Self-propelled, endlessly programmable artificial cilia: Simple microstructures that bend, twist and perform stroke-like motions could be used for soft robotics, medical devices and more
For years, scientists have been attempting to engineer tiny, artificial cilia for miniature robotic systems that can perform complex motions, including bending, twisting, and reversing. Building these smaller-than-a-human-hair microstructures typically requires multi-step fabrication processes and varying stimuli to create the complex movements, limiting their wide-scale applications. Now, researchers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School […]
Visuals increase attention; now science explains why: Chemical’s release in brain tied to processing of imagery, cells’ activation
“Look at me!” we might say while attempting to engage our children. It turns out there is a neurochemical explanation for why looking at mom or dad actually helps kiddoes pay better attention. In a paper published Dec. 17 in the journal Science Advances, authors from The University of Texas Health Science Center at San […]

Marjorie Taylor Greene Visits Holocaust Museum To Remind Herself That Genocide Is Bad
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is attempting to present herself as someone who is not full of hate for marginalized people after receiving intense bipartisan backlash for her repeated comments comparing pandemic-era public health recommendations to the Holocaust. The Georgia Republican and QAnon conspiracy theorist said at a press conference on Monday that she was sorry […]
