Scientists have created a pattern that, according to researchers, is impossible to duplicate or forge, a feat that could quash counterfeiters. The key to these patterns lies in a two-step verification system that incorporates both micropatterns and the same principles used in whispering galleries. Jeff and Anthony discuss the idea of a Physical Unclonable Function and how it might be used. Then, what if you could stimulate your brain to become 10-15% more capable of learning a language? Researchers have found clues to being able to do it, and Anthony and Jeff discuss the benefits of brain plasticity.
