Hyperventilation, a common practice among freedivers before dives, can lead to dangerous outcomes like hypoxic syncope or blackouts. Currently, there's no effective way to monitor this potentially risky behavior. A recent study has explored a new approach using force sensor technology. The idea is t
Imagine a TV that can produce colors more efficiently and brightly than ever before. That's what Hisense is promising with its new TriChroma LED technology, which was showcased at CES 2025. Unlike traditional LED TVs that use white or blue backlights filtered into colors, TriChroma LED TVs generate
Keeping an eye on blood flow in artificial blood vessels is super important for spotting problems early. Scientists have created smart vascular grafts, or SVGs, that use tiny, flexible electronics to watch blood flow constantly. But these grafts face challenges like fitting well with the body and gi
Malaria is a major global issue, particularly in specific regions. The traditional method of diagnosing it involves examining blood samples under a microscope. This process requires a lab, trained personnel, and special equipment, making it time-consuming and reliant on the technician's expertise. A
Have you ever wondered how the gut bugs we carry around might be talking to our bodies? Scientists found that tiny, nanoscale packets called bacterial extracellular vesicles (bEVs) can signal pain hypersensitivity. They studied mice with diet-induced obesity (DIO) and found these bEVs in their poop.
Have you ever wondered how spiders detect smells? Researchers have found that male spiders use tiny hairs on their legs to smell. These hairs, called wall-pore sensilla, act like a nose. They help spiders find mates by detecting special scents called pheromones. Female spiders release these scents t
When plants like Arabidopsis encounter L-glutamate at their root tips, it causes significant changes in their root structure. But how they sense this amino acid is a mystery. Scientists know that GLUTAMATE RECEPTOR-LIKE (GLR) proteins act as channels that let calcium in when they detect amino acids,
Have you ever wondered how we can spot chemicals in our environment? Enter electrochemical sensors! These clever gadgets use electricity to identify specific substances, playing a crucial role in healthcare and environmental protection. But how are these sensors made? Two common methods are screen-p
Ever heard of tiny needles that don't hurt? Meet microneedles, or MNs, the future of medicine. These minuscule tools are changing the game in drug delivery and diagnostic monitoring. Unlike traditional needles, MNs are designed to be painless and customizable. To understand why they're so special, l
Author Neil Gaiman has strongly denied allegations of sexual assault and abuse made by several women. These claims were reported in a recent article by New York Magazine. Gaiman posted a statement on his website, clearly stating, "I have never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone. "
