EU sets new online rules for Google, Meta to curb illegal content
BRUSSELS — Alphabet unit Google, Meta and other large online platforms will have to do more to tackle illegal content or risk hefty fines under new internet rules agreed between European Union countries and EU lawmakers on Saturday.The agreement came after more than 16 hours of negotiations. The Digital Services Act (DSA) is the second prong of EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager's strategy to rein in Alphabet unit Google, Meta and other U.S. tech giants.Last month, she won backing from the 27-country bloc and lawmakers for landmark rules called the Digital Markets Act (DMA) that could force Google, Amazon, Apple, Meta and Microsoft to change their core business practices in Europe."We have a deal on the DSA: The Digital Services Act will make sure that what is illegal...

Japan researchers develop electric chopsticks to enhance salty taste
TOKYO — Japanese researchers have developed computerised chopsticks that enhance salty tastes, potentially helping those who need to reduce sodium in their diets.Co-developed by Meiji University professor Homei Miyashita and beverage maker Kirin Holdings Co. (2503.T), the chopsticks enhance tastes using electrical stimulation and a mini-computer worn on a wristband.The device uses a weak electrical current to transmit sodium ions from food, through the chopsticks, to the mouth where they create a sense of saltiness, said Miyashita. "As a result, the salty taste enhances 1.5 times," he said.Miyashita and his lab have explored various ways that technology can interact with and stimulate human sensory experiences. He has also developed a lickable TV screen that can imitate...

A woman paying for her meal in a café using a contactless payment chip implanted in her hand.
Microchip implants let you pay with your hand
AMSTERDAM — Patrick Paumen causes a stir whenever he pays for something in a shop or restaurant.This is because the 37-year-old doesn't need to use a bank card or his mobile phone to pay. Instead, he simply places his left hand near the contactless card reader, and the payment goes through."The reactions I get from cashiers are priceless!" says Paumen, a security guard from the Netherlands.He is able to pay using his hand because back in 2019 he had a contactless payment microchip injected under his skin."The procedure hurts as much as when someone pinches your skin," says Paumen.A microchip was first implanted into a human back in 1998, but it is only during the past decade that the technology has been available commercially.And when it comes to implantable...

This magnified skin cell is from a 53-year old woman but it looks and behaves like one that is 30 years younger.
Rejuvenation of woman's skin could tackle diseases of aging
LONDON — Researchers have rejuvenated a 53-year-old woman's skin cells so they are the equivalent of a 23-year-old's.The scientists in Cambridge believe that they can do the same thing with other tissues in the body.The eventual aim is to develop treatments for age-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and neurological disorders.The technology is built on the techniques used to create Dolly the cloned sheep more than 25 years ago.The head of the team, Prof Wolf Reik, of the Babraham Institute in Cambridge, told BBC News that he hoped that the technique could eventually be used to keep people healthier for longer as they grow older."We have been dreaming about this kind of thing. Many common diseases get worse with age and to think about helping people in this way...
