Neuralink: Oh Kids, You’re Going to Become Harry Potter!

🧠 Neuralink: Oh Kids, You’re Going to Become Harry Potter!


            Have you ever been amazed by how Harry Potter controls things without touching them? What if I told you that something like that is becoming real through science? Sounds crazy, right? Okay, let’s learn how!

🔬 What is Neuralink?

Neuralink, a company founded by Elon Musk and a team of neuroscientists in 2016, has developed a special brain chip called the N1 Link — also known as Telepathy. It’s as small as a coin, with threads thinner than a human hair. These threads are delicately inserted into the brain’s outer layer, called the dura mater. The chip stays hidden, charges wirelessly, and the surgery is performed by a precision robot.

⚙️ How Does It Work?

The N1 Link reads electrical signals from the neurons through its threads and sends them to a phone or computer. That means you can control devices just by thinking!

🧑‍🔬 Who Is It For?

Neuralink’s first goal is to help people who are paralyzed, can’t speak, visually impaired, or have conditions like Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s. The first person to receive it was Noland Arbaugh in 2024, followed by upgraded versions in 2025.

✨ With Neuralink, users can:

  • Move a mouse on a screen
  • Type words without using their hands
  • Play games like chess
  • Write or take notes
  • Browse the internet

Isn’t that magical? With science and curiosity, one day you can make something even greater!

The Last Drop of Humanity

Author: Ezhil Venil |  Genre: Sci-fi | Futuristic Thriller | Emotional Reality Backstory :  This is an imaginative sci-fi story set in the year 2060, exploring the importance of humanity through emotions. In this future world, humans live alongside AI robots. Over time, people began to believe that emotions were the root of many problems, including suicides, career barriers, impaired decision-making, relationship conflicts, manipulation, vulnerability, decreased productivity and etc. To eliminate these disadvantages, society decided to suppress emotions by inhibiting the secretion of dopamine and oxytocin. Additionally, people were given the option to erase specific memories related to certain individuals. This was achieved through a gene therapy in which a duplicate gene sequence was inserted into the human body, controlled by neuro-link towers. The protagonist, Madhira , was unable to undergo this therapy due to her body rejecting the genetic modifications. At first, she fe...

Decoding DNA: Definition, Structure and Function of DNA

  What is DNA ?      Whether we're talking plants, animals, or any other living critters, we all rock some seriously unique features tailored to our species' specifics. It's like our ancestral tailor went all out, considering the region, heritage, and our individual needs. But why the flair, you ask? Well, it's all in the grand decoding of our DNA, plus a sprinkle of environmental influence. That's right, folks, it's Mother Nature's fashion show, and we're all strutting our stuff! Ok, Let's move to the definition...    DNA, or Deoxyribonucleic Acid, is the fundamental molecule of life. It's the genetic material that holds the instructions for the growth, development, functioning, and reproduction of all living organisms.  It is a heriditary material passed onto offsprings through parents.  DNA is twisted into a double helix DNA structure. This iconic structure was el...

The structure and function of Eukaryotic cell

The Structure and Function of Eukaryotic Cells: A Detailed Exploration Eukaryotic cells are the building blocks of complex life forms, including animals, plants, fungi, and protists. They are characterized by their intricate structures and specialized functions, which enable them to perform a wide range of activities essential for life. In this blog post, we will delve into the fascinating world of eukaryotic cells, exploring their structure and function in a detailed yet easy-to-understand manner. Whether you are a student, a biology enthusiast, or simply curious about the microscopic world, this guide will provide you with valuable insights into the wonders of eukaryotic cells. What Are Eukaryotic Cells? Eukaryotic cells are cells that contain a true nucleus enclosed by a nuclear membrane, as well as various membrane-bound organelles that perform specific functions. This distinguishes them from prokaryotic cells, which lack a nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Eukaryotic cells ar...
