The American Clinical Neurophysiology Society has laid out some serious guidelines for a procedure called electrical stimulation mapping (ESM). This isn't your average brain surgery. It's a method used to map out the brain's functions and trigger seizures in a controlled way. The society has come up
Apple is gearing up for a big event on February 19th. Tim Cook, the CEO, hinted at this on X, saying "Get ready to meet the newest member of the family, " along with a GIF of the Apple logo. This event is expected to introduce the latest iPhone SE, a model that hasn't had an update since 2022.

Imagine trying to understand how molecules get excited. Scientists have come up with a clever way to do this using something called range-separated hybrids (RSHs). These RSHs are part of a bigger idea called time-dependent density functional theory. This new method doesn't force things to f
A SpaceX rocket launch lit up the evening sky over Southern California. All eyes were on the sky, and for a good reason. SpaceX successfully sent a Falcon 9 rocket from Vandenberg Space Force Base at around 6 PM on a Monday evening. This wasn't just any rocket, though. It was on its 23rd mission.
