New research suggests that these super-memorisers aren’t all that different to us, and that even average human brains can be taught the same skills with just a little over a month’s training.In fact, the brain of a person with average…
A team of researchers from the U.S. and U.K. have perfected a new technique to grow a fully formed human ear, using patients’ own stem cells. They begin with a 3D-printed polymer mold of an ear, which is then implanted…
Defying one of the most fundamental laws of conductors, researchers have identified a metal that conducts electricity without conducting heat.This discovery is of fundamental importance for understanding the basic electronic behaviour of novel conductors. Read more in science alert …
We use our mind every second of every day, but it’s safe to say no one understands exactly how it functions. Even psychologists and neuroscientists are often stumped by why we think and behave the way we do.Some of those…
Geneticists have found clear evidence that the choices people make can have profound impacts on the evolution of entire populations, and ultimately, our species as well.Some striking examples have been found like that both women and men are currently under…
A new study from Iowa State University suggests that the more you use your brain, the better it is at remembering things. By giving it regular workouts, you’ll keep it healthy and better able to fight off Alzheimer’s Read more…
There are still a lot of questions to be answered – right now scientists really don’t know how the seasons could be affecting our brain’s performance, particularly given that the link appears to be independent of light. read more in…
The allergen is a Trojan horse of sort. Much like the Greeks who slipped into the city of Troy, the allergen slips by disguised inside a friendly outer shell. read more in mnn Did researchers find a cure for allergies…
The good news for us humans is that researchers now finally understand the biological mechanism that drives this super-powered ability, and it could one day help us regenerate our limbs too. read more in science alert Researchers have finally figured…
Scientists in the US have identified a common genomic signature in tumour DNA that is shared by five different kinds of cancer read more in science alert A simple blood test could diagnose 5 deadly cancers By Peter Dockril was…
