Casto et al. systematically examine language-responsive regions of the cerebellum with precision fMRI. They find one region that closely resembles the neocortical language network in its selectivity for language and response to linguistic manipulations. They also find three mixed-selective regions that respond to language but also to non-linguistic inputs.
A former professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, Horvath is now principal investigator of the U.K. research arm of Altos Labs, a longevity biotech company that says it is developing therapies that could reverse age-related diseases and disabilities.
Having precise and meaningful ways to measure aging could make it possible for drug developers like Altos Labs to test longevity treatments in people, Horvath says: “It’s a quintessential tool to find interventions for rejuvenation.”
As part of TIME’s series interviewing longevity leaders and influencers, we spoke to Horvath about his pioneering invention and what he thinks might be possible for human life extension.
Invites you to drift through a calm, cosmic timeline—from our early beginnings to the dream of space exploration—framed by the idea of Kardashev civilization levels. The narration moves at a soft, unhurried pace, gently explaining what Type I, II, and III energy milestones mean, and exploring hopeful paths through science, cooperation, and new ideas. A soothing, sleep-friendly focus makes this a peaceful listen for winding down, inviting quiet curiosity about big questions without rushing to conclusions.å\.
Korea’s research community has reached an important milestone on the path toward next-generation mobile communications with the development of a technology platform that brings the 6G era closer. Researchers expect that AI-Native mobile networks, in which artificial intelligence autonomously controls and optimizes the communication system, could achieve transmission efficiencies up to 10 times higher than those of 5G.
Breakthroughs in AI-based wireless access ETRI has completed the development of AI-based wireless access technology (AI-RAN), a core foundational technology for the 6G era, and has achieved significant results in paving the way for the AI-based next-generation mobile communication era.
The biggest feature of this technology is that it has applied AI to wireless transmission, network control, and edge computing throughout the network to reliably handle large volumes of data even in ultra-dense network environments.
Researchers have developed a breakthrough method to recover high-purity nickel, cobalt, manganese and lithium from spent lithium-ion batteries using a mild, sustainable solvent.
The process, detailed in the journal Sustainable Materials and Technologies, offers a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional high-temperature or chemical-intensive recycling methods.
Globally, around 500,000 metric tons of spent lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have already accumulated, and about 10% of spent batteries are fully recycled in Australia.
