A new Wi-Fi technology promises to power small electronic devices without the need for batteries. By harnessing ambient Wi-Fi signals, this innovation could extend the life of devices like sensors and wearables, making them more sustainable and reducing electronic waste.…
A new study claims a physics equations pattern follows a simple law. We explain the idea, how it differs from Zipf’s law, and what it means for AI search.
Could physical laws share a universal mathematical grammar? A new preprint finds a simple pattern in equations that could speed up AI equation discovery.
Neuroplasticity and aging show the brain can still change in adult life. Practice, challenge, and attention help, but plasticity is not magic.
Researchers report that phytoene, a natural carotenoid pigment found in many fruits and vegetables, helped laboratory worms live longer and show fewer signs linked to Alzheimer’s disease. In tests with the model animal Caenorhabditis elegans, phytoene lengthened lifespan and delayed…
Reactivating positive memories during non-REM sleep can weaken the recall of associated negative memories. This sleep-based technique, known as targeted memory reactivation (TMR), involves presenting auditory cues linked to positive experiences during sleep, leading to a reduction in negative memory…
Openness is a personality trait that means seeking and enjoying new and unfamiliar things. Research in psychology and neuroscience links greater openness with benefits for thinking and mood. People who are more open tend to explore more, learn faster, and…
After age 40, the brain undergoes significant reorganization, integrating its networks more extensively. This shift aims to optimize function with diminishing resources and aging structures. While this “rewiring” can affect executive functions like flexible thinking and abstract reasoning, tasks reliant…
videoVideo (in French) According to Professor Martine Duclos, endocrinologist. Muscle strength is a good marker of a person’s health, particularly their risk of mortality or developing cardiovascular diseases. In the study cited, individuals with the lowest muscle strength had: Muscle…
