Scientists spent 12 years mapping every neuron and connection in the brain of a fruit fly. Their 3D model is impressive. The hope is that we can learn what makes a real brain so efficient and how to apply that knowledge to artificial intelligence (neural networks). 💌 Subscribe to my FREE newsletter Once a month, cool science and technology news: newsletter.simplyexplained.com #brain #fruitfly #science #ai #artificialintelligence #neural #neuron #connection #smart #neuralnetwork #learning #deeplearning created by simplyexplained_com with simplyexplained_com's original sound - simplyexplained_com

There's a world record for walking barefoot on Lego pieces. It hurts like hell because Lego pieces are sharp (duh) and they don't move around much. By comparison, walking on glass is painless because your weight is being distributed across many sharp edges that constantly shift around. #LEGO #record #worldrecord #duplo #toys #teambuilding created by simplyexplained_com with simplyexplained_com's original sound - simplyexplained_com

This is the mystery of the Somerton Man. In 1948, the body of a man was found on Somerton Beach, Australia. After 70 years, he was finally identified through DNA research, using the same technique that identified the Golden State Killer 💌 Subscribe to my FREE newsletter Once a month, cool science and technology news: newsletter.simplyexplained.com #DNA #mystery #somerton #ancesters #research #spy #innocent created by simplyexplained_com with simplyexplained_com's original sound - simplyexplained_com

The Space Cup is designed to contain beverages in zero-G. Got to drink your coffee somehow, right? It's used on the International Space Station and was co-invented by astronaut Don Pettit. You can buy it for yourself, although it's pretty pointless in Earth's gravity. #space #zeroG #gravity #ISS #astronaut #coffee #NASA #spacestation #physics created by simplyexplained_com with simplyexplained_com's original sound - simplyexplained_com
