5G means fifth-generation cellular network technology, and the technology allows wireless communication. For example, from your cellphone to a cell tower, which conducts it to the internet. 5G is a network service offered by telecommunications providers and is not the exact same thing as the 5 GHz band on your Wi-Fi router.5G presents an...

This size places it in an exclusive club:...
A 2 mm by 2 mm integrated photonic chip developed by Jaime Cardenas, assistant professor of optics, and PhD student Meiting Song (lead author) will make interferometers—and therefore precision optics—even more powerful. Potential applications include more sensitive devices for measuring tiny flaws on mirrors, or dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere, and ultimately, quantum...

A human embryo in the lab at 9 days after fertilisation. The hypoblast (a group of cells outside the main embryo) sends a message to the embryo that initiates the development of the head-to-tail body axis. Using immunofluorescence analysis, the hypoblast is shown in green – these cells are asymmetrically distributed. A cavity is...
In accordance to a survey, disasters brought on by climate change increase the vulnerability of women and girls since crucial health services, like family planning, are neglected during such times.According to a report by the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), situations like violent storms prevent access to sexual and reproductive health care. In turn,...
Scientists have discovered more proof that exercising while pregnant benefits both the mother and the unborn child.According to a study presented today (Sunday) at the "virtual" European Respiratory Society International Congress, Dr. Hrefna Katrin Gudmundsdottir asserted that a study of 814 infants had for the first time established a link between infants born to...
Recent research reveals evidence that nursing mothers do not transmit COVID through breastmilk.A research study conducted by scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center (URMC)– in partnership with numerous other universities– implies that nursing females with COVID-19 do not transfer the SARS-CoV-2 virus with their milk. However, they do give milk-borne antibodies that...
