Medical Xpress / Rethinking ultrasound gel: A natural solid pad for clearer, more comfortable imaging
Ultrasonography is a noninvasive imaging technique used for real-time imaging. This versatile technique is used as a reliable diagnostic tool in various modalities. The conventional liquid gel used in ultrasonography is a ...
Medical Xpress / Telesurgery matches local robotic urological surgery in first randomized trial
Telesurgery (operating on a patient remotely using a surgical robot via a secure telecommunication link) appears to be as reliable as standard robotic surgery (when the surgeon and patient are in the same room) for two common ...
Phys.org / Protein 'dark energy' provides insight into form vs. function in structure
Astronomers use the term dark energy to refer to energy in the universe that is unaccounted for by ordinary matter but necessary to explain cosmology. Astronomy, however, isn't the only field with missing energy. Rice University ...
Phys.org / Google unveils AI tool probing mysteries of human genome
Google unveiled an artificial intelligence tool Wednesday that its scientists said would help unravel the mysteries of the human genome—and could one day lead to new treatments for diseases.
Medical Xpress / World creeps closer to eradicating human Guinea worm cases, with just 10 last year: Carter Center
There were only 10 reported cases of Guinea worm infections confined to three countries in 2025, a historic low announced Friday by The Carter Center.
