A research group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico has developed a device for ultra-low field Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The device captured its first, blurry shots of a human brain, revealing brain activity and structure. The ...
In collaboration between high-energy physicists from the University of California in Santa Cruz, and neuroscientists from the Salk Institute in La Jolla, California, a ganglion cell in the retina of primates was found to react to movement. The cell was ...
A new robot developed by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburg is able to reach distant locations on the surface of a beating heart, and to carry out several operations on the heart’s surface. The HeartLander ...
Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have developed a novel computational image-forming technique for optical microscopy, called ISAM. The new technique is capable of producing three-dimensional images even from blurry, out-of-focus data. The new tool will improve the ...
HP and Crospon have developed a skin patch which uses microneedles that barely penetrate the skin. The microneedles can replace conventional injections and deliver drugs through the skin without causing any pain. The skin patch technology also enables delivery of ...
Scientists from UCLA recently pinpointed a possible physical origin of Alzheimer’s disease. The amyloid-beta protein has long been known to clump in the brain and be involved in the progression of the disease. The UCLA team identified a loop in ...
The U.S. Company Exmocare has developed a novel wristwatch, which is capable of monitoring many physiological signals. The watch can send a report regarding the wearer’s emotional and physiological state to a loved one or caretaker, via email, SMS, or ...
Sai Reddy, PhD student from EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausunne) in Lausanne, Switzerland has won the KPMG Tomorrow’s Market award for a vaccination methodology he developed along with Professor Melody Swartz and Professor Jeff Hubbell. The vaccination uses nanoparticles ...
European researchers have discovered that they can successfully neutralize the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). A study conducted by Professor Jens Lundgren and his colleagues from the EuroSIDA research group shows that a long term treatment of HIV-infected patients with the ...
Scientists from the Chonnam National University in Korea have developed a robot that is able to move inside blood vessels. The micro robot has many possible applications, such as performing tests and releasing drugs when hitting a blood clot. The ...
