The harder your brain works at your job, the less likely you may be to have memory and thinking problems later in life, according to a new study. This study does not prove that stimulating work prevents mild cognitive impairment. It only shows an association. The harder your brain works at your job, the less …
Does using your brain more at work help ward off thinking, memory problems? Read More »
Thought emerges and is controlled in the brain via the rhythmically and spatially coordinated activity of millions of neurons, scientists argue in a new article. Understanding cognition and its disorders requires studying it at that level. Thought emerges and is controlled in the brain via the rhythmically and spatially coordinated activity of millions of neurons, …
Tyche is a machine-learning framework that can generate plausible answers when asked to identify potential disease in medical images. By capturing the ambiguity in images, the technique could prevent clinicians from missing crucial information that could inform diagnoses.

New research is shedding light on one barrier to a clean energy future: corrosion. Using nanoscale imaging techniques, researchers have captured high-resolution videos of tiny crystals of ruthenium dioxide — a key ingredient used to produce clean-burning hydrogen — as they are eaten away by their acidic environment. The research could pave the way to …
