Water can hold a huge amount of thermal energy, and a new system to tap into this resource is being trialed in Scotland. A startup called SeaWarm uses heat stored in bodies of water for buildings, pulling four times more heat out than electricity used….

Professor Peter Higgs has died aged 94. The theoretical physicist was best known for his prediction of a key elementary particle, the Higgs boson, which earned him the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics soon after its discovery.Continue ReadingCategory: Physi… Continue reading Professor Peter Higgs, renowned for Higgs boson prediction, dies aged 94
Inhaling an ultra-pure form of the ‘wonder material’ graphene did not produce any short-term adverse effects on lung and cardiovascular function in a small group of healthy volunteers. The first-in-human study opens the door to developing a novel targe… Continue reading Inhaling graphene is safe, according to human trial
The largest study of its kind ever carried out in the UK has found that 7,180 of the 40,393 hospitalizations and deaths from COVID-19 could have been avoided had the population been fully vaccinated.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Coron… Continue reading Lax vax resulted in thousands more COVID deaths, UK-wide study shows
It’s taken more than three decades, but scientists believe they have created a material that’s almost impossible to break and could rival diamond as the hardest substance on the planet.Continue ReadingCategory: Materials, ScienceTags: University of Edi… Continue reading Unbreakable material nearly as tough as diamond, with high energy density
Researchers have developed a scalpel with built-in force-measuring sensors and coupled it with a machine-learning model that could streamline how doctors are trained to perform surgery and pave the way for automated surgical devices.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Force-sensing ‘smart scalpel’ helps hone doctors’ surgical skills
The world may be quickly forgetting about COVID-19, but there are signs the next pandemic is already cooking up – bird flu. Scientists have now demonstrated that genetically engineering chickens can reduce their chances of catching and spreading the di… Continue reading Genetically engineered chickens could help slow spread of bird flu
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
Heart attack symptoms are sometimes similar to non-heart-related conditions, making diagnosis tricky. UK researchers have turned to machine learning to provide doctors with a fast and accurate way of diagnosing heart attacks that has the potential to s… Continue reading Machine learning algorithm a fast, accurate way of diagnosing heart attack
Taking 3D images underwater is tricky due to inconsistent lighting conditions and particles in the water that scatter light and cause distortion. Researchers have created a novel prototype system that uses quantum technology and LiDAR to overcome these… Continue reading Quantum tech hurdles problems of taking real-time 3D images underwater
