Scientists at MIT have made a significant breakthrough in brain stimulation by developing magnetic nanoparticles called magnetoelectric nanodiscs (MENDs) that can be used to stimulate neurons without the need for invasive surgery. These nanoparticles, which are approximately 250 nm across, can be injected into a specific location in the brain and stimulated with an electromagnet…
Researchers at Google have successfully used real-time data from around 40 million mobile phones to map conditions in the ionosphere, a region of the upper atmosphere where some air molecules are ionized. This breakthrough could improve satellite navigation, especially in areas where data are scarce, such as Africa, South America, and South Asia. The study,…

Human-caused climate change is intensifying Atlantic hurricanes by a whole category on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, according to two new studies. The research found that climate change enhanced the maximum wind speeds of hurricanes by an average of about 29 kilometers per hour (18 miles per hour) from 2019 to 2023. This increase in…
In a surprising turn of events, OpenAI has accidentally deleted data potentially relevant to a copyright lawsuit filed by The New York Times and Daily News. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI scraped their works to train its AI models without permission. OpenAI engineers erased the data, but were able to recover most of it, albeit…
Scientists in the STAR Collaboration have made a groundbreaking discovery by developing a new method to investigate the shapes of atomic nuclei through high-energy collisions. This innovative approach offers unprecedented insight into nuclear structure and promises to deepen our understanding of strong nuclear forces and their role in the composition of neutron stars and the…
