Mirror neurons are one of the most important discoveries in modern neuroscience, first identified in the 1990s. These remarkable brain cells fire both when we perform an action and when we observe ...

But it’s not so easy to measure whether such bodily energy exists in the first place, Jarry says. Scientists can study other forms of energy, like gravity or the energy contained in food, because we ...

Indian elephants have larger brains than we do (obviously). Mice have a higher brain-to-body mass ratio, and long-finned pilot whales have more neurons. So what makes humans—and more specifically, ...

Energy Fields examines the science of vibration, sound and kinetic energy detection through art. Energy Fields examines approaches to vibration, sound, and kinetic energy shared by artists and ...

Such magnetic fields are "comparable to magnetism generated by [the electrical activity of] neurons in the human brain," the researchers wrote in a statement. Despite their weakness, remnants of these ...

While you may be just starting to reap the advantages of 5G wireless technology, researchers throughout the world are already working hard on the future: 6G. One of the most promising breakthroughs in ...

Throughout any given year, the National Academies convene hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia, forums, roundtables, and other gatherings that attract the finest minds in academia and the ...
