You know how sometimes things just don't fit perfectly? Well, the same can happen with hip replacements. Doctors in a recent study looked into what makes hips go wonky after having a total hip replacement through the direct front path. They used specially designed stems for this operation. The study
Samsung has just unveiled a nifty new camera technology called All Lenses on Prism (ALoP). This tech changes the layout of periscope cameras to make them smaller and better at capturing low-light pictures. Periscope cameras use mirrors or prisms to enable long-range zoom, but they often take up a lo
Rain is no joke in Africa; it affects everything from farming to health. To predict rain, different tools are used, including numerical weather models (NWMs). These models cover whole regions, provide detailed images, and can look into the future. This study looked at two main models: the European
As electric vehicles (EVs) become more popular, a big problem is what to do with all the old batteries. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with LiFePO4 (LFP) cathodes are common, but they wear out and can't be easily reused due to damage. This is because they lose lithium and their structure gets messed u
Big bone losses are tricky to fix, and getting your own bone for a graft isn't always easy. That's where 3D printing comes in. Scientists recently created a special bone-like material using a type of polymer called poly(trimethylene carbonate) or PTMC. They mixed it with tiny bits of a bone-building
Tuberculosis, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has been a big health problem for a long time. In 2022, the number of new cases reached 7. 5 million, the highest since 1995. This increase could be due to the COVID-19 pandemic making it tough to find tuberculosis cases. Scientists looked at how
Wouldn't it be great to know if your millimeter wave (mmWave) signal is about to get blocked? A new study suggests that this might be possible with something called a liquid time constant (LTC) network. This special tool uses ordinary differential equations, inspired by biology, to predict future si
Before Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, a unique survey experiment was conducted. This experiment aimed to see if the propaganda spread by the Putin regime could sway public opinion to support military action. The results, collected a year before the actual invasion, showed that even mild fo
Ever wondered if sharing life stories can brighten the days of seniors in nursing homes? Researchers decided to find out. They gathered some elderly folks and split them into two groups. One group was asked to share their life stories, while the other didn't. The goal? To see if storytelling could b
Lake Mattamuskeet, the largest lake in North Carolina, has been dealing with a long-term problem called eutrophication. This process has made the water quality worse and created a perfect environment for harmful cyanobacteria to thrive. Scientists have been concerned about these blooms because some
