| Astronomers discover first cloudless, Jupiter-like planet Posted: 21 Jan 2021 03:54 PM PST Astronomers have detected the first Jupiter-like planet without clouds or haze in its observable atmosphere. |
| Lasers create miniature robots from bubbles Posted: 21 Jan 2021 10:19 AM PST Robots are widely used to build cars, paint airplanes and sew clothing in factories, but the assembly of microscopic components, such as those for biomedical applications, has not yet been automated. Lasers could be the solution. Now, researchers have used lasers to create miniature robots from bubbles that lift, drop and manipulate small pieces into interconnected structures. |
| How the brain learns that earmuffs are not valuable at the beach Posted: 21 Jan 2021 10:17 AM PST Fast-spiking neurons in the basal ganglia allow monkeys to associate different values with the same objects based on the surrounding environment. Blocking input from these cells inhibited learning of new scene-based values, but did not erase already learned associations. This could help understand clinical conditions such as Tourette syndrome, which is characterized by reduced input from these cells. |
