Futuristic it may seem, but the idea of using sound waves to levitate tiny objects is something we’ve seen demonstrated in a number of interesting ways. Scientists in Japan have now added another one to the list that might just bring this experimental … Continue reading “Acoustic tweezers” lift tiny ball off a board with nothing but sound
A large new study published in The Lancet journal EClinicalMedicine has detected significant cognitive deficits in recovered COVID-19 patients. The research found the more severe the case, the greater the persistent cognitive problems, with hospitalize… Continue reading UK study detects cognitive deficits in recovered COVID-19 patients
It goes without saying that the earlier someone can be warned of an impending heart attack or stroke, the better. A new skin patch could provide such warnings, by sending ultrasound pulses into the wearer’s body.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Scien… Continue reading Wearable ultrasound patch could warn of cardiovascular problems
Commissioned to create a private showroom for a collection of enviable cars, Arup and Unism have designed a cave-like lair that would be meticulously engineered to help ensure the vehicles are kept in perfect condition.Continue ReadingCategory: Archite… Continue reading Subterranean garage designed to keep classic cars in top condition
NASA’s Mars InSight has provided … well, insight, into the inner workings of the Red Planet. By monitoring “marsquakes” over the past two years the instrument has allowed scientists to measure the thickness and composition of Mars’ crust, mantle and co… Continue reading Mars InSight reveals first crust-to-core snapshot of Red Planet
Food security is a major potential problem, especially in the face of climate change. Now, researchers have shown that manipulating RNA in plants can drastically boost the amount of food they produce, and make them more resistant to drought conditions…. Continue reading Simple RNA tweak boosts potato and rice yields by 50 percent
Last year DeepMind put forward a compelling a solution to a 50-year-old science problem, demonstrating how its AlphaFold AI could predict the 3D structures of unique proteins, laying the groundwork for a new era of biological discovery. The company has… Continue reading AlphaFold predicts structures for nearly every protein in the human body
Garmin International is trying to take the pressure off of pilots caught in an engine shutdown emergency with its Smart Glide safety tool. Part of the company’s Autonomí family of autonomous flight technologies, its function is to reduce the pilot’s em… Continue reading Garmin Smart Glide acts as co-pilot in engine shutdown air emergencies
LG has updated its PuriCare Wearable Air Purifier mask by incorporating a microphone and speaker to make it easier to talk. The new device will appear first in Thailand in August with other parts of the world to follow.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearabl… Continue reading LG’s air purifying face mask now comes with built-in mic and speakers
One of the many ways researchers are working to improve the performance of autonomous drones is by having them compete against humans in the business of racing them. It takes some skill to pilot a tiny quadcopter through confined spaces at blistering s… Continue reading Autonomous racing drone claims landmark victory against human pilots
