Neuromorphic tactile sensors and haptic displays deliver distributed touch feedback in telepresence
A new approach to telepresence is bringing remote touch closer to reality by combining neuromorphic tactile sensing with a finely distributed haptic display. The system,...
Human-Centered AI Strengthens X-Ray Analysis Through Holistic Self-Supervised Learning
A new study published in Nature Communications presents a human-centric approach to artificial intelligence that could make medical X-ray analysis more reliable, more adaptable and...
Preterm infants on CPAP or high-flow support show comparable mesenteric blood-flow reduction
A study published in Pediatric Research reports that mesenteric blood flow—the circulation supplying the intestine—was similarly compromised in preterm neonates receiving either continuous positive airway...
Network meta-analysis compares local anesthetic techniques for pain relief during newborn circumcision
A new network meta-analysis is putting the pain of neonatal circumcision under an unusually precise scientific lens, comparing the local anesthetic techniques used to protect...
Regional reductions in high-energy phosphorus metabolites characterize cerebellar multiple system atrophy
A distinctive chemical signature in the brain may help explain why some patients with multiple system atrophy develop severe problems with balance, coordination and speech,...
MIT engineers develop improved controller for operating construction excavators
Anyone who has battled an arcade claw machine knows that success depends on more than simply moving a joystick. Players must mentally translate each push...
Colorectal cancer screening may cut mortality by more than 40%
A simple stool test mailed to the home may be associated with a substantially lower risk of dying from colorectal cancer, according to a long-term...
Digital wellness program reduces anxiety, depression among adults with chronic health conditions
An entirely online wellness program combining guided movement, breathing and meditation, coping-skills training, and disease education reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression in adults living...
New Study Charts a Path Toward Democratizing Molecular Innovation
A new perspective published in Science presents a modular strategy that could change how small molecules are designed, assembled, and discovered, while raising urgent questions...
Molecular bypasses boost grass lignin and starch synthesis, aiding evolutionary success
A genetic “shortcut” that helped grasses become some of the most successful plants on Earth may have emerged millions of years before the first wheat...
Brain activity shifts when different generations create together
Loneliness is often described as an absence of social contact, but a new study suggests that the brain may reveal something more precise: how two...
Tandem Quantum-Dot Photodiodes Enable Spectrally Selective 1550-Nanometer LiDAR
Light detection and ranging, or lidar, has become one of the defining technologies of modern sensing. It maps the world by sending out pulses of...
Isoleucine and Valine Fuel Prostate Cancer Progression by Altering Cholesterol Metabolism
A pair of amino acids commonly associated with high-protein diets may be helping prostate tumors acquire the fuel they need to grow, according to a...
JMIR Aging seeks research on invisible monitoring and AI-enabled aging in place
JMIR Publications has announced a new thematic section in its open-access journal JMIR Aging focused on the next generation of ambient intelligence and the emerging...
