A group of engineers at the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Amherst has announced the creation of an artificial neuron capable of accurately reproducing the electrical functions of biological cells. The breakthrough, based on…
Infertility affects millions of people worldwide and is often associated with the absence of functional gametes. In women, the progressive decline in the quality and quantity of oocytes after the age of 35…
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…
