Researchers have developed a programmable photonic circuit capable of dynamically controlling the delay and frequency of light signals on a single chip. This technology paves the way for more flexible and efficient optical computing and communications.
Google Health now supports two-way synchronization with Apple Health on iPhone, allowing Fitbit device owners to seamlessly share up-to-date health data between platforms. Additionally, a Smart Health Links feature has been introduced for secure sharing of medical records.
Studies have shown that most animals and humans use a similar rhythm to transmit signals—about 2 hertz—which is linked to the way nerve cells function. This universal tempo forms the basis of both natural communication and popular musical rhythms.
Researchers have developed a robot named EMO that learns to speak and synchronize its lip movements with speech by observing itself and analyzing videos of people. While the technology is still imperfect, the robot becomes increasingly natural in communication as it gains experience.
A new study has shown that synchronization of the menstrual cycle with the phases of the Moon existed in the past, but has almost disappeared since 2010, likely due to the influence of artificial lighting and modern technology.
