How fan-on-a-chip tech will cool ultra compact gadgets of the future

Fructose hijacks immune cells to set them on inflammatory "attack mode"

For the first time, scientists have unraveled just how high levels of fructose affect the body, flipping a genetic switch as it's broken down – one that primes your immune system to overreact to things it would normally ignore.

Milestone: Lab-grown mini-brain given epilepsy drug learns in real time

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game-like environment. Subjected to anti-seizure drugs, Cortical Labs' disease-modeled neurons didn't just show altered brain activity, but spontaneous information-processing behavior. It's a huge step forward for the company's synthetic biological intelligence (SBI) technology and how we are able to research neurological conditions and develop new, effective treatments.

New TQ motor is even lighter & tinier than the one from 3 weeks ago

We already knew Eurobike 2025 was going to be packed with the smallest, lightest electric bike motors the world has ever seen.

TQ, for example, debuted what it calls the smallest, lightest, quietest ebike drive in its class in early June. Now, the German e-drive innovator undercuts itself with an even smaller, lighter motor weighing less than 2.6 lb. It's the all-new HPR40, and it's specially designed to match the light, lithe lines of road and gravel bikes.
