Placing an external ventricular drain (EVD) is a routine but high-stakes neurosurgical procedure used to relieve intracranial pressure. It’s typically done in emergency settings — and often performed freehand, without real-time imaging. The…
Staying physically active is not so simple for wheelchair users. Manual wheelchairs require constant strength and, over time, can cause pain and injury. On the other hand, motorized wheelchairs make it easier to…
Researchers at Peking University, in partnership with institutions in Germany, Taiwan and China, have developed a state-of-the-art bioelectronic device capable of monitoring four essential wound biomarkers in real time: glucose, temperature, pH and…
Researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed a self-powered optoelectronic artificial synapse that can recognize colors with a precision of 10 nanometers and perform typical artificial intelligence tasks, such as classification and…
An engineering team from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln is one step closer to realizing a breakthrough that sounds like science fiction: robots and wearable devices capable of healing themselves after suffering damage, just…
University of Manchester scientists have successfully pioneered a way to create functioning human spinal discs, aiming to revolutionise our understanding of back pain and disc degeneration in a leap for medical science. The…
A team of scientists from Carlos III University of Madrid (UC3M) and Harvard University in the U.S. has experimentally demonstrated that it is possible to reprogram the shape and structural behavior of innovative…
McGill University researchers, in collaboration with colleagues in Israel and Ireland, have developed AI technology that can detect patterns in gut bacteria to identify complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) with remarkable accuracy, potentially…
A new study led by investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center suggests that artificial intelligence (AI) could help detect breast cancers that develop between routine screenings before they become more advanced and…
Adam Conner-Simons | MIT CSAIL Researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) have developed a novel artificial intelligence model inspired by neural oscillations in the brain, with the goal of significantly advancing…
