Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have developed a method to form dome-shaped bumps on nanofilms in water using a computer-guided electron beam. The bumps form within 10 seconds and can be flattened, reshaped or repositioned as needed.

Game that reduces dementia risk may clear amyloid from men’s brains

Beta-amyloid forms plaques in the brain (seen in yellow) that play a role in Alzheimer’s diseaseJUAN GAERTNER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/ Alamy A cognitive “speed training” game that cuts dementia risk by 25 per cent alters levels of beta-amyloid, a protein that clogs up the brain in Alzheimer’s disease, in men, but not in women. It is the first time brain training has been shown to influence the levels of a neurodegenerative marker, strengthening the evidence suggesting that mental exercises can...
