Travelling into the Unthinkable…
A team of scientists has uncovered details of the neural mechanisms underlying the perception of objects. They found that patterns of neural signals, called traveling brain waves, exist in the visual system of the awake brain and are organized to allow the brain to perceive objects that are faint or otherwise difficult to see.

Creating. Roaming free. (Will you kill me?)
Robots exploring deep bodies of water can only go so far before needing to recharge and upload data. Purdue University engineers have designed a mobile docking station system that would help them go farther. (1) How proud we are when creating something. Especially when creating something autonomous. Something that will roam free and independent. So…

Can you accept yourself?
Researchers have now developed a new model that describes driving behavior on the basis of one underlying 'human' principle: managing the risk below a threshold level. This model can accurately predict human behavior during a wide range of driving tasks. In time, the model could be used in intelligent cars, to make them feel less…

Cooking spaghetti… Devouring the cosmos…
UC Berkeley archaeologists have discovered that unglazed ceramic cookware can retain the residue of not just the last supper cooked, but earlier meals as well, opening a window onto gastronomic practices possibly going back millennia. (1) At some point we might even recreate the old recipes. But we will never be with those people eating.…

Predicting.
A new technology that uses a protein's structure to predict the inner wiring that controls the protein's function and dynamics is now available for scientists to utilize. The tool may be useful for protein engineering and drug design. (1) Predicting. The future. But what does it matter? Will you not be dead until we learn…
