The shock tactics set to shake up immunology

Vagus-nerve stimulation, has been used since the 1990s to treat epilepsy, and since the early 2000s to treat depression

A peek inside the 'black box' of machine learning systems

Many astounding feats of computer intelligence, from automated language translation to self-driving cars, are based on neural networks: machine learning systems that figure out how to solve problems with minimal human guidance. But that makes the inner workings of neural networks like a black box, opaque even to the engineers who initiate the machine learning process.

New composite-based additive manufacturing technology

CBAM is an entirely new process that is fundamentally different from conventional additive manufacturing technologies.
