Imagine a world where your clothes can monitor your health and movements without needing a power source. Sounds like science fiction, right? Well, scientists have taken a big step towards making this a reality. They've created a new type of flexible pressure sensor that doesn't need external power.
Stroke survivors often face a tough time keeping up with their recovery once they leave the hospital. This is where a clever program called START comes in, using a mobile app to help patients continue their journey to recovery. The program begins in the hospital and continues to support patients as
Imagine trying to find a tiny speck of dust in a crowded room. That's similar to what doctors face when looking for small tumors in brain scans. Usually, they use a double dose of a special dye to make tumors stand out more clearly. But, this dye has some drawbacks. It can be harmful to patients and
Windows are more than just a way to see outside. Imagine if they could also keep your room cool and save energy. Scientists have made a smart film for windows that does just that. It's not your typical window film. This one is special because it lets natural light in while blocking out harmful UV an
Imagine trying to use a map from the 1950s to navigate a city today. It wouldn't work, right? The same goes for health-related quality of life (HRQoL) value sets. These sets help figure out how many quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) people might gain from healthcare. But, many of these value s
Sunlight isn't always our friend. UVB rays can speed up skin aging and even kill skin cells. Scientists are exploring ways to combat this damage. One promising area of research involves something called CM-hUCB-MSC. This is a mouthful, but it's basically stuff from human umbilical cord blood mesench
Nanotechnology, with its tiny but mighty innovations, is making waves in society. It's changing the game in many industries, but it's also facing some big hurdles. One major challenge is understanding how these innovations spread and catch on. This is where the SIR model, originally used to track di
Forensic science has long relied on two key methods: analyzing fingerprints and extracting DNA. Both are crucial in solving crimes. However, getting clear fingerprints and extracting DNA from the same sample can be tough. This is especially true when the fingerprints are not clear enough. In such ca
Water quality is a big deal. It's important for our environment and the systems we build. Alkalinity is a key part of water quality. It's been measured in many ways, from old-school titrations to fancy spectrophotometric and electrochemical methods. Each has its pros and cons. But what if there was
Finding the perfect tool to help someone with a disability can be a daunting task. There are countless options available, and it can be overwhelming to sift through them all. This is where artificial intelligence (AI) steps in. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way assistive technology (AT)
