Neural lace:

  This word become so popular when Elon Musk announced that he is going to start a new venture namely Neuralink which involves connecting our brains to the computer by using neural lace.
Neural lace is an ultra thin mesh that can be implanted in the skull, forming a collection of electrodes capable of  monitoring brain function. It creates an interface between brain and the machine. To insert neural lace, a tiny needle containing the rolled up mesh is placed inside the skull. As the mesh leaves the needle it unravels, spanning the brain. Gradually the lace is accepted as a part of brain and will even move with it as it grows. It is thought that neural lace could treat neurdegenerative disorders and other life altering brain disorders.

What exactly is the Higgs boson?

 HIGGS BOSON

The Universe is made up of number of atoms and they are made up of electrons, protons and neutrons and each of them are made up of number of microscopic sub-atomic particles like quarks. They are normally scattered in a vaccum field where they are expected to gain some energies from a particle called higgs field. The term which the object gains energy from higgs field called higgs effect.
This was first discovered by Higgs et al. in 1960s named after him. But was scientifically proven in 21st century where the group of scientists used LHC and made some quarks to collide which in turn it produces some kind of particles and they named it higgs boson.
