Summary
MIT researchers have uncovered a stunning optical phenomenon that could allow scientists to watch drugs cross into the brain in real time — at speeds and resolutions never before possible. A sweeping new study is forcing doctors to rethink one of their most common kidney stone prevention strategies, while a discovery inside cannabis leaves has turned up compounds no one knew existed. Artificial neurons that can physically communicate with real brain cells have been successfully 3D-printed for the first time, opening a new frontier in both brain implants and AI. And deep beneath cities that went dark during the 2024 solar eclipse, seismometers picked up something eerily quiet — a signal imprinted in the ground itself.
