The Blood Robots That Sound Like Pure Science Fiction
Swiss scientists at ETH Zurich have developed tiny robots that can swim through your bloodstream and navigate directly to your brain to fight strokes, delivering medication exactly where it’s needed without flooding your entire body with high doses that cause dangerous side effects. The microscopic marvel consists of a spherical gel capsule embedded with medication […]
How One Device Is Solving The Water Crisis With Air
In Star Wars, moisture vaporators towered over the desert planet Tatooine, pulling water from thin air to sustain life in an unforgiving landscape. Today, that science fiction has become reality through atmospheric water generators that are transforming invisible vapor into safe drinking water for communities facing critical shortages. Companies like Aquaria Technologies and the Moses […]
The Anti Aging Secret Hiding In Language
Scientists analyzing data from more than 86,000 people across 27 European countries have discovered something remarkable: speaking two or more languages is associated with significantly reduced aging, and the effect gets stronger with each additional language you learn. People who use only one language were approximately twice as likely to experience accelerated aging, while multilingual […]
The Gaming Inspired Keyboard Helping Parkinson’s Patients Type Again
An innovative smart keyboard designed to dramatically improve typing ability for people living with Parkinson’s disease has been named a Global Winner of the prestigious 2025 James Dyson Award. The groundbreaking invention called OnCue was created by Italian product designer Alessandra Galli as a thesis project at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, and […]
Born Without Brain And Celebrating A Milestone Birthday
Alex Simpson of Omaha, Nebraska, just celebrated her 20th birthday, defying every medical prediction made when she was born with hydranencephaly, a devastating condition that left her with almost no brain. Doctors told her parents Shawn and Lorena that their newborn daughter would likely not survive past age four, as the rare disorder affects only […]
MIT Engineers Just Changed The Future Of Heart Attacks
MIT engineers have created a flexible drug delivery patch that could transform recovery for heart attack survivors, offering hope to millions who face permanent heart damage. The innovative patch can be placed directly on the heart during surgery and releases three different medications on a carefully programmed schedule over two weeks. In studies with rats, […]
Major Breakthrough Against The World’s Deadliest Infectious Disease
MIT biological engineers have identified several promising vaccine targets that could finally provide better protection against tuberculosis, the world’s deadliest infectious disease that kills more than 1 million people every year. The only current vaccine for TB, called BCG, was developed over 100 years ago from a weakened cow bacterium and poorly protects adults against […]
Scientists Discover DNA Can Do Something Nobody Ever Imagined
Scientists at the National University of Singapore have discovered that DNA can do far more than just carry genetic information. Researchers found that specific regions of DNA called phosphates act like tiny hands that guide chemical reactions to create the correct mirror image form of drug molecules, solving a major challenge in pharmaceutical production. Many […]
Actor Calls Kidney Donation To Stranger A NO BRAINER
Oscar nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg revealed live on the TODAY show that he is donating one of his kidneys to a complete stranger in mid December, calling the decision a no brainer for anyone with the time and inclination. The 42 year old star of The Social Network and Now You See Me has always […]
This Drug Enters Cancer Cells 12.5x Faster With NO Side Effects
Researchers at Northwestern University have completely reimagined a classic chemotherapy drug using nanotechnology, transforming a weak, poorly soluble compound into a precision cancer therapy that is up to 20,000 times more effective at destroying cancer cells. The scientists created the drug entirely from scratch as a spherical nucleic acid, a nanoscale structure that incorporates the […]
