Medical Xpress / Pause and rewind: How the brain keeps time to control action
Whether speaking or swinging a bat, precise and adaptable timing of movement is essential for everyday behavior. Although we do not have sensory organs like eyes or a nose to sense time, we can keep time and control the timing ...
Medical Xpress / Advocacy groups urge parents to avoid AI toys this holiday season
They're cute, even cuddly, and promise learning and companionship—but artificial intelligence toys are not safe for kids, according to children's and consumer advocacy groups urging parents not to buy them during the holiday ...
Dialog / Drop-to-deploy: How bistable mechanics unfold structures in under a second
Traditional deployable systems—relying on pneumatic pumps, electric motors, magnets, or manual assembly—often require bulky power systems or multiple steps. We began exploring whether a simpler, non-electronic alternative ...
Medical Xpress / Bacteria 'pills' could detect gut diseases—without the endoscope
Colonoscopies may one day have some competition—researchers report in ACS Sensors that they've developed a sensor made of tiny microspheres packed with blood-sensing bacteria that detect markers of gastrointestinal disease. ...
