This “Smart Drug” Could Hack Your Brain Chemistry to Increase Your Intelligence

Getty The Science of Nootropics Nootropics, broadly speaking, are substances that can safely enhance cognitive performance. They’re a group of (as yet unclassified) research chemicals, over-the-counter supplements, and a few prescription drugs, taken in various combinations—that are neither addictive nor harmful, and don’t come laden down with side-effects—that are basically meant to improve your brain’s ability to think. Right now, it’s not entirely clear how nootropics as a group work, for several reasons. How effective any one component of a nootropic supplement (or a stack) is depends on many factors, including the neurochemistry of the user, which is connected to genes, mood, sleep patterns, weight, and other characteristics. However, there are some startups creating and selling nootropics that have research scientists on their teams, with the aim of offering reliable, proven cognitive enhancers. Qualia is one such nootropic. This 42 ingredient supplement stack

This Bizarre Device Can Interpret Your Thoughts And Talk Back To You Without Anybody Else Knowing

MIT/YouTube A new wearable device from MIT can "read" your thoughts with over 90 percent accuracy. The "AlterEgo" device is worn suspended from the ear and attached to the chin of the user. It has sensors along the bar that pick up neuromuscular signals that occur in your jaw and face when you think of words in your mind, which are undetectable to the human eye. The researchers collected data from computational tasks, such as arithmetic and the chess application, with limited vocabularies of about 20 words each. Signals from "sub-vocalized" (said in your head) thoughts picked up by the device were fed back into a machine-learning system trained to associate these words with the signals it receives. The device can then interpret the signals as words and commands. Essentially, just by thinking about words, you can talk to this device and it will understand you. The idea is that the device, which is still quite preliminary, may eventua

Researchers Have Created a New Camera Capable of Seeing Through the Human Body — It's Better Than X-Ray

ALFRED PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/Getty Images Better Than X-Ray Vision For many years doctors have been able to get a look inside a person’s body using X-ray scans, or placing a tiny camera inside the body. But those tools provide a limited view and can only reveal so much. A recently developed camera , however, may give doctors the ability to see everything happening in the human body, no matter where it is. The camera was developed by researchers from the University of Edinburgh , and it’s meant to work while paired with an endoscope — a long, slender piece of equipment that usually has a camera, sensors, and lights at its tip. Light emitted by the endoscope typically scatters when it comes into contact with structures within the body, such as body tissue, but the new camera is able to pick up on it thanks to the photon detectors inside of it. The camera is able to detect light sources behind as much as 20 centimeters (7.9 inches) of bodily tissue. Image Credit: Un

Pluto Might Be A Planet Afterall

NASA/JHUAPL/SWRI Pluto, the underdog of the Solar System, was “demoted” from a planet to a dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2006, after they contested poor old Pluto didn't fit their new criteria for a true planet. Ever since the controversial decision, Pluto's legions of loyal fans and many astrophysicists have been fighting back against the decision. Alan Stern and David Grinspoon – principal investigator of the New Horizons mission to Pluto and astrobiologist, respectively – have written a new article for the Washington Post that puts forward their case to "Make Pluto Great Again" (or at least a true planet again). The 2006 IAU definition requires a celestial body to tick three boxes before it can be called a planet. First up, it must be in orbit around the Sun. Secondly, it must have sufficient self-gravity to make a round (or nearly round) shape. Finally, it has to have cleared the neighborhood around its

Why Does The Universe Exist? — Scientists Are Probing The Biggest Mystery in Physics, And The First Results Are In

CUORE Experiments searching for a solution to one of physics' most perplexing mysteries have recently been delivering their first rounds of results, setting new limits on where we need to look for evidence. Based on our current understanding of physics, matter shouldn't exist. The fact it does means something is off in our equations, and scientists are going to some extreme lengths to determine exactly what it is. Right now there are four major experiments being conducted around the world, hunting for signs of barely-detectable particles undergoing ridiculously rare changes. To understand why it's worth the effort, we have to go back to the beginning of everything: as subatomic particles cooled out of the radiation that made up the first blink of the Universe, they took one of two forms – what we now describe as matter and antimatter. The problem is, these mirror-opposite objects also cancel out in a flash of energy when they meet again. If both types of part
