The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for 2020 has been awarded to a trio of scientists for their pioneering work concerning the hepatitis C virus. The researchers’ work was instrumental in first identifying the novel virus and then enabling testin… Continue reading Nobel Prize for Medicine awarded to trio behind hepatitis C discovery
Precariously balanced rocks, or PBRs as they’re known in geological circles, are ancient and delicately poised natural formations that can offer scientists interesting clues about earthquake hazards in the area. By understanding the upper limits of the… Continue reading Precariously balanced rocks offer clues about future earthquake risk
After having its operations impacted by the coronavirus through the early and middle parts of the year, Tesla has posted a new quarterly record for deliveries. The automaker shipped just under 140,000 cars in the third quarter of 2020, boding well for … Continue reading Tesla posts a quarterly record for electric car deliveries
One of the ways physicians can gain some forewarning of impending heart failure is through the detection of excess fluid in the lungs, and MIT researchers have developed a new machine learning tool that could offer them a helping hand. The algorithm is… Continue reading Machine learning tool scans lung X-rays to predict heart failure
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have leveraged recent advances in 3D printing to produce electronic fibers that could be used as sensors for health monitoring, all while being invisible to the naked eye. The fibers were demonstrated as porta… Continue reading Ultra-fine, 3D-printed fibers can monitor leakage from face masks
Scientists in China and Switzerland have teamed up to produce an implantable medical device that mimics the primary function of blood vessels, but goes a number of steps further than its natural counterparts. These electronic blood vessels can be used … Continue reading Electronic blood vessels can be tuned to deliver DNA and heal wounds
Much mystery surrounds the biological processes behind the human sense of hearing, but with cutting-edge scientific tools researchers are starting to unravel its secrets. A team at Ohio State University has now produced the first ever atomic-level mapp… Continue reading Atomic-level maps of fine ear filaments shine a light on hearing loss
Hydropower plants that leverage the force of falling water to generate electricity are already an important part of the global energy mix, but a new study suggests they may have much more to offer. Scientists have carried out an analysis of the energy … Continue reading Study reveals potential of hydropower dams topped with floating solar
