A material called “graphene,” which is the thinnest material known to humans, was successfully placed on a human brain for the first time — potentially unlocking a host of new therapies for neurological conditions. The Big Thought: Brain implants are all the rage these days (partly due to the hype around Elon Musk’s Neuralink), but they inherently seem […]
A healthcare and research group out of Memphis, Tennessee is the first in the US to roll out hologram technology at 11 of its clinics to connect cancer doctors with rural patients, so that they don’t have to make the trip to urban medical centers. The Big Picture: Amid a major doctor shortage in the US, tech that can […]

If the test goes well and ultimately has more functionality than the brain chips of rival firms, Neuralink may eventually partner with Elon Musk’s xAI to program the first head operating system. Musk mindNeuralink is […]
The Future. The Stanford Center on Longevity has put together a report on what life would be like in a world where most people lived to 100. The findings stress that society must prepare for the inevitable long-term economic, environmental, and cultural implications. In the short term, organizations could start re-organizing teams to account for […]
The Future. A new study has found that by setting off tiny electric pulses in the brain, people suffering from traumatic brain injuries can regain some focus, attention, and mood stability. That’s a big deal for the over five million Americans who are permanently disabled due to head trauma.… and may lead to technology becoming […]
The Future. The first treatment using the gene-editing tech CRISPR has already been approved in the US and UK for patients suffering from sickle cell disease. There are still a lot of kinks to work out concerning costs and patient safety in the broader market, but the health industry may be close to having treatments […]
