The Intergenerational Opera, a music outreach programme in East Sussex which brings children and and elderly people together for workshops, were asked to take part in the Royal Carols for Christmas programme on Christmas Eve. Professional opera singer Charlotte Wicks was contacted by the BBC last month but she never dreamed that it would lead to being a part of this year’s Royal Carols for Christmas at Westminster Abbey. She was asked if she could recommend an older person who had caused a positive impact on school aged children. Having just completed another five week Intergenerational Opera project at St Peter’s Primary school…

Artifacts found at the Chorrillo Grande 1 site include Venetian glass beads (top), horse bones and teeth (middle) and metal artifacts including nails and ornaments (bottom). Credit: Juan Bautista Belardi A new study from a University of Colorado Boulder researcher, conducted with colleagues in Argentina, sheds new light on how the introduction of horses in South America led to rapid economic and social transformation in the region. William Taylor, an assistant professor of anthropology and curator of archaeology in the Museum of Natural History at CU Boulder, says this research shows that the story about people and horses in the Americas…

New ratings show that the city’s nine major chocolate shops helped to propel it to fourth in a survey ranking cities based on their love of chocolate. The city was narrowly pipped to the top three chocolate loving cities in the country by York, Edinburgh and Birmingham. Once home to the famous Choccywoccydoodah shop in The Lanes, Brighton is now home to nine chocolate shops with an average rating on Google of 4.6 stars. Nearly 9,000 searches for chocolate were made in Brighton in the last year according to the study by hotel operator Leonardo. A weighted ranking of cities…

Taking inspiration from the human brain, researchers have developed a new synaptic transistor capable of higher-level thinking. Designed by researchers at Northwestern University, Boston College and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the device simultaneously processes and stores information just like the human brain. In new experiments, the researchers demonstrated that the transistor goes beyond simple machine-learning tasks to categorize data and is capable of performing associative learning. Although previous studies have leveraged similar strategies to develop brain-like computing devices, those transistors cannot function outside cryogenic temperatures. The new device, by contrast, is stable at room temperatures. It also operates…
