Noninvasive AI-based system translates brain signals into written text - Some physical injuries and neurological conditions can temporarily or permanently impair movement, leaving some people unable to speak, type on keyboards or use electronic devices. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), systems ...
Why Dreaming Leaves the Brain Running Low on Energy - The dreaming brain surges with energy, yet its neurons may consume it faster than they can replenish it. A new mouse study from Tohoku University has uncovered a surprising energy imbalance during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. As the brain entered this dream-rich stage, blood volume increased across...
Scientists map moon regolith to aid lunar bases - A strong foundation is key to any building, and this doesn't apply only to construction on Earth. As humanity slowly expands throughout the many worlds of our solar system, and possibly beyond, understanding planetary surfaces ...
New File Manager is C64’s Answer to Norton Commander - Norton was always a PC company — Norton Commander, the file manager that launched a thousand clones, was only ever available for DOS, like the rest of the company’s offerings …read more
New Research Questions Decades of Low-Fat Dairy Advice - Researchers found that people can consume three daily servings of full-fat dairy without adversely affecting body weight, body composition, energy metabolism, or blood lipid levels. For years, people scanning the dairy aisle have often been steered toward skim milk and reduced-fat products, largely because...
Spotting Emacs in the Wild - Emacs is one of the big classic text editors, right up there next to vi. It’s famous for its interface and its ubiquity across the *nix world. It’s such a …read more
Cells Join Forces To Survive Prolonged Mechanical Strain - When tissues are stretched for hours, their cells rebuild their internal support system. A cell’s nucleus is usually anchored inside a protective web of protein fibers. But when tissue remains stretched for hours, that arrangement can break apart. Researchers have discovered that epithelial cells respond...
Smart sensor identifies present molecules by remembering the past - Most sensors are designed to do only one thing: detect what passes through them. But what if a sensor could do more? To create a new generation of technology, researchers have looked to living systems for inspiration. If ...
Ancient Immune Protein Could Hold the Key to Better Cancer Immunotherapy - A protein known for circulating in the blood to fight infection plays a very different role when produced by cells inside tumors. A protein that emerged long before animals developed circulatory systems may influence whether cancer immunotherapy succeeds. Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan found...
Congratulations to the Frikkin Laser Winners! - Apparently you all love lasers just as much as we do. We put out a challenge to use, build, or otherwise abuse our favorite coherent light sources, and you responded. …read more
Researchers develop an AI framework for long-term bridge damage monitoring - Bridges are an important part of road systems. Monitoring them is essential for ensuring structural safety, as bridges develop cracks, concrete spalling and water leakage over time due to traffic loads, weather and environmental ...
Intrinsic plasmon canalization in the biaxial van der Waals crystal MoOCl 2 - Near the Drude zero crossing where one in-plane permittivity component changes sign, the biaxial crystal MoOCl 2 supports intrinsic diffraction-free canalized plasmon polaritons at wavelengths that are controlled by flake thickness.
Hackaday Links: August 2, 2026 - About a month ago, we brought you word that the commercial rescue mission designed by Katalyst Space to save NASA’s Swift gamma-ray observatory had reached orbit and early indicators were …read more
