The benefits of smart cities will only be realised when digital infrastructures can cope, says Neil Cresswell, VIRTUS Data Centres. What’s the role of next-generation data centres?
The DNA of Decision-Making
Posted in biotech/medical, food, genetics
Summary: A novel study uncovers a peculiar pattern of decision-making in mice, influenced by a specific gene named Arc.
While searching for food, mice repeatedly visited an empty location instead of staying at a site abundant in food. However, mice lacking the Arc gene demonstrated a more practical approach, sticking with the food-rich site, thereby consuming more calories overall.
This unique research potentially opens the door for a new field, ‘decision genetics’, investigating the genetic influence on decision-making, possibly even in humans.

Year 2022 😗
A team of researchers found that a simulated black hole could have multiple masses simultaneously.
In December 2022, founder Elon Musk gave an update on his other, other company, the brain implant startup Neuralink. As early as 2020, the company had been saying it was close to starting clinical trials of the implants, but the December update suggested those were still six months away. This time, it seems that the company was correct, as it now claims that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given its approval for the start of human testing.
Neuralink is not ready to start recruiting test subjects, and there are no details about what the trials will entail. Searching the ClinicalTrials.gov database for “Neuralink” also turns up nothing. Typically, the initial trials are small and focused entirely on safety rather than effectiveness. Given that Neuralink is developing both brain implants and a surgical robot to do the implanting, there will be a lot that needs testing.
It’s likely that these will focus on the implants first, given that other implants have already been tested in humans, whereas an equivalent surgical robot has not.

Although the sun is becoming increasingly active as the July 2025 solar maximum — the peak of the sun’s 11-year cycle — draws closer, the photos showcase the quieter aspects of the solar surface.
A group of computer scientists from the University of Toronto wants to make it easier to film how-to videos.
The team of researchers have developed Stargazer, an interactive camera robot that helps university instructors and other content creators create engaging tutorial videos demonstrating physical skills.
For those without access to a cameraperson, Stargazer can capture dynamic instructional videos and address the constraints of working with static cameras.
