Storytelling may hold key to building memory New research suggests that telling stories – from ancient campfire tales to modern-day digital communication – may be tied to how human memory evolved. It also could be a key to improving ...

I've just written an entire book about how important stories are to the human condition. I wasn't going to add anything further into the first edition, but maybe I should make an exception for this study.

Closing your eyes might not help you hear better after all In JASA, researchers test whether a person closing their eyes can really hear better in noisy environments. Volunteers listened to sounds through headphones amid background noise, adjusting the volume...

Closing your eyes may not improve your hearing in noisy conditions.
Do you agree? From a personal perspective?
I think that it does something for me. Although that may be processing what I've heard rather than actually picking up the sounds.

AlphaFold Database Hits Next Level: Protein Pairing >“A database containing the predicted structures of nearly every known protein on Earth has grown even larger and become more useful for understanding how the building blocks of life work together. >For the first time, the AlphaFold protein-structure database will include predictions of complexes of proteins — with the addition of 1.7 million ‘homodimers’ comprising two interacting strands of the same molecule. >The freely available database, maintained by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) in Hinxton, UK, currently holds around 200 million predictions of individual protein structures, made using the AlphaFold2 artificial-intelligence tool, developed by London-based firm Google DeepMind… >Adding complexes to the AlphaFold database is an important step to understanding how many proteins work, says Gemma Atkinson, a computational biologist at Lund University in Sweden. When her team created a more limited database of around 27,000 predicted viral complexes, they found that for some proteins, it was possible to accurately predict their 3D structure only when they were modelled as a pair.” >From [*Nature*](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00787-3).

The AlphaFold Database just reached a new milestone with incredible protein pairing capabilities! This breakthrough provides a deeper understanding of life's mechanisms, opening doors for exciting advances in medicine and biology. 🧬✨ #AlphaFold #ScienceNews #ProteinResearch

Scientists observe atoms existing in two places at once Quantum physicists at ANU have observed atoms entangled in motion. Their experiment using helium atoms represents a major advancement on similar experiments using photons, which are particles of light.

Casually headed to work after learning that quantum physicists just observed a particle in two places at the same time. The same exact particle. In two places. At the same time.
