Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden and the University of Auckland in New Zealand have developed an ultrathin bioelectric implant that improved movement in rats with spinal cord injuries. The implant uses a low-frequency pulsed electric field to promote regeneration of axons and improve outcomes. The study, published in Nature Communications, demonstrates the…
Mathematicians have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of sphere packing, a problem that has puzzled experts for nearly a century. Boaz Klartag, a mathematician, has achieved a significant breakthrough by resuscitating an old technique to pack spheres in high dimensions. This achievement has the potential to impact various fields, including cryptography and long-distance…
As generative AI becomes more ubiquitous, concerns are growing about its environmental impact. Large language models (LLMs) are particularly energy-hungry, with some models producing up to 50 times more CO₂ emissions than others. The carbon footprint of LLMs is difficult to measure due to the lack of transparency from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, but…
Scientists in Switzerland and Japan have made a groundbreaking discovery that materials at the bottom of the Earth’s mantle flow like a massive river. This finding could reshape our understanding of the dynamics at play deep within our planet’s interior. Researchers have confirmed that the post-perovskite mineral, which is rigid in one direction and softer…
Okalio Mining, a reputable cloud mining platform, has launched a series of limited-time welfare activities to reward its global users. The event, which runs from July 5 to 7, 2025, offers cash rewards, bonuses, and free mining start-up funds to users who participate in various activities such as inviting friends, purchasing designated contracts, and registering…
Scientists are warning of a new form of heat-related health issue: chronic heat. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures, even without reaching heat wave levels, can lead to serious health problems such as kidney dysfunction, sleep apnea, and depression. As climate change increases the number of hot days worldwide, there is an urgent need for research…
