The enigmas of language 

Images of the brain refute a theory of the 60s on the domain of language

A region of the brain that extends through both hemispheres, the planum temporale, is larger in the left than in the right hemisphere. The finding was linked in the 1960s with the hosting of language processing in the left hemisphere, but today European researchers show that this asymmetry is not a marker of language lateralization. Leer más

Star Wars´ universe has inspired scientists

The Force is strong with EU-funded research

In a recent article Professor Cartsen Welsch, Head of Physics at the University of Liverpool, UK, has outlined how the ´Star Wars´ universe has inspired scientists to use more than the Force to push the boundaries of physics – and highlights the on-going research of three EU-funded projects. Leer más

Towards a more sophisticated brain

Low cost android´ to study the brain

The two main pitfalls of robots which imitate the human body are their control and the difficulty encountered when manufacturing them in a cost-effective manner. Researchers from the MoCoTi European project have designed the prototype of an android which learns how to actuate its own limbs and can be easily duplicated. The device, formed of an artificial brain which controls a tendon-driven robotic arm, might be the first step towards low cost humanoid robotics. Leer más

NASA reveals a satellite that monitors CO2 in our planet

NASA satellite that´s been mapping the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in unprecedented detail, scientists are learning much more about how plants work, and how the land and oceans suck up and release CO2. This information could help us figure out how our world will respond to global warming. The new study provides space-based evidence that Earth´s tropical regions were the cause of the largest annual increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration seen in at least 2,000 Leer más
