The number that makes circles perfect is more than a math trick. It shows up in rockets, tiny droplets, and even in the way we measure time on Pi Day. Every March 14th people mark the first three digits of this endless constant, 3. 14159, with pies and parades. The day began in 1988 at a scienc
Proteins are like tiny messengers in our body. They play a big role in diseases, drugs, and research. So, spotting them quickly and accurately is super important. There's a cool new way to do this using something called microscale thermophoresis (MST). It's like a heat wave that helps us see these p
Drugs can be tricky. They can help, but they can also cause trouble, especially when mixed. Figuring out which drug combos are risky is a big deal in health tech. But, it's not easy. Most tools out there have a hard time with tricky sentences and rare drug links. They often miss the mark. So, a new
In the world of tiny tech, handling droplets is a big deal. Imagine trying to move and split tiny drops of liquid with precision. That's what digital microfluidic devices do. They use something called electrowetting on dielectric (EWOD) to control droplets. But there's a problem. The way droplets sp
Boston Scientific is on the move. The company's neuromodulation division, currently based in Valencia, is relocating to a new spot nearby. This shift is notable because it marks a change in the company's footprint in the area. The new location is the former home of Scorpion, a marketing firm. This
New York has long been a big deal in the world of science. It's the second biggest recipient of National Institutes of Health money. Plus, it has more top-notch academic institutions doing research than any other state. The state trains a lot of doctors and biomedical researchers. But this leadershi
Lactate is a substance your body makes during exercise or when you're sick. Doctors need to measure it to understand your health. But there's a problem: too much lactate can mess up the tests. Scientists have found a solution. They made a tiny tool, a biosensor, to measure lactate accurately. This
Scientists have uncovered some fascinating differences in how blood vessels work in various types of lab mice. The C57BL/6 mice, which are super popular in research, come in two types: C57BL/6J and C57BL/6N. People often mix them up, but they're not exactly the same. First off, the C57BL/6N mice se
Ever wondered why dentists always stress about enamel? It's because once it's gone, it's gone for good. But now, scientists have cooked up a special gel that might just change that. This gel is like a superhero for your teeth, helping to grow back the protective layer that keeps them strong and heal
Freezing stuff without damaging it is a big deal. Think about ice cream. If it melts and refreezes, it gets all grainy. Now imagine that happening to cells or even organs. Not good, right? Scientists have been working on ways to freeze and thaw things without causing damage. They've come up with som
