Very slow brain waves, long considered an artifact of brain scanning techniques, may be more important than anyone had realized. Researchers have found that very slow waves are directly linked …read more Source:: Science
Polymers that mimic chameleon skin
by •
Biological tissues have complex mechanical properties — soft-yet-strong, tough-yet-flexible — that are difficult to reproduce using synthetic materials. Researchers have now managed to produce a biocompatible synthetic material that replicates …read more Source:: Science
