The robot can learn to “think”
Scientists have tested a truly revolutionary theory that sees the robots “think” the actions to be performed with a given object. One could therefore assume that the robots are able to learn from their own observations and experiences. This latest discovery is the result of the project PACO-PLUS (Perception, action and cognition through learning of [...]
Three-dimensional molecular structures: new challenges of nanotechnology
For the first time ever, scientists in the United Kingdom have shown that it is possible to construct a structure Molecular three-dimensional (3D) on a surface. The experiments, described in the journal Nature Chemistry, represent a huge step forward in research to develop innovative nano-devices, such as a new optical and electronic technology and even [...]
Scientists learn to make origami at the nanoscale with DNA
Scientists have devised a way to make the DNA to bend and twist in a variety of new forms, which someday may be used in tiny instruments that serve to deliver drugs from inside the body, creating tissue and studying individual proteins. The results of this study will give scientists a way to create three-dimensional [...]
Regenerate cells with nanotechnology
Dr. Samuel I. Stupp, director of the Institute of BioNanotechnology in Medicine at Northwestern University and one of the scientists who are studying the combination of nanotechnology with biology in order to make the human body to heal itself, has achieved some amazing results first . In an amazing demonstration of what nanotechnology can do [...]
The protein beta-amyloid in the brain of Alzheimer’s can move
Some researchers have found that the outer fabric of the brain that contains the protein beta amyloid misfolded can move and infect the brain. Abnormal protein deposits have been recognized as closely related to the genesis of neuro degenerative disease called Alzheimer’s disease. The research was supported by the ERA-NET NEURON (Network of European Funding [...]
The problem with having a strong immune system
According to a new study by scientists in the United Kingdom and the United States, a strong immune system can increase the lifespan of an animal but it leads to lower fertility. The findings, published in the journal Science, they explain why some individuals are more susceptible to infection than others. The strength of the [...]
Magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of Parkinson’s
A research published on Brain, has highlighted the possibility of using magnetic resonance imaging for early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease with 95% reliability. After that Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease is the most common degenerative brain disease characterized by progressive tremor and difficulty in movement. Despite technological change, today its diagnosis is mainly based on neurological medical [...]
