcers and amputation.
Goldene, graphene’s golden cousin produced for the first time
Scientists have managed to create sheets of gold only a single atom thick using a hundred-year-old Japanese smithing method.
Laser light induces magnetism at room temperature
Scientists create magnetism in a non-magnet at room temperature for the first time, with implications in quantum tech and computer science.
