From Chile to China, cultures vary greatly around the globe, but people in at least a dozen countries agree about what it means to be cool, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.
Tech Xplore / Brain-computer interface robotic hand control reaches new finger-level milestone
Robotic systems have the potential to greatly enhance daily living for the over one billion individuals worldwide who experience some form of disability. Brain-computer interfaces or BCIs present a compelling option by enabling ...
Medical Xpress / AI performs virtual tissue staining at super-resolution
Traditional histopathology, crucial for disease diagnosis, relies on chemically staining tissue samples to highlight cellular structures for microscopic examination by pathologists. This labor-intensive "histochemical staining" ...
Medical Xpress / Pandemic pet ownership study finds no lasting impact on human well-being
A new study challenges the belief in a universal "pet effect" on human well-being. Using data collected during COVID-19 lockdowns, researchers found no significant change in respondents' well-being when they acquired or lost ...
