A common, usually harmless bacteria have a significant role in causing stomach cancer, a new study has found. It joins the better-known, at least in medical circles, H. pylori bacteria as a known cancer risk. Researchers identified the bacteria’s mecha… Continue reading Another common bacteria implicated in stomach cancer
Researchers have found that inexperienced doctors performing AI-assisted colonoscopies significantly improved their detection of polyps. Using AI with this diagnostic tool could lower the chances of missing these potential precursors to colorectal canc… Continue reading AI scope hunts down colon polyps, aiding less experienced doctors
We may soon be finishing off a box of cereal and then eating the bag it came in. Researchers have turned to bacteria-produced cellulose to create a composite packaging material to replace plastic. The material is not only robust and sustainable to prod… Continue reading Bacterial cellulose used to create new edible packaging material
Kidney disease is a common, irreversible complication of diabetes. Researchers have developed an algorithm that uses genetic markers to predict whether a type 2 diabetic will develop kidney disease years in advance, which may provide a way of diagnosin… Continue reading Algorithm uses genetic markers to predict diabetic kidney disease
While aerial drones can travel long distances quickly, aquatic drones can explore underwater environments. The TJ-FlyingFish offers the best of both worlds, as it’s a flying quadcopter that is also able to make its way through the inky depths.Continue … Continue reading TJ-FlyingFish drone flies through the air and “swims” underwater
Researchers have created a new class of robots that can shift between solid and liquid forms on demand. In a series of tests, these new bots could move and change shape to run obstacle courses, carry objects, or even escape from a jail cell like a Term… Continue reading “Robot” made of shape-shifting matter liquefies to escape jail
In drawings or renderings of dinosaurs, we generally don’t see the beasts sporting human-like belly buttons. The reptiles did have an equivalent to a navel, however, and scientists have recently discovered the first known fossilized example of one.Cont… Continue reading Scientists spot first known fossilized dinosaur “belly button”
There are energy sources all over the place, if you know where to look. Researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) have now designed new modular nanogenerators that can harvest energy from a variety of different types of motion, such as … Continue reading Water-filled nanogenerators harvest energy from just about any movement
Researchers out of the Chinese University of Hong Kong have used a water soluble polymer commonly found in skin cream as a stabilizing agent for an aqueous lithium-ion battery, keeping costs and toxicity low and creating a stable voltage for common usa… Continue reading Skin cream ingredient brings stability to aqueous Li-ion battery
As compared to most other joints in the human body, the knee has quite a large range of motion … so why not put that motion to use, as a source of electricity? That’s what a new prototype device does, and it reportedly does not cause i… Continue reading Wearable device harvests energy from bending of the knee
