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 […]

Here come the tattoo marks – Scientists want to stamp children with invisible ink to prove they’ve been vaccinated
Just a few months before the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) was publicly announced, scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) announced the completion of a Mark of the Beast “tattoo” technology for children to keep track of their vaccination records. The microchip, which can be implanted directly into the skin, was designed with special invisible […]

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 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 […]

Ant-sized robots powered by vibration can move material: One day, ant-robots may even be used to repair injuries INSIDE the body
A team of researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) recently created a new type of tiny 3D-printed robot that moves by harnessing the power of vibrations. The team believes that swarms of these “micro-bristle-bots” could one day be used to move materials, sense environmental changes and even repair injuries inside the human body. […]

Scientists developing a new mask that traps and kills coronavirus on contact
Scientists from the University of Kentucky have received a grant from the National Science Foundation to develop a medical face mask that would capture and deactivate the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) on contact. The research team, led by engineering professor Dibakar Bhattacharyya, will be working with the university’s Center of Membrane Sciences and with other collaborators to make these […]

“Double-duty” hydrogel promotes bone growth while fighting bacteria
Bone infection is one of the complications that may arise from surgeries prompted by automobile accidents, combat wounds or cancer treatments. To fight this type of infection, a team of researchers recently developed a new, double-duty hydrogel that simultaneously attacks bacteria and promotes bone regrowth with a single application. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology created the […]
