Researchers found encouraging results for treating depression with a video game interface that targets underlying cognitive issues linked with depression rather than just managing the symptoms.
By suspending tiny metal nanoparticles in liquids, scientists are brewing up conductive ink-jet printer "inks" to print inexpensive, customizable circuit patterns.
The transparent, self-healing, and highly stretchable conductive material can be activated to power artificial muscles and improve batteries, electronics, and robots.
In a step that brings silicon-based quantum computers closer to reality, researchers have built a device in which a single electron can pass its quantum information to a particle of light.
"We see a big potential for this research to help people who are paralyzed or have neurodegenerative diseases to become more independent without a need for surgical implants."
