Apple may be about to change how iPhone charges

Apple is investigating wireless charging for the iPhone and iPad, according to a report from Bloomberg.
The technology could be included in phones and tablets by next year and would allow devices to be charged at a longer distance than current power mats — a wireless solution presently used by some phones.

Apple is working to overcome some of the technical challenges that come with wireless charging, including safety and a loss of power over a longer distance, according to the report.
Apple has previously denied it was investigating wireless charging when it introduced the Lightning cable, the last update to how the iPhone and iPad received power.
Apple is said to be developing the technology in-house, but other manufacturers, such as Samsung and LG, already have phones on the market using wireless-charging technology. However, many of these require the phone to be in contact with a power mat. Bloomberg claims Apple will introduce the technology into phones and tablets in 2017, meaning the iPhone 7s may be the first device with the technology. The iPhone 7, which is expected in September this year, will likely include a new, thinner
design and iOS 10, the next version of Apple's mobile operating system.

'Lost' Memories Restored in Mice

In a feat that calls to mind the memory-tweaking technology in the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," a team of researchers restored "lost memories" in the brains of mice. The mice in the study were given a drug that prevented them from consolidating a fearful memory. But when neurons involved in encoding the memory were stimulated with pulses of light, the animals were able to retrieve the forgotten recollection. In some forms of amnesia, past memories may not be erased, but may just be inaccessible for recall, said Susumu Tonegawa, director of the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan and co-author of the study, said in a statement. If the findings are confirmed in humans, the knowledge could benefit people who suffer from retrograde amnesia, an inability to recall memories that were made before the amnesia, which is common in traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders. Scientists have long debated whether retrograde ...
