Wearable tech might just be the game-changer we need for tracking medication adherence. You know how it is—people often forget to take their meds, and doctors usually have to rely on patients' own reports, which aren't always accurate. But what if there was a better way? Enter wearable devices. The
In small towns across China, wastewater treatment plants are having a tough time. These plants use special ponds called ecological combination ponds (ECPs) to clean water. But when the water coming in changes a lot, it's hard to adjust the settings. This leads to too much air being pumped in and too
In the vast ocean, tiny creatures called copepods are the unsung heroes of the food chain. These little guys are like the ocean's farmers, providing food for bigger creatures. But their lives are not easy, especially in estuaries where the water can get super salty. Scientists wanted to see how the

Ever wondered why your brain sometimes misses things when they happen too close together? Scientists have been studying this phenomenon, known as the attentional blink, for a while. It turns out, this isn't just one simple process. Instead, it's made up of different parts that work together. Resear
Salt in our water might be more harmful than we think. Recent studies show a link between salty drinking water and high blood pressure. This is a big deal because many people don't even realize their water might be salty. High blood pressure can lead to serious health problems. It's not just about t
Alzheimer's disease is a growing concern, especially as people live longer. One key to fighting it is catching it early. That's where the amyloid beta 42/40 ratio comes in. This ratio, which compares two types of amyloid beta proteins, can signal Alzheimer's before serious symptoms show up. But how
Mpox is a viral infection that shares symptoms with smallpox. One crucial way to track how the disease is progressing is by counting the number of skin lesions that appear. This task is usually done by hand, which can be time-consuming and prone to mistakes. This is where technology steps in to offe
In South-East Delhi, a significant number of adults are taking antibiotics without a doctor's prescription. This practice, known as self-medication with antibiotics (SMA), is a major concern. It can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), making treatments less effective and increasing healthcare co
Cancer treatment is tricky. Doctors struggle with seeing deep into tissues. They also have trouble getting clear, real-time pictures of tumors as they change during treatment. Traditional imaging methods just don't cut it. They lack the detail and speed needed to track the dynamic tumor environm
