And we discovered that a pair of paralyzed monkeys used a wireless device to regain the control of their legs and walk again. We also saw a paper about an AI that can surf the web and get better at finding information. We thought we’d give you a head start before it catches up. Here’s this week’s list.

But she was hardly the only one seduced by the power of the water flowing through the Niagara River, which straddles the border between the U.S. and Canada in northwestern New York.
