Like many highly addictive drugs, ketamine causes a rush of dopamine in the brain. But new research in mice from the University of Geneva shows ketamine also blocks the brain process that leads to neuroplasticity, habit formation and compulsion. Source of Article
Engineers at the University of Vienna have developed a new composite material that makes an efficient filter for removing organic pollutants from water. The system uses super-porous “nano-sponges” embedded on a sheet of graphene. Source of Article
Researchers at the University at Buffalo have used Bluetooth earbuds and a deep learning AI system to diagnose three common ear conditions with a simple, non-invasive audio test that uses a sonar-like audio chirp to map out the ear structure. Source of Article
MIT scientists have uncovered a mechanism for how a common genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s contributes to the disease. It centers on lipid metabolism, and early investigations suggest it could eventually lead to new treatments for the disease. Source of Article
Though most projectors these days come with a wireless remote, and many have built-in speakers and app-based streaming entertainment on tap, the latest 1080p thrower from China's Wejoy cooks in touch interaction too – albeit via a stylus-like pen. Source of Article
The Roam Air is cheap, lightweight, practically focused, and capable of riding up to 180 km on a pair of removable batteries. It's been designed, developed and built in Kenya, to suit the needs of African riders in rural and urban areas. Source of Article
Scientists analyzing fossilized teeth unearthed in Bulgaria around 40 years ago have traced them to their original owner, which they believe to be Europe's last giant panda, a close relative of the giant pandas found in China today. Source of Article
Wearable electronics could soon be powered by dead microbes. New research out of UMass Amherst has demonstrated a biofilm that generates electricity from sweat, harnessing the corpses of dead bacteria – and it's at least as effective as a battery. Source of Article
Researchers have created some of the most advanced synthetic mouse embryos out of stem cells, removing the need for sperm, eggs and even a womb. The technology could help us understand development and eventually be used to grow organs for transplant. Source of Article
Another stunning example of the James Webb Space Telescope's power has arrived courtesy of the instrument's advanced infrared cameras, which have illuminated incredible new components of what's known as the Cartwheel Galaxy. Source of Article
