Instead of implanting ready-made electronics into the body, Swedish researchers went a completely different route: they’re growing what they need inside the brain. Injecting a gel filled with enzymes directly into a specific area, the method allows the soft material to combine with biological tissue to grow electrodes for future medical use.

This newfound method for getting electrodes into biological tissue introduces fresh options for repairing nerve functions, and potentially provides a sweeping opportunity to treat diseases.

The Schumann Resonances are a set of frequencies produced by electromagnetic waves in Earth’s lower ionosphere.

The frequencies, created from thunderstorms and lightning, range from 7.83 Hz, called the Earth’s “heartbeat,” to 33.8 Hz.

Can our bodies truly be affected by electromagnetic frequencies generated by incessant lighting strikes? Certainly some of the speculation ventures into new age science.

In 1966, in Britain, an extraordinary project took shape. An UK wide attempt to determine whether people really could predict future events by reporting premonitions as they had them, to a centralised bureau.

John Barker, a Cambridge-educated psychiatrist whose interest in clairvoyance led him to pitch the Evening Standard late in 1966 with the idea of a “Premonitions Bureau”.

Aiming ultrasound at the brain raises hope of new treatments.

As a way to see inside the body, revealing a tumor or a fetus, ultrasound is tried and true. But neuroscientists have a newer ambition for the technology: tinkering with the brain. At frequencies lower than those of a sonogram but still beyond the range of human hearing, ultrasound can penetrate the skull and boost or suppress brain activity.

This approach could lead to new ways to treat epilepsy, depression, and Alzheimer’s disease.

Birds do it. Bees do it. But the human subject, standing here in a hoodie—can he do it? Joe Kirschvink is determined to find out. For decades, he has shown how critters across the animal kingdom navigate using magnetoreception, or a sense of Earth’s magnetic field. Now, the geophysicist at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in Pasadena is testing humans to see if they too have this subconscious sixth sense. Kirschvink is pretty sure they do. But he has to prove it.

For our second segment we have our special guest Denise Baldwin talking about James Lovelock.

James Lovelock, one of Britain’s greatest scientists, is famous for developing the Gaia hypothesis, which sees the Earth as a self-regulating system.

In his long and influential career, he also revealed the chemicals that were destroying the ozone layer.

He’s just celebrated his 101st birthday and the BBC’s chief environment correspondent Justin Rowlatt visited him at his home in Dorset.
