In a groundbreaking new study, researchers at the University of Minnesota, in collaboration with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Soldier Center, have 3D printed unique fluid channels at the micron scale that could automate production of diagnostics, sensors, and assays used for a variety of medical tests and other applications.
A device described as the world’s smallest ultrasound detector has been created by Vasilis Ntziachristos and colleagues at the Technical University of Munich and Helmholtz Zentrum München. The extremely sensitive device can image structures smaller than individual living cells and is made using inexpensive and readily available silicon-on-insulator technology. With further optimization, the team says their detector could be mass-produced for use in a broad range of imaging applications.
One of Saturn’s mysteries involves the massive storm in the shape of a hexagon at its north pole. The six-sided vortex is an atmospheric phenomenon that has been fascinating planetary scientists. In a recently published paper in PNAS, the researchers began to wrap their heads around how the vortex came to be.
Most medical algorithms were developed using information from people treated in Massachusetts, California, or New York, according to a new study. Those three states dominate patient data — and 34 other states were simply not represented at all, according to the research published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
The first ultrasound imaging device that converts acoustic signals directly into light has been created by Hyeonggeun Yu and colleagues at North Carolina State University in the US. The device was fabricated by depositing an organic LED onto a piezoelectric crystal and it can produce real-time images without the need for signal processing.
A team of US-based researchers has created an innovative robotic platform that can remotely measure hospital patients’ vital signs – and could help to significantly reduce the infection risk faced by healthcare workers assessing people with symptoms of COVID-19.
Tesla plans for its future electric vehicles to be able to both suck up power and spit it back out into the grid. Tesla didn’t specify when this capability would be available when CEO Elon Musk made the announcement during Tesla’s much-anticipated Battery Day event in Palo Alto, California.
At a recent innovation webinar hosted by the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL), speakers shared details of some of the breakthrough technologies being developed and commercialized by UK companies and laboratories.
Led by renowned cardiologist Dr. Heather Ross, the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Research and Peter Munk Cardiac Centre will collaborate with Apple to investigate how to drive better clinical outcomes for heart failure patients
Health care professionals should become more familiar with medications that cause irregular heart rhythms called arrhythmias, according to “Drug- Induced Arrhythmias,” a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association
