A team of researchers at Newcastle University in the UK has developed a novel MRI technique that can quantify lung function, providing a more accurate and sensitive assessment of respiratory diseases. The technique uses inhaled perfluoropropane to visualize lung ventilation and has shown promising results in detecting early changes in lung function, even in patients…
A group of 58 researchers has proposed a revised definition of obesity, shifting the focus from body mass index (BMI) to excess body fat and its impact on the body. This new approach aims to improve clinical care, public-health policies, and societal attitudes toward obesity, which affects over 1 billion people worldwide and is linked…
A new podcast series, “United by Fire,” explores the complex relationship between humans and wildfires in the United States. The series delves into the impact of climate change on fire seasons, the suppression of beneficial fires, and the risks associated with living in fire-prone areas. As wildfires continue to ravage the country, society must adapt…
Researchers at the California Institute of Technology and the University of Southern California have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of biomedical engineering. They have designed a hydrogel-based, image-guided, bioresorbable acoustic microrobot (BAM) that can deliver targeted doses of cancer-fighting drugs to destroy malignant tumors while sparing healthy bodily tissues. The microrobots use a…
A recent study by Paul Jensen, a microbial-systems biologist at the University of Michigan, has revealed that just ten bacterial species account for half of all publications, while nearly three-quarters of all named bacteria don’t have a single paper devoted to them. This bias towards a small number of model organisms has significant implications for…
The cryptocurrency mining industry is undergoing a significant shift towards environmentally friendly energy sources, with companies like KSD Miner leading the charge. This change is expected to reduce costs and increase profits for miners, making cloud mining a more attractive option for those seeking a stable passive income. KSD Miner’s innovative platform allows users to…
Researchers at New York University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the physics of Hula-Hooping. By experimenting with gyrating robots, they found that the shape of the robot’s body is crucial in keeping a Hula-Hoop aloft. The key factors are a “hip” slope that provides upward force and a “waist” curvature that keeps the hoop…
Mark Cuban, a well-known entrepreneur and investor, has expressed his willingness to fund a TikTok alternative built on Bluesky’s AT Protocol. This move comes as a response to the impending U.S. ban on TikTok, which is expected to take effect on Sunday. Cuban sees potential in a more open social web, powered by the AT…
Physicists at Caltech and New York University have made a groundbreaking discovery that could prove string theory to be the sole viable “theory of everything.” By unifying all fundamental forces of nature, including gravity, string theory could provide the long-sought quantum description of gravity that has eluded scientists for decades. The researchers used a novel…
