A new study may be bad news for people who take so-called ‘smart drugs,’ usually prescribed to treat the symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), thinking they will increase workplace or academic productivity.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading ‘Smart drugs’ are not so smart when used by people without ADHD
Researchers have created a superabsorbent hydrogel that can pull moisture from the air in greater quantities than previously reported materials, even in desert conditions. The new material opens the door to creating an effective, sustainable method of … Continue reading Salt-loaded hydrogel pulls water from the air, even in desert conditions
Leaking sutures following abdominal surgery presents a potentially life-threatening complication that surgeons might not pick up immediately. Researchers have now developed a hydrogel patch that not only assists with wound closure but rapidly detects l… Continue reading New intra-abdominal patch senses hidden postop threat
Researchers have used a machine learning model to identify three compounds that could combat aging. They say their approach could be an effective way of identifying new drugs, especially for complex diseases.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTa… Continue reading Machine learning algorithm identifies 3 natural anti-aging chemicals
Inspired by how the human eye sees, processes, and sends information to the brain, researchers have created a tiny device that captures, recognizes and memorizes images enabling it to make quick, real-time decisions based on what it sees. The device co… Continue reading Eye-inspired device memorizes what it sees, enables real-time decisions

The health of Australia’s military could soon be monitored using data collected by smartwatches and wearable devices and analyzed using a machine learning algorithm. A new project plans to use such data to detect biological and chemical threats that de… Continue reading Wearables could detect biological & chemical threats for Aussie military
People with severe asthma may not respond to the usual treatment. Researchers have examined what drives the inflammatory response in severe asthmatics at a molecular level and their findings may lead to the development of an effective treatment for the… Continue reading Stopping immune system ‘talk’ may provide treatment for severe asthma
A new study has found direct evidence that an over-the-counter antihistamine can repair the protective nerve sheath that’s damaged in people with multiple sclerosis. The researchers also identified a biomarker that can be used to measure the drug’s eff… Continue reading Over-the-counter antihistamine repairs nerve damage caused by MS
A team of international researchers say they’ve set a new world speed record for an industrial standard optical fiber that’s as thick as a human hair and contains a groundbreaking 19 cores.Continue ReadingCategory: Telecommunications, TechnologyTags: F… Continue reading Groundbreaking optical fiber blazes new data transmission speed record
