Scientists have discovered a ground-breaking bio-synthetic material that they claim can be used to merge artificial intelligence with the human brain. The breakthrough, presented today at the American Chemical Society Fall 2020 virtual expo, is a major step towards integrating electronics with the body to create part human, part robotic "cyborg" beings. Connecting electronics to human tissue has been a major challenge due to traditional materials like gold, silicon and steel causing scarring when implanted. Scars not only cause damage but also interrupt electrical signals flowing between computers and muscle or brain tissue. The researchers from the University of Delaware were able to overcome this after various types of polymers. "We got the idea for this project because we were trying to interface rigid organic microelectrodes with the brain, but brains are made out of organic, salty, live materials," said Dr David Martin, who led the study. "It wasn't wo...

  Manchester United spurned an excellent opportunity to end the 2019-20 season with a trophy after losing to Sevilla in the Europa League semi-finals on Sunday night. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men went into the tie as favourites and took the lead in the ninth minute courtesy of a Bruno Fernandes penalty. But goals either side of half-time from Suso and Luuk de Jong sent the Spanish outfit through to Friday’s final at the Red Devils’ expense. United were arguably the better team at the RheinEnergieStadion in Cologne but missed a host of chances over the course of the 90 minutes. The Premier League giants had 20 shots compared to Sevilla’s nine, seven of which were on target. However, poor defensive errors certainly contributed towards United’s failure to reach the Europa League final. Victor Lindelof has been heavily criticised for his role in De Jong’s winning goal. The Swedish centre-back was badly positioned when Jesus Navas swung in the cross which resulted in an unmarked De Jong t...
