Humans, Homo sapiens, have unique features compared with other closely related hominin species and primates, including the shape of the base of the skull. The evolutionary changes underlying these features were significant in allowing the evolution of our increased brain size.
Recent research saw the construction of the world’s largest astronomical digital camera, the discovery of a possible new epilepsy treatment, and the development of AI models to assist patient health monitoring in hospitals.
Today, Intel has built the world’s largest neuromorphic system. It is code-named Hala Point, this large-scale neuromorphic system, initially deployed at Sandia National Laboratories, utilizes Intel’s Loihi 2 processor. It is aimed at supporting research for future brain-inspired artificial intelligence (AI), and tackles challenges related to the efficiency and sustainability of today’s AI. Hala Point
Experts estimate that the giant creature would have been more than 25 metres long.
The Richmond Police Department has identified the officer involved in the fatal shooting of 20-year-old Kenneth Sharp on Easter Sunday.
Climate change does not stop at grapevines. Too much sun means that the bouquet of German Riesling wines becomes dominated by a petrol note (some) customers do not appreciate. A research team from the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich has identified the human odorant receptor responsible for the perception of this special aroma. Their paper is published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
O.J. Simpson is headed for cremation. His brain will not contribute to scientific research on CTE. According to Malcolm LaVergne, the executor of Simpson’s state, the arrangements for the funeral service have yet to be finalized. According to People, LaVergne stated, “His entire body, his brain, everything, his fake hips, his fake knees, everything. That […] The post O.J. Simpson’s Brain Will Not be Donated for CTE Research first appeared on The Source.
While it is the fastest growing sector of the wine-packaging market, canned wine faces a few hurdles. It's not considered as elegant as wine in a bottle, and it's not as popular as the formerly maligned "wine bag in a box." There is also the unfortunate fact—and there is no gentle way to put this—that canned wine occasionally smells like rotten eggs.
As researchers described, "bacterial vampirism" is real and it can lead to a horrifying condition for humans, leading to sepsis.
Using data from various space telescopes and astronomical surveys, Armenian researchers have investigated three star-forming regions. The study identified hundreds of young stellar objects and provided important information regarding the stellar content of these regions. The new findings were presented in a paper published April 5 in the Astrophysics and Space Science journal.
Seventy thousand years ago, the sea level was much lower than today. Australia, along with New Guinea and Tasmania, formed a connected landmass known as Sahul. Around this time—approximately 65,000 years ago—the first humans arrived in Sahul, a place previously devoid of any hominin species.
The bone of Capt. Everett Leland Yager was found by a child rock collector in AZ. His remains were previously recovered in California and laid to rest in Missouri. It now appears that not all of his remains were accounted for and buried
