Until now, there have been few therapeutic options for children with severely reduced heart pump function. Recently, surgical constriction of the pulmonary artery has been introduced as an innovative approach to deliberately ...
Tech Xplore / Lasers turn parchment paper into high-performance electronic circuits
What if the next generation of disposable electronics—the sensors in your food packaging, the diagnostic strips in a medical clinic, the environmental monitors scattered across a farm—were built not on silicon or plastic, ...
Tech Xplore / AI-powered table tennis robot now challenges human pros and hints at faster, more adaptive machines
A paddle-wielding robot is so adept at playing table tennis that it is posing a tough challenge to elite human players and sometimes defeating them, according to a new study that shows how advances in artificial intelligence ...
Phys.org / Peptide synthesis could stop global potato pathogen once linked to Ireland's Great Famine
Scientists in Sweden have taken an important step toward fighting potato late blight, a plant disease that once triggered a historic famine in Ireland and now threatens to spread globally due to climate change. A new study ...
Phys.org / How cells turn mechanical forces into biochemical signals
Cells constantly probe their environments, searching for physical cues that guide their behavior. And yet a cell's response to its environment is always biochemical, mediated by the chemistry of its internal protein machinery. ...
Medical Xpress / Deep brain ultrasound uncovers pain-processing network tied to heat sensitivity changes
A new noninvasive neurostimulation technique capable of reaching deep regions of the brain has been used to elucidate the brain's pain mechanisms, with promising clinical applications in neurology and psychiatry. Described ...
