The 'e-Taste' interface employs sensors and wireless chemical dispensers to enable remote taste perception, often known as gestation. Field testing done by researchers at The Ohio State University confirmed the device's ability to digitally simulate a range of taste intensities, while still offering variety and safety for the user.

The old, the ill, and the poor are especially vulnerable to the devastating effects of heatwaves like the one we are presently experiencing. One of the deadliest natural disasters in recent memory, the 2003 heatwave that saw temperatures in Europe exceed 47.5 degrees Celsius claimed between 45,000 and 70,000 lives in a few weeks. The emergency rooms in the cities were overflowing, the forests burnt, and the harvests in the fields perished. Around 13 billion dollars worth of costs were incurred globally. However, compared to other climate-related events, the public continues to be less informed about the dangers of heat waves. According to a study that was written in the journal Nature Communications, this is an issue. Heatwaves similar to the one we experienced in 2003 might become the new standard in the coming years.

Neurons in the brain generate rhythmic patterns of electrical activity. One of the unanswered problems in neuroscience is what generates these rhythmic signals, known as oscillations. Researchers at the University of Arizona discovered that simply remembering experiences might trigger them, much more so than actually experiencing the event.

When patients are put under general anaesthesia, their brain activity frequently slows as they fall asleep. Higher anaesthetic medication dosages can cause an even deeper state of unconsciousness called burst suppression, which is associated with cognitive deficits once the patient awakens.

You can't see or feel it, but everything around you is steadily shrinking and increasing, even your own body. According to a new study from the NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Centre of the National Science Foundation, it's the strange, spacetime-warping effect of gravitational waves passing through galaxy.
