Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have developed a transparent “window to the brain” — a skull implant that is biocompatible, infection-resistant, and does not need to be repetitively replaced.

Part of the ongoing “Window to the Brain” project, a multi-institution, cross-disciplinary effort, the idea is to use transparent skull implants to provide laser diagnosis and treatment of a wide variety of brain pathologies, including brain cancers, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and neurodegenerative diseases, without requiring repeated craniotomies (a surgical operation in which a bone flap is temporarily removed from the skull to access the brain). Such operations are vulnerable to bacterial infections.

The drone crashed in Mogadishu’s Waabari district this week where it was found and pictured on social media.

In order to build a better map of the brain, begin by slicing glass windows into the glowing skulls of genetically-engineered mice.

She’ll kick poké butt, and yours too if you’re not careful.

Experts at the National Eye Institute, Maryland, found showing sufferers changing patterns of black lines triggered damaged cells in the optic nerves to grow back, which could potentially restore sight.

“When programmers at the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory set out to develop the flight software for the Apollo 11 space program in the mid-1960s, the necessary technology did not exist. They had to invent it.”
