China succeeds in restoring hearing using brain implants. How can someone hear if they were born without the nerve responsible for transmitting sounds to the brain? This condition poses an enormous challenge

Brain-computer interfaces Until recently, controlling a machine directly with one’s mind seemed like a distant possibility; today, this technology is already being tested in humans. One of the best-known

For the first time, an AI outperforms human diagnosis. Could an artificial intelligence identify complex diseases with far greater accuracy than human doctors? It may sound like an exaggerated claim, but

“Artificial telekinesis” is now possible. Neuralink, the company founded by Elon Musk, has just demonstrated new capabilities that bring us closer to the possibility of making phone calls—and even issuing

New advances in robotic prosthetics. Imagine losing a leg and, in the future, being able to control a robotic prosthesis in a much more natural way—using only the movements of the muscles that remain in

Having a hobby helps your brain In a world that keeps us glued to our screens—to our phones—constantly chasing easy dopamine and reprogramming our brains for mediocrity, hobbies serve as a final line of

The study of aging on the space station. A group of scientists is sending small human organs into space in an attempt to understand aging. This is because a phenomenon has been observed during space travel:

Living neurons controlling a robot dog Imagine a robotic dog whose movements are controlled by living neurons cultivated in a laboratory—well, that has just become a reality. A group of researchers has

Artificial intelligence designs viruses to combat diseases. A bacterial infection proved resistant to all available treatments, leading a group of researchers to turn to artificial intelligence to design

Neurons with multiple functions. Scientists have long sought to replicate the functioning of the human brain to develop increasingly advanced artificial intelligence systems. However, a recent discovery

Feeling Again: The Story of Avi Davidson and His Innovative Bionic Arm Imagine losing a hand and, nearly two decades later, once again feeling the touch of another person through fingers made of metal,

The first person to receive a mind-controlled bionic arm ![image.png]( The future in which someone who has lost an arm can control a robotic hand simply by attempting to move the limb—and, furthermore,

To modify or heal the human body. The idea of ​​modifying human DNA was once a possibility confined to laboratories, but advances in genetic engineering are beginning to transform this concept into real-world

Genetic editing using CRISPR/Cas9 For decades, scientists encountered seemingly strange sequences within bacterial DNA: small, repeating fragments separated by distinct genetic segments. Initially, their

It is ethical to modify DNA. ![image.png]( In 2018, Chinese scientist He Jiankui announced the birth of two girls whose embryos had been genetically modified using CRISPR. The stated objective was to alter

Proteins created using artificial intelligence. ![image.png]( Over billions of years, nature has evolved an extraordinary array of proteins—molecules responsible for virtually everything that occurs within

Artificial intelligences working together discover new biological mechanisms. ![image.png]( Over the course of 21 hours, approximately 950 artificial intelligence agents worked in parallel to investigate

The first artificial intelligence to prescribe medications. ![image.png]( In the United States, an artificial intelligence system has just received authorization to proceed with a task that previously

Artificial intelligence that interprets brain signals. ![image.png]( Scientists using artificial intelligence have managed to observe a person's brain activity and reconstruct images of what they were

Records and advances of Neuralink implants ![image.png]( A person looks at a computer screen—without touching the mouse or keyboard—yet the cursor moves; in some tests, it doesn't even need to travel the
