How team sports change a child's brain

Adult depression has long been associated with shrinkage of the hippocampus, a brain region that plays an important role in memory and response to stress. Now, new research has linked participation in team sports to larger hippocampal volumes in children and less depression in boys ages 9 to 11. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190321135154.htm

World's smallest bears' facial expressions throw doubt on human superiority

The world's smallest bears can exactly mimic another bear's facial expressions, casting doubt on humans and other primates' supremacy at this subtle form of communication. It is the first time such exact facial mimicry has been seen outside of humans and gorillas. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190321102835.htm

Adhesive gel bonds to eye surface, could repair injuries without surgery

An adhesive gel packed with light-activated chemicals can seal cuts or ulcers on the cornea -- the clear surface of the eye -- and then encourage the regeneration of corneal tissue, according to a preclinical study. The new technology, named GelCORE (gel for corneal regeneration), could one day reduce the need for surgery to repair injuries to the cornea, including those that would today require corneal transplantation. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190320141016.htm

'Chronoprints' identify samples by how they change over space and time

Modern analytical tools like mass spectrometers can identify many unknown substances, allowing scientists to easily tell whether foods or medicines have been altered. However, the cost, size, power consumption and complexity of these instruments often prevent their use in resource-limited regions. Now, researchers report that they have developed a simple, inexpensive method to identify samples by seeing how they react to a change in their environment. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190320102128.htm

Giant X-ray 'chimneys' are exhaust vents for vast energies produced at Milky Way's center

At the center of our galaxy, where an enormous black hole blasts out energy as it chows down on interstellar detritus while neighboring stars burst to life and explode. astronomers have discovered two exhaust channels -- dubbed the 'galactic center chimneys' -- that appear to funnel matter and energy away from the cosmic fireworks. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190320164912.htm

Cities rethink parking as ride-hailing grows and parking revenue declines

A new study found that people who use ride-hailing are willing to pay more to avoid driving, including the stress and cost of parking. As a result, cities are seeing a reduction in parking demand, particularly at restaurants and bars, event venues, and airports. That reduction could push cities to reconsider and replace parking infrastructure, leading to more vibrant cities and less dependency on cars. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190320102022.htm

Brain-inspired AI inspires insights about the brain (and vice versa)

Researchers have described the results of experiments that used artificial neural networks to predict with greater accuracy than ever before how different areas in the brain respond to specific words. The work employed a type of recurrent neural network called long short-term memory (LSTM) that includes in its calculations the relationships of each word to what came before to better preserve context. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190320141111.htm

Robotic 'gray goo'

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time a way to make a robot composed of many loosely coupled components, or 'particles.' Unlike swarm or modular robots, each component is simple, and has no individual address or identity. In their system, which the researchers call a 'particle robot,' each particle can perform only uniform volumetric oscillations (slightly expanding and contracting), but cannot move independently. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/03/190320141024.htm
