A team of researchers led by Samson Nivins at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden sought to shed light on the effects of screen time anf how it shapes the developing brain. In a landmark longitudinal study published in the journal Scientific Reports, they examined how different types of DM usage – including social media, video games, and television/video viewing – impact the structural development of key brain regions in children over a 4-year period.

The Digital Dilemma: How Screen Time Shapes the Developing Brain
A team of researchers led by Samson Nivins at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden sought to shed light on the effects of screen time anf how it shapes the developing brain. In a landmark longitudinal study published in the journal Scientific Reports, they examined how different types of DM usage - including social media, video games, and television/video viewing - impact the structural development of key brain regions in children over a 4-year period.
- New theory demystifies crystallization processon October, 2024 at 8:56 pm
A new theory 'demystifies' the crystallization process and shows that the material that crystallizes is the dominant component within a solution -- which is the solvent, not the solute. The theory could have implications for everything from drug development to understanding climate change.

deepSPACE isn't a futuristic film, a new videogame or the next season of a classic TV series. In fact, the new design software developed by an aerospace engineer isn't about outer space at all. This new tool takes your concept and requirements and rapidly generates design configurations from […]

Spider silk, long prized for its strength and elasticity, has created something of a furor in the biomanufacturing world as businesses look for ways to cheaply scale up production for silks, which can be used in everything from tactical gear to sutures and textiles. However, a comprehensive study […]

Engineers found a novel path around tedious process of tunneling individual sub-nanometer pores for nanoporous membranes one by one. The team created a new method of pore generation that builds materials with intentional weak spots, then applies a remote electric field to generate multiple […]
After 11 years, Boston Dynamics has said goodbye to its humanoid robot ATLAS HD. The robotics company says it’s time for ATLAS to “kick back and relax” in retirement, letting the new all electric ATLAS take over. This video was shared to remember ATLAS HD’s great moments and those not so great.
Header Banner: Speed is the name of the game. The DarkDrug logo shows an Intel Xeon microchip die. Xeon is a brand of x86 microprocessors designed, manufactured, and marketed by Intel, targeted at the non-consumer workstation, server, and embedded system markets. It was introduced in June 1998. The advent ofoptical fibre cable has allowed the speed of data transmission to reach dizzy heights (shown in the DarkDrug logo). The field of applied science and engineering concerned with the design and application of optical fibers is known as fibre optics. The term was coined by Indian physicist Narinder Singh Kapany, who is widely acknowledged as the father of fibre optics.
