Yes: handwriting still matters.A new study has confirmed that writing by hand activates far more complex and widespread neural networks in the brain than typing, underscoring its importance for learning and memory.Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology used a high-density EEG cap with 256 electrodes to record brain activity in university students. They found that the intricate, sensory-rich movements involved in handwriting, especially cursive, trigger highly synchronized brain waves across extensive areas of the parietal and central regions. These coordinated patterns are strongly linked to memory formation, cognitive processing, and encoding new information.In contrast, typing, which involves repetitive, simpler finger movements, produced significantly less neural connectivity and engagement. The difference was striking: the brain appears much less active during digital writing.The researchers conclude that the unique motor and sensory experience of holding a pen plays a key role in brain development and learning. As a result, they argue that handwriting instruction should remain a core part of education to support deeper comprehension and cognitive growth in the next generation.[ “Handwriting vs. Typing: A High-Density EEG Study on Brain Connectivity During Learning” — Norwegian University of Science and Technology (published in Frontiers in Psychology, 2025)]Science and facts💡

The strongest material in the universe.

The strongest material in the universe. The most durable and at the same time lightweight material in our universe is graphene. This is a carbon plate, the thickness of which is just one atom, but it is stronger than diamond, and its electrical conductivity is a hundred times higher than that of silicon in computer chips.Science and facts💡

Asteroid 152637 (1997 NC1), larger than the Empire State Building, has already made its safe closest approach to Earth today.

Asteroid 152637 (1997 NC1), larger than the Empire State Building, has already made its safe closest approach to Earth today. It flew by at around 7:14 a.m. EDT on June 27 with no risk of impact.The asteroid measures roughly 2,500–5,400 feet across (NASA estimates ~3,100 feet), making it significantly taller than the 1,454-foot Empire State Building. It passed about 1.6 million miles from Earth, m...

A new theoretical study proposes that time is not a universal constant throughout the universe, but an emergent phenomenon tied to the curvature of spacetime, one that could gradually weaken and eventually fade away as the cosmos expands.For decades, physicists have grappled with the idea that time may not be fundamental. Now, Anderson Gama Fernandes de Freitas of Brazil’s Federal University of Itajubá has introduced a “geometric clock” framework within general relativity. According to this model, time functions meaningfully only in regions where spacetime is sufficiently curved by gravity (such as near massive objects or in the dense early universe). In vast, nearly flat, empty regions of space, the geometric conditions supporting time break down, and it loses its operational meaning.As the universe continues to expand and becomes increasingly flat, this theory suggests that cosmic time itself may slowly “wind down,” eventually leading to a future where time ceases to exist in its current form.Beyond its striking implications for the fate of the universe, the model offers a promising approach to the long-standing “problem of time”, the fundamental incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity regarding how time behaves. By treating time as a local, geometry-dependent feature rather than a universal backdrop, the framework helps bridge these two pillars of physics.[Anderson Gama Fernandes de Freitas, “Geometric emergence of time in canonical quantum gravity,” Classical and Quantum Gravity (2026).

The human eye is one of the most complex organs in the body. Working together with the brain, it can rapidly adjust to changing light, detect motion, distinguish millions of colors, and process an enormous amount of visual information every second.Light enters through the cornea and pupil before being focused by the lens. It then passes through the vitreous humor and reaches the retina, where spec...
