Wearable zaps infections by targeting antibiotic-resistant bacteria

As more bacteria that cause diseases become increasingly resistant to antibiotics, we need more ways to fight off infections. That’s where this new patch comes in. With just a gentle electric zap, this bioelectronic wearable could prevent bacteria from… Continue reading Wearable zaps infections by targeting antibiotic-resistant bacteria

Ultrathin, wireless, light-operated pacemaker cuts invasive surgery

Scientists at the University of Chicago have developed a new pacemaker that’s thinner than a human hair, wireless and operated entirely by light from an optic fiber. The non-invasive device could help regulate heart activity or even stimulate neurons i… Continue reading Ultrathin, wireless, light-operated pacemaker cuts invasive surgery

Tiny tyrannosaurs are separate species, not baby T. rexes, says study

The debate rages on about whether fossils of small tyrannosaurs were a distinct species or just juvenile T. rexes. A new study claims to have found evidence that a mini tyrannosaur species stomped around alongside its famous, giant cousin – but other s… Continue reading Tiny tyrannosaurs are separate species, not baby T. rexes, says study

Diamond-stretching technique makes qubits more stable and controllable

Researchers are claiming a breakthrough in quantum communications, thanks to a new diamond-stretching technique they say greatly increases the temperatures at which qubits remain entangled, while also making them microwave-controllable.Continue Reading… Continue reading Diamond-stretching technique makes qubits more stable and controllable

Fatty acid in beef & dairy found to boost immune cells’ cancer response

A new study has found that trans-vaccenic acid, a fatty acid found in dairy products and the meat of grazing animals, may boost the cancer-killing abilities of the immune system’s T cells. Also found to enhance the effectiveness of immunotherapy, the n… Continue reading Fatty acid in beef & dairy found to boost immune cells’ cancer response

FeetThrough tech guides walking users … by shocking their feet?

In recent years, we’ve heard about navigational systems which guide pedestrians via vibrating actuators in their shoes. The FeetThrough system takes a different and reportedly better approach, by actually shocking the soles of the feet.Continue Reading… Continue reading FeetThrough tech guides walking users … by shocking their feet?

“Inverse vaccine” reverses autoimmune diseases like MS, diabetes & arthritis

Researchers have developed an “inverse vaccine” that reverses the damage caused when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s healthy organs and tissues in autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis, type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. It… Continue reading “Inverse vaccine” reverses autoimmune diseases like MS, diabetes & arthritis

“Quantum superchemistry” observed in lab experiments for first time

Scientists at the University of Chicago have detected the first evidence of a phenomenon called “quantum superchemistry.” Long predicted but never confirmed, this effect could speed up chemical reactions, give scientists more control over them, and inf… Continue reading “Quantum superchemistry” observed in lab experiments for first time

Super-stretchable OLED opens door for range of wearable electronics

Researchers have developed a new OLED display that can be stretched to more than twice its length while still maintaining light emission and a clear image. The development opens the door to a wide range of wearable electronics.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Super-stretchable OLED opens door for range of wearable electronics
