MONACO (AP) — Ten years after last winning a Formula One race, Fernando Alonso fancies his chances of a victory in Sunday’s Monaco Grand Prix.The 41-year-old Spanish driver has four third-place finishes in five races with Aston Martin this season.“I will attack more than any other weekend,” the two-time F1 champion said. ”I come here thinking I will try to win.”While defending champion Max Verstappen leads the championship for Red Bull, it’s Alonso’s form that has captured the imagination of fans.“If I tell you that I don’t come here thinking that I can win the race, I would lie to you,” said Alonso, who has 32 career F1 wins and 102 podium finishes. “Because this is a one-off opportunity.”The razor-thin street circuit, where drivers often brush close to the walls, suits Alonso’s high-risk and slick driving style.“We know Monaco, Singapore, there are specific race tracks,” he said. “You need to gain the confidence in the free practice, get c...

Man with paralysis walks naturally after brain, spine implants

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:01:59 GMT

(CNN) — New research reveals how a medical device helped one man with paralysis walk naturally again, more than a decade after an injury.Dr. Grégoire Courtine and colleagues from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne developed and implanted a “brain-spine interface” that creates a direct neurological link between the brain and spinal cord. Implants in the brain track intentions for movement, which are wirelessly transferred to a processing unit that a person wears externally, like a backpack. The intentions are translated into commands that the processing unit sends back through the second implant to stimulate muscles.The research findings, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, outline successful outcomes for one study participant from the Netherlands.Gert-Jan Oskam, 40, was left paralyzed after a motorbike accident in China more than a decade ago. His legs were impaired, as well as his arms and trunk.“My wish was to walk again, and I believed it was possible,” ...
