Diabetic patients in particular may benefit from the device. In the operating room, surgeons can see inside the human body in real time using advanced imaging techniques, but primary care physicians, the people who are on the front lines of diagnosing illnesses, haven’t commonly had access to the same technology – until now. Engineers from

Have the potential to replace electronic circuits have the potential to replace electronic circuitsPhysicists at The University of Texas at Austin, in collaboration with colleagues in Taiwan and China, have developed the world’s smallest semiconductor laser, a breakthrough for emerging photonic technology with applications from computing to medicine. The scientists report their efforts in this

Researchers have developed a new technique that uses microneedle patches to collect DNA from plant tissues in one minute, rather than the hours needed for conventional techniques. DNA extraction is the first step in identifying plant diseases, and the new method holds promise for the development of on-site plant disease detection tools. “When farmers detect

Breakthrough in cancer research that reduces the analysis time from two months to only 47 seconds per patient, One of the greatest advantages of supercomputing is that it offers researchers tools to study some of the world’s most deadly diseases more effectively than traditional computing methods. Patrick Soon-Shiong, chairman of NantHealth and the Chan Soon-Shiong

Laboratory-made “minibrains” that show a primitive ability to think could transform research on neurological diseases and treatments, scientists say. The tiny balls of brain cells, each about the size of a housefly’s eye, have been created by US researchers who claim they could be mass-produced in large numbers. Grown from stem cells, the brains contain

  It looks overvalued. But even if this digital currency crashes, others will follow BITCOIN is booming. Investors are piling into the digital currency, which is not issued by a central bank but is conjured into being by cryptographic software running on a network of volunteers’ computers. This week the price of a Bitcoin soared

What does de-extinction mean for biology and the environment? A bird that once darkened the skies of the 19th-century U.S. no longer exists, except as well-preserved museum specimens bearing bits of DNA. An ambitious new effort aims to use the latest techniques of genetic manipulation to bring the passenger pigeon back, as North Dakotan Ben Novak,

By Taking Advantage of Novel Design Patterns, Researchers in Taiwan have Developed a Highly Flexible White Light LED that uses Cheap, Readily-accessible Components Researchers from National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan have created highly flexible, efficient white LEDs with potential use in wearable displays and non-flat surfaces, such as curved and flexible television screens. While the
