-(Natural News) The amount of electronic data we generate every year is quickly outstripping the capacity of the latest storage systems. The U.S. intelligence community wants a new storage material that can accomodate all that data. In an article on Live Science, they are looking into a rather concerning source that is known to store dense […]

-(Natural News) According to researchers from Northwestern University, a revolutionary “smell virtual landscape” that they developed allowed them to examine “how smells engage the brain’s navigation system.” The study is the first of its kind, and research results revealed that the mammalian brain is capable of forming a map of its surroundings using only smells. The researchers […]

-(Natural News) Detecting and managing epilepsy is of utmost importance in patients that suffer from it. The same goes for seizures, so in most cases, any potentially useful tips or equipment that can be used with one end up becoming recommended for the other. Soon, a smartwatch that uses advanced machine learning to tell when a […]
