A single new connection can dramatically enhance the size of a network — no matter whether this connection represents an additional link in the Internet, a new acquaintance within a circle of friends or a connection between two nerve cells in the brain. The results, which are published inNature Physics, were part of a theoretical

ASU researcher creates system to control robots with the brain A researcher at Arizona State University has discovered how to control multiple robotic drones using the human brain. A controller wears a skull cap outfitted with 128 electrodes wired to a computer. The device records electrical brain activity. If the controller moves a hand or

Imagine a question-and-answer game played by two people who are not in the same place and not talking to each other. Round after round, one player asks a series of questions and accurately guesses the object the other is thinking about. Sci-fi? Mind-reading superpowers? Not quite. University of Washington researchers recently used a direct brain-to-brain

Mobile imager of fast neutrons spots radiation source at a distance and through shielding nuclear device has been hidden in a high-rise building in a major metropolitan area. Emergency responders have intelligence that narrows down the location to a single city block, but it isn’t safe to search door-to-door. Can they identify the exact location

New guidelines could help improve power grid reliability and reduce electricity cost President Obama in this year’s State of the Union address talked about the future of energy and mentioned “self-healing power grids” — a grid that is able to keep itself stable during normal conditions and also to self-recover in the event of a

Immunizations could be administered within minutes where and when a disease is breaking out. Vaccines combat diseases and protect populations from outbreaks, but the life-saving technology leaves room for improvement. Vaccines usually are made en masse in centralized locations far removed from where they will be used. They are expensive to ship and keep refrigerated
