Energy drink consumption linked to anxiety, depression, stress in young adults

Research continues to uncover the harmful side effects of energy drink consumption. A study revealed that energy drink consumption is linked to anxiety, depression, and stress in young male adults. The study was carried out by a team of researchers from The University of Western Australia and Telethon Kids Institute in Australia who looked at the longitudinal links between energy drink consumption and symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress in young adults.

Training AI to understand how people think: Google’s DeepMind is one step closer to “thinking” like humans…

AI machines or programs capable of understanding and executing human thought patterns have been a popular theme in sci-fi for decades. Countless movies and books have explored the possibilities of future AI — and most of it looks pretty darn grim for humans — and now Google’s DeepMind firm could be bringing what was once considered fiction to life. The ushering in of new AI advancements could come at a steep price, as DeepMind trains their AI bot, named Theory of Mind-net, or ToM-net, to understand how humans think.

Tiny robots could roam inside our bodies, delivering drugs with unprecedented precision…

We’re not there yet, but we’re getting close. Last month scientists from China’s National Center for Nanoscience and Technology (NCNT) and Arizona State University said they had developed robots a few hundred nanometers across — there are 25 million nanometers in an inch — and when they injected them into the bloodstream of mice, the nanorobots could shrink tumors by blocking their blood supply.

Marijuna is nowhere near as dangerous to the brain as alcohol

Because of the powerful psychoactive effect of marijuana, many have always assumed that prolonged use can hurt the brain in a similar way to alcohol but while the effects of alcohol on the human brain have been thoroughly documented, the same can’t be said about marijuana. Luckily, we’re seeing a marijuana research revival in the past decade, prompted by the legalization of the recreational and medicinal use of cannabis in more than 10 states in the US.

HP launches new line of germicide-resistant computers meant for use in hospitals

The hospital environment is drastically different from the typical school or office setting, partly because of the sheer number of people that go through and interact in it each day. But the bigger reason is that there are many different sources of bacteria and viruses present inside hospitals, and germicide use is standard practice. As such, specialized equipment is needed to avoid causing any unexpected incidents involving patients and health workers in it.
