🚀A major breakthrough in wearable #EMG: Stanford researchers show that a compact 6-channel device can achieve 32-channel-level performance using a generative EMG model. A significant step forward for gait analysis, gesture decoding, and real-world neuromuscular monitoring. #WearableTechnology

Doing more with less! Kyun Kim, Scott Delp, Zhenan Bao and colleagues report @natsensors.nature.com a compact six-channel EMG device for complex task predictions, such as individual alphabet recognition and gait dynamics predictions. www.nature.com/articles/s44...

BOOSTER, a newly identified orphan gene, supercharges photosynthesis and, when overexpressed, boosts height of poplars by up to 200% (at least in greenhouse) To make it even more interesting, part of the gene seems derived from a poplar fungus-farming ant 🐜 Paper: www.cell.com/developmenta...

Figure from the paper, showing BOOSTER-overexpressing poplar plants that are about twice as tall as the negative controls. Googly eyes (not from original paper) look at the taller plants.
