A new study from Cornell University reveals that the brain resets memory during sleep to prevent overloading and allow for continuous learning. The process involves silencing specific neurons in the hippocampus, a region crucial for memory consolidation. During learning, neurons in the hippocampus are activated, and this activity is repeated during sleep. However, researchers found … Read more

Elon Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok, has recently released a new feature that allows users to generate fake images without any safeguards in place. This means that anyone can create and upload fake images of people or events, including controversial ones like Donald Trump smoking marijuana on the Joe Rogan show. However, it’s not actually Elon … Read more
Researchers at Utrecht University have discovered a new mechanism by which Huntington’s disease causes neuronal death. They found that toxic protein aggregates from a mutated huntingtin protein can damage the nuclear envelope, leading to DNA damage and gene misregulation in neurons. The study reveals that the aggregates poke holes in the membrane that separates the … Read more
A popular Airbnb host, Ashley, has been forced to implement a new rule after guests left her house in a state that will leave you scratching your head. The unusual situation arose when the guests spent three weeks at Ashley’s property, hauling out at least ten computers and setting up an improvised electric vehicle charging … Read more
Researchers from the University of California, Irvine have developed a one-dimensional nanoscale material that can change color in response to temperature changes. The material, described as “nano-scale mood rings,” has the potential to revolutionize the way we measure temperature at the nanoscale. Led by Professor Maxx Arguilla, the team grew crystals that resemble helical “slinkies” … Read more
Elon Musk’s financial struggles with X, formerly Twitter, are causing concern among investors and analysts. The company’s revenue has plummeted by 84% since 2022, according to the New York Times.

Helicopter parenting is a style of parenting that involves overprotective and overly controlling behaviors, particularly during the transition to adulthood. This … Read more
Scientists at NASA’s Cold Atom Lab onboard the International Space Station (ISS) have made a groundbreaking achievement by successfully using a quantum sensor based on ultra-cold atoms of the element Rubidium to make high-precision measurements. This milestone has far-reaching implications, as these sensors could surpass traditional ones in sensitivity and accuracy, enabling advancements in fields … Read more
New research suggests that neuroticism, a personality trait characterized by frequent negative emotions, is linked to lower total brain volume – but only for individuals with low behavioral adjustment. Those who are more adaptable and able to adjust their behavior in response to changing situations appear to be shielded from the potential negative effects of … Read more
