A British company has unveiled Locai, an artificial intelligence system that aims to stand out for its ability to learn without discarding what it has already learned. Its flagship technology, dubbed Forget-Me-Nt, addresses the well-known problem of "catastrophic forgetting": instead of replacing old knowledge when it incorporates new information, Locai ensures it maintains and accumulates...
Ecology is based on perfect synchronicity: plants bloom just as pollinators emerge; caterpillars hatch when young leaves are available; and birds migrate to coincide with the peak of food resources. This timing of natural events is known as phenology. One example of this is the early arrival of spring. Due to global warming, phenology is...
A research group from ETH Zurich (Switzerland) has unveiled a microrobot capable of delivering medication directly to highly specific areas of the body with astonishing precision: for example, it could reach the blood clot causing a stroke. The study, published in the journal Science, facilitates the design of less invasive and more efficient treatments than...

A team of researchers from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH) has achieved a revolutionary advance in the field of visual neuroprostheses: they have implanted an array of 100 microelectrodes in the visual cortex of two people who had lost their sight. This device—so compact that it fits in a space of just 4...

A research team from the Roslin Institute at the University of Edinburgh has developed, through genetic editing, a line of pigs capable of resisting classical swine fever (CSF), a highly contagious viral disease that severely affects pig farming. The key to this innovation lies in modifying the gene that encodes the DNAJC14 protein, which the...

A scientific team co-led from Spain by the Institute of Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and the Western China Hospital of Sichuan University (WCHSU), have achieved promising progress against Alzheimer's in animal models. The new therapy uses nanoparticles that actively act as drugs, not just carriers, to restore blood-brain barrier (BBB) function, essential for removing...
