Being connected to our Twitter and Facebook profiles at all times makes us seem smarter, but it actually undermines our intellectual abilities, according to a new study published by the Royal Society.
Between 5 and 10% of the population suffers from dyslexia, the reading disorder that prevents a correct understanding of the text and the sensory signals that surround them. Now, a team of researchers from the University of Oxford has produced a study in which it is stated that action video games are capable of improving the reading (dyslexia) and writing (dysgraphia) abilities of people suffering from these disorders. The study has been published in the journal Current Biology.
Researchers at the Freie Universität Berlin have developed a robot whose operation is inspired by the nervous system of the bee -which is relatively simple-, to perceive environmental stimuli and learn to react to them.
Researchers from the University of Copenhagen found next to the skeleton of a boy between 12,600 and 13,000 years old, found in a cemetery in Montana (USA), a hundred tools covered with red ocher, typical of the Clovis culture, one of the Oldest Native American civilizations. The DNA sequencing of this skeleton has given the key to finally locate the origins of this hunter culture. The research has been published in the journal Nature.
A tiny speck of light orbiting the Sun deep in our solar system is the newest member of the family of known comets. The discovery has been possible thanks to the team of astronomers of the European Space Agency (ESA) at the Teide Observatory Tenerife Asteroid Survey (TOTAS) and, therefore, it has been named after him.
A team of researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California has achieved a new milestone in physics: producing more energy than was used to trigger the fusion reaction. Physicists compressed the equivalent fuel to almost three times the density of the Sun's core. The results of the experiment have been published in the journals Nature and Physical Review Letters.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
