Abstract: Sleep spindles, which are key biomarkers of non-rapid eye movement stage 2 sleep, play a crucial role in predicting outcomes for patients with acute disorders of consciousness (ADOC).

High-speed machining requires exceptional precision from every machine tool component. At the heart of this performance lies the spindle. Selecting one of the best spindles for high-speed machining is ...

John Allman (with colleague Atiya Hakeem at Caltech examining elephant brain specimens) is searching for one of the biological keys to human behavior. Aaron Huey There was little chance of missing the ...

Precision spindles are integral to a wide range of industrial machinery, including CNC machines, turbines, robots and medical devices. These high-performance components can rotate at extremely high ...

Summary: Sleep spindles—brief bursts of brain activity crucial for memory and sleep stability—are guided primarily by short-term timing patterns lasting less than 15 seconds. Researchers found these ...

Twelve-thousand years ago, people in a coastal village in the Levant used stone weights on their spindles to spin thread faster and more evenly—and, some archeologists are arguing, in the process they ...

The researchers made experimental spindles and whorls based on 3D scans of the pebbles. Yashuv and Grosman, PLOS ONE, 2024 under CC-BY 4.0 When faced with an assortment of 12,000-year-old perforated ...

Spinning methods. (a) Manual thigh-spinning [64]; (b) Spindle-and-whorl “supported spinning” [68]; (c) “drop spinning” [66]; (d) the experimental spindles and whorls, the 3D scans of the pebbles and ...
