A simple blood test can help detect cancer in patients with non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, pain or weight loss. This is according to a Swedish study from Karolinska Institutet, Danderyd Hospital and others, published ...
Tech Xplore / A geometric twist boosts the power of robotic textiles
By rethinking how thin metal threads are woven into a flexible textile, EPFL researchers have created a lightweight fabric capable of lifting over 400 times its own weight. The work advances the development of wearables that ...
Tech Xplore / Europe wants to end its dangerous reliance on US internet technology
Imagine that the internet suddenly stops working. Payment systems in your local food store go down. Health care systems in the regional hospital flatline. Your work software tools—and all the information they contain—disappear.
