A new study has found that giving human placenta cells to mice reduced high blood pressure and the arterial inflammation and cognitive impairment caused by it. The findings open the door to a new form of therapy that goes beyond lowering high blood pre… Continue reading Placenta cells prevent cognitive impairment in mice with high BP
A study has found that playing a soundscape to a common, plant-promoting fungus found in soil caused it to grow more rapidly than fungi that weren’t exposed to sound. The novel ‘eco-acoustic’ approach has the potential to restore damaged ecosystems.Con… Continue reading Sound makes soil fungi bloom & could restore damaged ecosystems
Researchers have developed a silicon surface covered in nanosized spikes that is 96% effective in impaling and destroying a common virus responsible for causing respiratory illnesses, particularly in infants and young children. The technology could be … Continue reading Nanoscale spikes 96% effective at impaling and destroying common virus
Researchers have developed a chip that analyzes a patient’s blood for cells shed by a lung cancer tumor, enabling treating physicians to determine whether lung cancer treatment is working by as early as the fourth week. The information provided by the … Continue reading Chip checks blood to see if cancer treatment is working by fourth week
Researchers have developed a battery-free sensor that reacts to sound waves, such as particular spoken words, producing enough vibrational energy to power an electronic device. The novel sensor would not only reduce battery waste but could also power m… Continue reading Battery-free sensor harnesses the power of speech
Researchers have overcome a major challenge in biomimetic robotics by developing a sensor that, assisted by AI, can slide over braille text, accurately reading it at twice human speed. The tech could be incorporated into robot hands and prosthetics, pr… Continue reading Breakthrough could see robots with ‘fingertips’ as sensitive as humans
Researchers have identified 317 million unique gene clusters belonging to oceanic microbes. Creating the world’s largest open-source catalog representing only the ‘tip of the iceberg’ in marine metagenomics, the library offers a tool for exploring how … Continue reading 317M ocean gene clusters may be biotech boon, are “tip of the iceberg”
Improving on what users loved about its predecessor and then adding extra features, the Phantom 2.0 folding utility knife is claimed to now be even more perfectly suited to hiking, hunting, camping, wilderness survival, or regular everyday use around t… Continue reading The Phantom 2.0: A beloved titanium utility knife gets an upgrade
The FDA has granted clearance for the first AI-powered handheld medical device to assist physicians in detecting all three common skin cancers: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Providing a more accurate way of identifying sk… Continue reading AI-powered device to detect all 3 common skin cancers okayed for doctors
Researchers have modified a unique cancer-loving probiotic bacteria to release a marker that can be detected in the urine after it comes into contact with bowel cancer, even when it’s in the early stages. The novel test may mean avoiding invasive proce… Continue reading No poo required: Novel test takes the mess out of bowel cancer screening
