Astronomers have discovered a super strange neutron star that challenges our understanding of them – but may help unlock the mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs). The object spins far slower than any other known neutron star, and gives off seven distinc… Continue reading “Impossible” neutron star spins too slowly and emits 7 types of signals
Researchers at the University of Sydney have developed a new type of radar that can measure objects down to centimeters. The new technique uses a photonic system to generate much higher bandwidth signals, enabling radar that can detect smaller objects … Continue reading Advanced photonic radar captures images down to the centimeter scale
There may be new hope for people with certain types of blindness, as an experimental sight-restoring device has been deemed safe for implantation. It still has to be tested on humans, though, and it will likely provide a fairly rudimentary form of visi… Continue reading “Sight”-restoring bionic eye proceeds along the path to human trials
A new meta-study, led by researchers from the University of Sydney’s Lambert Initiative, has concluded blood or saliva THC concentrations are not effective ways to measure cannabis-induced driving impairment. The findings suggest the need for more nuan… Continue reading Blood or saliva THC levels found to be poor sign of driving impairment
While there are now systems that allow cars to see pedestrians or vehicles which their drivers may not notice, such setups typically still can’t detect hazards that aren’t in direct line of sight. A new technology, however, uses other vehicles and road… Continue reading “Collective perception” tech lets connected cars see hidden hazards
A compelling study has found pupils respond in the same way to the number of objects in one’s field of vision as they do to light. Experiments revealed pupils dilate in response to images with larger quantities of dots, indicating sensing numbers is an… Continue reading Pupil size found to vary based on number of objects you’re looking at
New Australian research is systematically investigating the anticonvulsant effects of a number of rare compounds in cannabis. A new study is reporting cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), informally known as the “mother of all cannabinoids,” may be more effecti… Continue reading CBGA, the “mother of all cannabinoids”, reduces seizures more effectively than CBD
Results have been published from a large Phase 3 clinical trial testing a unique hypertension treatment that combines low-doses of four different blood-pressure-reducing drugs. The results indicate the novel strategy is significantly more effective tha… Continue reading Unique 4-in-1 blood pressure drug proves successful in Phase 3 trial
How long is a person’s ability to safely drive impaired after consuming cannabis? A world-first meta-analysis looking at 80 different studies suggests cannabis intoxication spans anywhere from three to 10 hours, raising questions over some roadside tes… Continue reading Study calculates duration of driving impairment after smoking cannabis
By studying the twinkling of stars, astronomers in Australia have discovered a huge cloud of cold gas in our galaxy, not far from Earth. This invisible mass could provide new hints about where to find the universe’s missing matter.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Cold gas cloud in our galaxy could be hiding universe’s missing matter
