Scientists develop AI program that uses x-rays to detect COVID-19
Scientists from the University of the West of Scotland (UWS) have created a groundbreaking artificial intelligence program that uses x-rays to detect the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) faster and more accurately than standard PCR tests. The process uses x-ray technology. The patient gets an x-ray done of his or her chest. The AI program then uses an algorithm to […]

New Alzheimer’s treatment using ultrasound yields 75% success rate, restoring complete memory function in trial run
A new Alzheimer’s treatment called focused therapeutic ultrasound beams sound waves into brain tissue and stimulates the brain’s waste removal system, safely enabling a clearance of the plaques, clumps and tangles that block memories. This non-invasive technology uses sound waves to safely open the blood-brain barrier where your ‘janitorial’ microglial cells can sweep out the […]

Breakthrough (and scary) technology allows scientists to collect DNA from the air
A breakthrough technology allows scientists to obtain DNA samples from the air. The new technology collects environmental DNA (eDNA) shed by animals and humans for identification. Previously used to study fish, animals and invasive species, eDNA now shows promise in fields such as infectious disease epidemiology and forensics. Prior to the study, eDNA had been […]

Modern bone healing: Scientists design device that helps accelerate bone regeneration
As many as 6.3 million cases of bone fracture are reported in the U.S. annually. While the body usually begins to repair itself within minutes of a fracture’s occurrence, that process can sometimes be impaired. This can result in debilitating injuries. As a way to address the latter, surgeons at the University of Michigan Medicine […]

“Forever” diamond battery takes up to 28,000 years to run out of charge
California startup Nano Diamond Battery (NDB) says it has designed a battery made from nuclear waste that will take up to 28,000 years to run out of charge. The “forever” diamond battery was developed for use in deep space and other niche applications, but a consumer-facing prototype is also in the works. The firm said that the latter model will be able to last for nine consecutive years. It […]

Researchers to 3D-print living human pancreas for diabetes research
An international team of researchers will be 3D printing live human pancreas models as part of a research initiative called the “European ENLIGHT Project.” The researchers plan to use the “bioprinted” models to improve the testing of diabetes medications and eventually treatments for other diseases like cancer. The European Union‘s Horizon 2020 Innovation Fund awarded the project […]

Researchers unveil new device that filters, zaps coronavirus
Researchers from the University of Houston (UH) have unveiled a new air filter that could help fight the coronavirus pandemic. As detailed in an article published in the journal Materials Today Physics, the “catch and kill” device successfully killed 99.8 percent of aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 — the Wuhan coronavirus responsible for COVID-19 — in a single pass through its filter. […]

Scientists use DNA “origami” to create amazing nanomachines
It might seem like a notion straight out of a science fiction movie, but nanoscale devices made from DNA are now set to open a new era in biomedical research and materials science. According to Khalid Salaita, a professor of chemistry at Emory University, this is because unlike inorganic materials, DNA – the molecule that […]

Novel study uses magnetic nanoparticles to “burn” cancer cells
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the rapid and uncontrollable growth of cells. It is the second leading cause of death in the United States, with nearly 600,000 fatalities reported each year. As one of the most extensively studied human diseases, various cancer treatments have been developed by scientists. One such treatment has been steadily gaining […]

Researchers unveil “neural decoder” that can PREDICT what you want to say BEFORE you say it
Neuroscientists can now decode real-time spoken and heard speech signals in the brain into written text. Their groundbreaking research, published in the Nature Communications journal, is the first to demonstrate how a person’s intended speech can be drawn from brain signals and decoded into text before the actual act of speech itself. According to Edward […]
