At the tiniest scales, our intuitive view of reality breaks down. It’s almost as if physics is fundamentally indecisive, a truth that becomes increasingly difficult to ignore as we zoom in on the particles that pixelate our universe. To understand it better, physicists had to come up with an entirely new framework to fit it … Read more
Resume: A new study describes how AI and computer simulations train robotic exoskeletons to help users conserve energy while walking, running and climbing stairs. This method eliminates the need for lengthy experiments involving humans and can be applied to a variety of devices. The breakthrough offers significant potential for helping people with mobility problems, improving … Read more
Resume: Mental maps in the brain are activated when thinking about sequences of experiences, even without physical movement. In an animal study, they found that the entorhinal cortex houses a cognitive map of experiences, which is activated during mental simulation. This is the first study to demonstrate the cellular basis of mental simulation in a … Read more
