As Brain Organoids Mature, Ethical Questions Arise
Posted by James Christian Smith in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
…from 2017/2018 that helped me understand the creation of Master Splinter.
Inserting human “mini-brains” into rodents has the potential to broaden scientists’ understanding of neurological disease, but raises quandaries about consciousness.

The outlet glacier of Vavilov Ice Cap has gone from sliding 20 meters per year to 20 meters per day
Posted by Michael Lance in category: space
What triggered this dramatic surge is still unknown, but with our NASA Earth satellites data we now have a time-lapse of the damage. Dive into the situation: https://go.nasa.gov/2GqgJaV

‘Sewing machine’ robot paves the way for brain computers
Posted by Mike Ruban in categories: internet, robotics/AI
Imagine being able to play a song on your computer just by thinking of its title. Or transmitting your thoughts to a friend over the internet without uttering a word. Scientists have now invented a ‘sewing machine’ capable of stitching electrodes into the brain, which may one day help to make such things a reality.

Posted by James Christian Smith in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
Arab American University congrats and is proud of Dr. Thabat Al-Khatib and researcher in Applied Neuroscience, Dr. Al-Khatib graduated from the Faculty of Sciences and Arts at Arab American University in 2012. She succeeded to add her name on the list of innovators in Britain after the invention of a drug treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and received two patents.
Al Khatib is currently working at the University of Aberdeen – Faculty of Medicine as a researcher in Neuroscience dept. and aspires to be a lecturer in Palestine to add value to students and the community.
Al-Khatib said commenting on the two inventions:

Small ‘half-watch’ worn on leg could transform recovery from stroke
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: biotech/medical
Patients recovering from a stroke can slash their risk of blood clots by wearing a small “half wrist-watch” around their leg, a trial has shown.
A study at Royal Stoke University Hospital found the geko device could reduces the risk of clots compared to standard treatment, is comfortable to wear and could save the NHS cash.
Approved for use on the NHS for other conditions, the geko is a battery-powered, disposable, device designed to increase blood flow in the deep veins of the legs.

Physicists Observe Quantum Behavior in Liquid Vibrations
Posted by Genevieve Klien in category: quantum physics
For the first time, Yale physicists have directly observed quantum behavior in the vibrations of a liquid body.
A great deal of ongoing research is currently devoted to discovering and exploiting quantum effects in the motion of macroscopic objects made of solids and gases. This new experiment opens a potentially rich area of further study into the way quantum principles work on liquid bodies.
The findings come from the Yale lab of physics and applied physics professor Jack Harris, along with colleagues at the Kastler Brossel Laboratory in France. A study about the research appears in the journal Physical Review Letters.
