Imagine having a tool that promises to make your job faster and more cost-effective—but it doesn't. Doctors are performing a certain type of weight-loss surgery using robots. This procedure is known as a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). During this surgery, doctors use a robotic system called Da Vi
Colorectal cancer is a tricky enemy, with mutations in proteins like APC and AXIN boosting the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is a key player in tumor growth and spreading. The pathway can be turned on in an unwanted way, leading to a buildup of β-catenin. This buildup is caused by
Let's dive into a fascinating world of tiny atoms trying to do big things. Picture this: scientists are working on turning carbon dioxide (CO2) into useful things, like fuel, using a special substance called cobalt phthalocyanine (CoPc). They are examining the core principles of this chemical reac
"The technology used to keep a close eye on military choppers was not working during the crash in the Potomac River. Why did this happen? " Every year, Army helicopters have to do training exercises. This includes using tracking technology so that air traffic management can track them. This helps k
Breast cancer is a big problem for women in many parts of Africa. While many studies have looked at how women cope after chemotherapy or surgery, not many have focused on what happens after radiation therapy. So, researchers in Kumasi, Ghana, decided to dig deeper into this. They talked to 17 women
The world of biosensing has seen amazing new developments with a technology called SERS combined with microfluidic chips. The smallest details can make a massive difference in science. Think about this: being able to detect a molecule or two in a crowd of a billion. That’s what we got here.
Every so often, scientists figure out tiny tricks to get closer to a solution to a big problem. For instance, scientists have been using a special microscope that lets them zoom in on atomic movement and spot what the others miss in the big world of batteries and other materials. The reason this te
Over the Potomac River, near Washington’s Reagan National Airport, a huge piece of a jet was pulled out of the water on a Monday morning. This happened five days after a collision between a commercial jet and a military helicopter. Sixty-seven people lost their lives in this tragic event. A
Imagine AI in endoscopy as a student learning from textbooks. For AI, learning from clean, consistent textbook images is like a breeze. Now, picture the endoscopy clinics where these AI systems are used. These clinics don't always have the same image settings. This difference can cause AI to miss im
The U. S. President Trump announced that airstrikes were carried out on a group of ISIS planners and other members in Somalia. These attacks took place on the 27th of January. That is this month. He said the target was a senior ISIS member and other operatives hiding in caves. They were a threat to
