Donald Trump, the former U. S. president, recently found himself in a heated exchange with a major news outlet over a report about his health. The New York Times published a story highlighting signs of fatigue in Trump, including instances where he appeared to doze off during public events. The report also noted a significant reduction in his schedule compared to his...
In a bizarre turn of events, a man from Borgo Virgilio, near Mantua, Italy, is under investigation for a peculiar crime. He allegedly dressed up as his deceased mother to collect her pension. This isn't just a case of identity theft; it involves hiding a body and deceiving authorities. The man, a 56-year-old unemployed nurse, reportedly hid his mother's body in his ...
Fixing damaged joints is tough because they are made of different types of tissues. Think of it like building a bridge between two different materials. Scientists are working on special structures called bionic gradient scaffolds. These are like tiny, 3D bridges that help new tissue grow where it's needed. These scaffolds are designed to mimic the natural gradients ...
Zach Bryan, a Grammy-winning singer, is set to perform at LSU's Tiger Stadium on March 28. This event is part of a new series called "Death Valley Live, " which aims to bring big-name artists to the stadium. The last concert at Tiger Stadium was in 2022, when Garth Brooks drew a massive crowd of over 100, 000 people. The "Death Valley Live" series is a collaboration...
Scientists have created a clever tool to help repair heart valves in people with diabetes. This tool is a special kind of scaffold that mimics how the body naturally heals itself. The scaffold is made with tiny particles of iridium and ruthenium, which work together to balance out harmful chemicals in the body. When someone has diabetes, their body doesn't heal as w...
Ever wondered how your brain handles learning new skills and remembering facts at the same time? Scientists dove into this mystery by studying how learning words affects the way we adapt to physical tasks. They gathered a group of 32 people and had them perform a reaching task while exposed to a force field. This task was designed to mimic real-life situations where...
A significant breakthrough has occurred in the field of bioengineering. For the first time, scientists have created a realistic model of human bone marrow using only human cells. This achievement could revolutionize research, particularly in areas like blood cancer studies and drug testing, by reducing the need for animal models. The bone marrow, often called the bo...
Vicarious Surgical, a company shaking up the world of robotic surgery, is set to shine at the Piper Sandler 37th Annual Healthcare Conference. This isn't just any old tech company; they're on a mission to make surgeries better, faster, and cheaper. How? By using robots that mimic human movements to perform minimally invasive surgeries. Pretty cool, right? The big ev...
Creating new drugs is tough and expensive. Right now, scientists use flat cells or animals to test drugs, but these methods don't always work well for humans. That's where new tech comes in: tiny, 3D versions of human organs, called organoids, and special chips that mimic how organs work. These tools could make drug testing better, safer, and faster. Organoids are l...
The Analogue 3D is a sleek, modern solution for playing original Nintendo 64 games on today's TVs. It's designed to fix the blurry, distorted images that often appear when connecting an old N64 to a new flat-screen TV. The device uses advanced FPGA technology to accurately mimic the N64's hardware, providing a crisp and clear gaming experience. The Analogue 3D stand...
