Ever imagined wearing glasses that blend the real and digital worlds seamlessly? NVIDIA just took a big step in that direction by filing a patent for augmented reality (AR) glasses. These aren't your average sunglasses—they're designed to be lightweight and power-efficient while offering top-notch v
Do you wear a smartwatch or use a health app? If so, you might be one of the many people using tech to track your health. But does all this tech really help us? Dr. Dave Rabin, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist, has a different take. He thinks we're missing the bigger picture. He says unprocessed tr
Abdominal hernia repair is a common surgery where a mesh is often used to hold back damaged tissues and stop the hernia from coming back. The problem? Over half of patients face complications like adhesions and infections, leading to pain and further surgeries. So, what's the solution? A new kind of
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repairs can be tricky because the body's own fluids can eat away at the new tissue, causing it to fail and make the joint worse.

Scientists have discovered a new way to make genome editing more efficient in rice. A protein called ScCas9, which comes from bacteria, can recognize a wider range of targets in the DNA than the commonly used protein, SpCas9. However, both ScCas9 and its improved version, Sc++, still don't work very
Ever wondered how tiny particles can heal big problems? Nanotechnology is doing just that for eye injuries caused by chemicals. These injuries can be serious, leading to long-term vision issues. The first step in treatment is to rinse the eye thoroughly. After that, doctors use a mix of biological a
