Scientists have uncovered the physics behind the unique rosette shape of Swiss cheese, known as Tête de Moine. The discovery reveals that the friction between the cheese and a specially designed blade creates a length mismatch, resulting in the characteristic frilly shape. This shape affects the flavor of the cheese, allowing it to mix with…
The video game industry has seen a rise in anti-cheat measures as cheaters adapt and develop new ways to gain an unfair advantage. Riot Games’ Vanguard anti-cheat system has been successful in reducing cheaters in Valorant, but the industry is expected to continue evolving as cheaters find new ways to exploit vulnerabilities. Forecast for 6…
Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have made a significant breakthrough in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). They found that the same part of the brain used for speech decoding can also support computer cursor control for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). This discovery has the potential to enable the creation of multi-modal BCIs that…
The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a new policy that will end billions of dollars in funding to laboratories and hospitals outside the United States. This move is expected to imperil thousands of global-health projects and clinical trials on topics such as emerging infectious diseases and cancer. The policy change aims to…
