In a significant advance in tissue engineering, a 3D-printed cornea has been successfully transplanted into a legally blind patient for the first time, restoring their vision. The procedure took place at the Rambam Eye Institute in Haifa, Israel, with regenerative medicine company Precise Bio. Completed in late October, the transplant used a cornea created entirely […]

The concept of a condom that changes color to detect sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has gone viral on social media, but it is still only theoretical. The project, known as “S.T.EYE,” was introduced in 2015 by students in the United Kingdom at a technology innovation competition. Despite the buzz around its futuristic idea, the condom

Although we mark time with yearly birthdays—our chronological age—it doesn’t always reflect how quickly our bodies are aging biologically. Researchers have now identified ten blood-based markers that can reveal this gap. While several methods already exist to estimate biological age, scientists are still seeking tests that are more accurate and easier to perform. A biomarker-based
Your blood may reveal ten hidden signs of accelerated aging Read More »
Scientists have created infrared contact lenses that reportedly enable people to see in the dark — and even more surprisingly, while their eyes are closed. The University of Science and Technology of China team created wearable lenses with flexible polymers and nanoparticles that enable night vision without goggles. The findings were published on May 22

Next time you’re scrolling on your phone, pause to appreciate what’s happening: that simple motion relies on the precise coordination of 34 muscles, 27 joints, and more than 100 tendons and ligaments in your hand. Our hands are, in fact, the most dexterous parts of the body, and replicating their subtle, complex movements has long
The wristband allows users to control a robotic hand using their own movements Read More »
Even before they can walk or speak clearly, children begin to show a surprising ability to deceive. This finding challenges the long-held belief that lying requires advanced language skills. The study, published on March 5 in Cognitive Development, examined children from over 750 families worldwide. It found that around 25% of babies show an understanding
A new study reveals that even babies as young as one year old are capable of lying Read More »
A new study suggests that particles from Earth’s atmosphere have been swept into space by solar wind and deposited on the Moon for billions of years, becoming mixed into its soil. This finding helps explain a long-standing mystery dating back to the Apollo missions, which returned lunar samples containing traces of water, carbon dioxide, helium,
Astronomers say the Moon is absorbing Earth’s atmospheric molecules Read More »
Millions of people experience a heart rhythm disorder called atrial fibrillation, which makes the heart’s upper chambers, or atria, beat irregularly instead of in a steady, coordinated pattern. For some, symptoms are mild, including palpitations, fatigue, or shortness of breath. However, the most serious risk is a stroke. Inside the heart lies a small pouch
Scientists Suggest Injecting Magnetic Fluid Into the Heart Could Help Prevent Strokes Read More »
A research team from Fraunhofer HNFIZ has introduced a new evaluation model that ranks humanoid robots across five levels of technical capability. It also categorizes applications by the abilities they require, enabling easier comparison between humanoids, helping match the right robot to each use case, and identifying gaps in current technology development. Amid a growing
A five-tier system rates humanoid robots by mobility, manipulation, and cognition Read More »
For many years, the idea of controlling machines with the mind was confined to science fiction. Now, it is starting to become a reality. Researchers and governments are investing heavily in technology that enables a direct connection between the human brain and electronic systems. Recent clinical trials show rapid progress, and experts suggest that real-world
Researchers speed up the testing of mind-reading technology Read More »
