Brain implant technology is rapidly advancing and can help people find their voice or beat neurological disorders. But what happens when the implant is no longer supported by its producer? Science Alert has more on the technology’s huge potential and its downsides: https://flip.it/yDq3i5 #Science Health #Brain#Technology
#PPOD: This artist's concept illustrates Kepler-16b, the first planet known to definitively orbit two stars -- what's called a circumbinary planet. The planet, which can be seen in the foreground, was discovered by NASA's Kepler mission. The two orbiting stars regularly eclipse each other, as seen from our point of view on Earth.

Here's one of the few more modern articles I found about this Arc gene and how brains work. "Arc Regulates Transcription of Genes for Plasticity, Excitability and Alzheimer’s Disease" https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9405677/
Natron Energy, a pioneer in sodium-ion battery technology, has officially commenced mass production of its lithium-free sodium batteries in its Holland, Michigan facility. Offering an alternative energy storage solution with benefits such as faster cycling, longer lifespan, and safer usage compared to lithium-ion batteries.
"Some scientists can't stop using AI to write research papers
If you read about 'meticulous commendable intricacy' there's a chance a boffin had help"
"Using AI models can be very risky as they often produce inaccurate text, the very thing scientific literature is not supposed to do. AI models can even fabricate quotations and citations,..."
Ok, peoples. It's that time of year again. I'm going to need two volunteers. I know most of you already do flutracking but there must be two (Australian/NZ) stragglers among you?
It is - and I'm not exaggerating - thirty seconds of your time on a Monday morning. And you'll be doing science!
Copper coating turns touchscreens into bacteria killers | In tests, the TANCS was found to kill 99.9% of applied bacteria within two hours. It also remained intact and effective after being subjected to the equivalent of being wiped down with cleansers twice a day for two years. https://www.byteseu.com/79148/#Science
