Scientists at Utah State University’s Splash Lab unveiled a new insight into ‘water skipping’. This common past time of children can make way for walking drones on water in the near future. The researchers studied how elastic spheres interact with water and skip over a tank of water to move progressively. Additionally, they used high-speed cameras to record that elastic spheres gain momentum over a first several impacts. Consequently, this

A new study promises to double the speeds of mobiles and computing devices. The study details a new and advanced data compression technique. The technique compresses essential information by half. This makes it easier for apps to access the much-needed information from the main memory. The study was undertaken by MIT researchers who believe it can speed up computation considerably. According to them, accessing the main computer memory is often

Electrostimulation to Improve Working Memory in Adults
Featured

The researchers at Boston University demonstrated that electrostimulation could actually improve working memory. Rob Reinhart, assistant professor and John Nguyen a doctoral researcher at the university conducted research. Nature Neuroscience published this study. The National Institutes of Health have supported the theory. The researchers found the electrostimulation improves memory in the 70s, which is indistinguishable from the memory of a 20-year-old. What is Working Memory? The conscious part of the
