Archer, a company known for its work on air taxis, is making a significant shift. They are now focusing on supplying their electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) technology to others. This change is big news because it shows Archer is expanding beyond just building air taxis. The first compa
Utah arrays are tiny devices that help people and animals communicate with computers using their brains. They pick up electrical signals from the brain to control things like prosthetic limbs or restore senses. But there's a big problem: small movements between the array and the brain can cause stra

Now, they are looking at new ways to get medicine to the brain. One idea is to use the nose! Yes, the nose! This method is not invasive and can help the medicine
Liposomes are tiny, fat-based bubbles that scientists use to deliver medicine. They are like tiny balloons made of the same stuff as cell membranes. These balloons can carry drugs inside them. This is helpful because it lets doctors send medicine exactly where it needs to go in the body. Making the
Recent findings have shown a surprising tie between blood sugar and the health of the aorta, the main blood vessel from the heart.

Lupus nephritis (LN) is a serious condition where lupus affects the kidneys. Doctors often use a medicine called prednisone to help. But, they're not sure if a higher starting dose works better than a lower one. A recent study looked at this question. It compared two groups of LN patients. One grou
Small blood vessel replacements made from a material called ePTFE are widely used in hospitals. However, these grafts often fail because they don't heal well inside the body. The surface of ePTFE is very water-repellent, which makes it hard for the body to grow a protective layer of cells on it. Sc
