Researchers have come up with a new method to measure brain’s electrical activity, without electrodes. They built Archon1, a light-sensitive protein, that ejects a fluorescent signal after it’s delivered into a brain cell. Neurons...
Scientists used a data-driven approach for facial phenotyping that exploits partable as well as integrated data contained in 3D facial images. The study has a wide range of applications from early diagnosis, treatment planning in craniofacial...
The new CRISPR-based tool, named SHERLOCK, can detect many diseases and infection like dengue, HPV and Zika. It can check the presence of target molecule(s) in a given sample, without requiring any additional expensive equipment. A team of...
Metal-organic frameworks can capture, store and release chemical compounds like salts and ions in seawater. It has a wide internal surface area and sponge like crystals for trapping chemical compounds dissolved in water. Do you know more than 783...
A startup has developed a portable device, named iQ, that lets you generate clinical-quality ultrasound image on your iPhone. It leverages augmented reality and artificial intelligence to make interface more user-friendly. The device is FDA...
The emotional and psychological stress can accelerate the development of pancreatic cancer. Stress generates a feed-forward loop between cancer cells and nerves, promoting tumor growth. The patients’ life expectancy can be increased with beta...
Researchers have successfully tested far ultraviolet C light to eradicate airborne flu viruses without damaging human tissues. If results are confirmed in other scenarios, it would be safe to use this approach in public locations for preventing the...
A sphere (micrometer-scale) is trapped in a liquid mixture using optical tweezers, and under specific conditions it rotates around the laser beam. The sphere’s rotational speed increases with the increase in laser power. The behavior can...
Scientists have found a new way to stimulate the stem cells in the tooth’s pulp and regrow new dentine in bigger cavities. This new method utilizes an Alzheimer’s drug to make teeth repair themselves within 6 weeks. So far, the...
A new technique holds promise for high speed reaction screening while using minute amounts of chemicals (low µg level). It provides information valuable in scaled-up synthesis, including solvent and pH optimization. It can reduce analysis time for...
Forensic Science plays an important role in the modern judiciary setup in almost every nation around the world. By definition, forensic science is the application of science that is practiced during the criminal investigation by appropriate...
When your eyes move, so do your eardrums. The movements of eardrum encode spatial information about the movements of eyes, and this helps our brain to merge visual and auditory space. The study could help us better understand disorders ranging...
