In an exciting development in the field of cancer research, Stanford University scientists have engineered a bioengineered molecule capable of forcing cancer cells to undergo apoptosis, or programmed cell death. This breakthrough, described in a recently published study, reactivates the body’s natural mechanism for eliminating damaged or mutated cells, effectively forcing cancer to self-destruct. If […]

The rise of neurotechnology—the intersection of neuroscience and technology—has brought us closer than ever to the possibility of recording, interpreting, and even manipulating neural data. Neural data refers to the electrical activity generated by our brains, which can be captured through technologies like brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), electroencephalography (EEG), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). These […]

Don't despair! Asier Romero Forgetting is part of our daily lives. You may walk into a room only to forget why you went in there – or perhaps someone says hi on the street and you can’t remember their name. But why do we forget things? Is it simply a sign of memory impairment, or […]
