Scientists at the University of Nottingham have developed a first-of-its-kind imaging sensor designed to be deployed inside the human body to build 3D maps of cellular structures. The prototype device, which combines lasers and sound waves in an optica… Continue reading World-first imaging probe searches for cancer with lasers and sound
When someone has experienced a stroke or brain injury, it’s not uncommon for them to lose their ability to swallow properly. A recent study, however, suggests that a new throat-zapping system could help correct the problem faster than traditional treat… Continue reading Throat-zapping tech shown to help treat swallowing disorders

When it comes to monitoring electrical activity in the brain, patients typically have to lie very still inside a large magnetoencephalography (MEG) machine. That could be about to change, though, as scientists have developed a new version of a wearable… Continue reading New-and-improved MEG helmet scans the entire brain
The universe is generally believed to be expanding at an accelerating rate, thanks to a mysterious force dubbed dark energy. But how exactly does this force work? Researchers in the UK have conducted an experiment to test a hypothesis that th… Continue reading Atomic experiment to detect dark energy fails to feel the force
Although coffee consumption does potentially pose some health risks, studies have also suggested that it may lower incidences of maladies such as prostate cancer, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and heart disease. Now, scientists believe that it cou… Continue reading Study indicates that coffee might be an obesity-fighter
