High-density lipoproteins (HDL), also known as “good cholesterol,” remove excess cholesterol from body tissues and transport it to the liver. This process is known to prevent atherosclerosis, the buildup of plaque on artery…
Regenerative medicine has just received a promising innovation: a portable device capable of printing biodegradable implants directly into large bone defects. The equipment, described in a study published in the journal Device, was…
Archaeologists have announced a discovery that could change our understanding of the origins of art and symbolic expression in prehistory. In Saint-Césaire, in southwestern France, what is believed to be the oldest shell…
Adam Zewe | MIT News Annotating regions of interest in medical images, a process known as segmentation, is often one of the first steps clinical researchers take when running a new study involving biomedical images….
A group of researchers has developed WanderPal, a smart wearable device that could radically change the way people with severe visual impairments navigate cities. The device combines artificial intelligence and tactile feedback to…
A team of Brazilian researchers is uncovering promising results in the use of earwax to detect cancer at its earliest stages. According to scientists at the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), earwax is…
Researchers at Rice and Utah universities have developed a new type of soft, multistable metamaterial capable of changing shape when exposed to magnetic fields and maintaining its new configuration even after the external…
German researchers have developed an innovative underwater robot with artificial intelligence that could transform the way we deal with marine pollution by collecting ocean debris with its giant four-fingered robotic hand. To tackle…
Few ideas in modern science have reshaped our understanding of reality more profoundly than space-time — the interwoven fabric of space and time at the heart of Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity. Space-time…
A team at Rice University has developed a strategy to magnify small segments of proteins within living cells. The method reveals subtle environmental changes that may signal the early stages of diseases such…
