| Swirling data: Boosting computing power and info transfer rates tenfold Posted: 28 Jul 2016 12:50 PM PDT Like a whirlpool, a new light-based communication tool carries data in a swift, circular motion. The optics advancement could become a central component of next generation computers designed to handle society's growing demand for information sharing. It may also be a salve to those fretting over the predicted end of Moore's Law. |
| No dream: Electric brain stimulation during sleep can boost memory Posted: 28 Jul 2016 11:32 AM PDT For the first time, scientists report using transcranial alternating current stimulation, or tACS, to target a specific kind of brain activity during sleep and strengthen memory in healthy people. |

| Physicist offers leading theory about mysterious Large Hadron Collider excess Posted: 28 Jul 2016 08:03 AM PDT In December of last year, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider in Europe announced startling results hinting at the existence of an undiscovered subatomic particle -- one with a mass six times heavier than the Higgs boson, the particle that made headlines in 2012. The evidence is still thin, but if more data confirm the finding, it could sharpen humankind's understanding of the building blocks of the universe. |
| Microswimmer robot chains can decouple and reconnect in a magnetic field Posted: 28 Jul 2016 07:12 AM PDT Researchers have successfully pulled off a feat that both sci-fi fans and Michael Phelps could appreciate. Using a rotating magnetic field they show how multiple chains of microscopic magnetic bead-based robots can link up to reach impressive speeds swimming through in a microfluidic environment. Their finding is the latest step toward using the so-called 'microswimmers' to deliver medicine and perform surgery inside the body. |
| Brain areas altered during hypnotic trances identified Posted: 28 Jul 2016 07:09 AM PDT By scanning the brains of subjects while they were hypnotized, researchers were able to see the neural changes associated with hypnosis. |
