UCLA research shows a little night music prompts a big response from the brain, except in one key area. A unique study of brain activity in the cerebral cortex of epilepsy patients found there was a robust response to sound during sleep…

Politecnico di Milano, Stanford University, the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa, and the University of Glasgow recently published in the journal Light: Science & Applications. The researchers have found a way to separate and…

One of the craziest things a supermassive black hole can do is shred a star with its enormous tidal forces. The tidal disruption events are one of the very few ways astronomers know of the existence of supermassive black holes at the…

When researchers pulled sheets of single carbon atoms away from graphite to make graphene--the exfoliation technique paved the way for a wide range of two-dimensional materials with distinct electrical and physical characteristics for the…

Risk surrounds us. Researchers in the Faculty of Psychology at the University of Basel set out to discover how we look at risk and developed a new method to determine how society perceives it. The meaning of risk differs from individual…

Work satisfaction is at an all-time low. More than 65% of people report being dissatisfied with their work and are actively looking to improve their lives, starting with their jobs. What do leaders need to know, and how can they move…

Since Apple first launched its custom linear resonant actuator (LRA), Taptic Engine, in 2015, the market has moved beyond the simple rumbling and vibration of those days. It has shifted to high-definition tactile feedback giving a wide…

Bark Technologies will release its first-ever smartphone in Q4 of 2022. The phone will combine the company's award-winning content monitoring, filtering, and location software with additional features in a simple, all-in-one package that…

A collaborative effort by Electrobit and The Q Company will allow carmakers to reduce costs, accelerate development, and speed the time to market of advanced human-machine interfaces (HMIs). The solution brings together the Qt Device…

GigaSpaces and Wix are setting out to design a joint digital acceleration hub (DAH) to enable organizations to speed up creating and launching new digital services by up to 10x. Building new services will take days vs. months, enabling…

The American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected security algorithms CRYSTALS-KYBER, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, and SPHINCS+ as new standards for post-quantum cryptography. The underlying technology must ensure that…

Theoretical scientists used topological mathematics and machine learning to identify a hidden relationship between nano-scale structures and thermal conductivity in amorphous silicon. A study describing their work appeared in the Journal of…

A new ultra-thin film can create detailed 3D images viewable under normal illumination without special reading devices. Images appear to float on top of the film, allowing viewing from all angles. The glass-free approach could be used as a…

Salk scientists discovered an unexpected molecular target of a common treatment for alopecia. The findings, published in Nature Immunology, describe how immune cells called 'regulatory T cells' interact with skin cells using a hormone as a…

Working together across a range of tasks, called collective intelligence (CI), varies significantly between teams. The level of collective attention a team develops influences its level of CI. A new study examined the factors that enhanced…
