Artificial neuron merges DRAM with MoS₂ circuits to better emulate brain-like adaptability

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning systems has increased the demand for new hardware components that could speed up data analysis while consuming less power. As machine learning algorithms draw inspiration from biological neural networks, some engineers have been working on hardware that also mimics the architecture and functioning of the human brain.

“Shocking Spiral Secret”: Webb Telescope Shows 60% Galaxies Turning Clockwise, Stirring Alarming Theory of Universe Inside Black Hole

The universe, vast and enigmatic, often presents us with phenomena that challenge our understanding of cosmic principles. Recently, researchers using the

Prostate cancer vaccine research launched University of Surrey

In September 2025, The Prostate Project, a Guildford-based volunteer-led charity, will launch a £250,000 campaign to raise funds for a prostate cancer research project widely anticipated to be ‘game-changing’

Work has begun to develop a vaccine to prevent the return of prostate cancer in men who have undergone a radical prostatectomy, the surgical removal of the prostate. Cancer vaccines have become an exciting area of research in recent years, and this new treatment could potentially save the lives of more than 1,500 men each year in the UK alone.

The Prostate Project, based at the Stokes Centre for Urology at Royal Surrey County Hospital, has a proven track record of funding research and treatment of prostate cancer, raising more than £11 million since its formation in 1998.

The Different Relationships Between Mobile Phone Dependence and Adolescents’ Scientific and Artistic Creativity: Self‐Esteem and Creative Identity as Mediators

Creativity is the ability to generate original, useful, and meaningful ideas or solutions by combining imagination with knowledge and experience. It involves flexible, divergent thinking and seeing connections that others might overlook.

Artistic creativity refers to expressing ideas, emotions, or concepts through mediums such as painting, music, writing, or performance, emphasizing aesthetic and emotional impact.

Scientific creativity, on the other hand, involves problem-solving, hypothesis generation, and innovative experimentation that can advance knowledge or technology.

The Different Relationships Between Mobile Phone Dependence and Adolescents’ Scientific and Artistic Creativity: Self-Esteem and Creative Identity as Mediators.


Creativity is an essential skill that is at the heart of 21st-century education. Mobile phone use occupies considerable amounts of time in people’s lives and may influence creativity. However, few studies have linked mobile phone dependence (MPD) to adolescents’ domain-specific creativity (science and art). This study investigated the relationship between MPD and the scientific and artistic creativity of 2,922 adolescents (10–15 years old) by using the Test of Mobile Phone Dependence, the Middle School Students’ Everyday Creativity Questionnaire, the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, and the Short Scale of Creative Self, all self-reported measures. Specifically, linear regression analysis and segmented regression analysis were conducted to explore the relationships between MPD and scientific and artistic creativity.
