Scientists are making significant strides forward in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, and a newly developed system can translate our thoughts into text or sound. It’s essentially an inner speech decoder, developed by researchers from institutions across the US. In tests on four volunteers with severe paralysis, the decoder hit an accuracy rate of up to 74 percent in translating thoughts …

Rare malformations can cause animals to grow two heads – and it seems that kind of thing has been happening for millions of years. In 2006, paleontologists in China described a two-headed fossil from the age of dinosaurs. Hyphalosaurus is a small, aquatic reptile that lived more than 120 million years ago, and is known from thousands of fossils. But …

For the first time, scientists have captured a real-time view of a human embryo implanting in a laboratory model of a uterus. Being able to witness the complex implantation process may be helpful for advancing fertility procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), the researchers say. “We have observed that human embryos burrow into the uterus, exerting considerable force during …

Scientists have successfully extracted and analyzed ancient air trapped inside a rock for over 815 million years, providing a direct glimpse into Earth’s distant atmospheric past. This groundbreaking study, led by geochemist Dr. Nigel Blamey and an international research team, developed a method to measure gases sealed inside microscopic bubbles within halite — a mineral form of rock salt. The …
