World’s first approval granted for an implant that restores age-related vision

Biotechnology, Medicine /

Science Corporation has become the first company to receive European approval for an implant that partially restores vision in people with age-related blindness. The CE mark allows the device to be marketed in the EU and UK. Called PRIMA, the implant is intended for patients with geographic atrophy, the advanced stage of dry age-related macular […]

MIT scientists created lab-grown artificial blood vessels using magnets

Biotechnology, Medicine /

Scientists hope to one day replace damaged body parts with lab-made alternatives, but recreating complex tissues and organs remains challenging. Blood vessel networks are particularly difficult to reproduce because tiny capillaries can be microscopic, with some measuring just 0.005 millimeters wide and allowing blood cells to pass through one at a time. MIT Creates More

Researchers Uncover Bacteria That Consume Uranium in an Old Soviet Mine

Reusability, Space & Environment /

One of the world’s largest uranium mining operations, the Wismut GmbH Schlema-Alberoda mine in the former Soviet-controlled East Germany, left a lasting environmental burden after decades of extraction. However, scientists have discovered that the contaminated water filling the abandoned mine may contain a natural answer to the pollution problem. Microorganisms that have adapted to the

Japanese researchers develop AI that detects rare diseases from hand photos

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

Researchers at Kobe University in Japan have created an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can detect acromegaly, a rare hormonal disorder, using only photos of the back of a person’s hand and a clenched fist. By avoiding facial images, the system protects patient privacy while maintaining a high level of diagnostic accuracy. Acromegaly is a

Chinese Researchers Create First AI Auditory Interface

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

A group of researchers from Nankai University in China has introduced the world’s first biomimetic neuromorphic auditory interface, an innovative technology aimed at replicating the role of the auditory nerve. The breakthrough could transform approaches to treating sensorineural hearing loss resulting from damage to the inner ear—especially the cochlea—or injury to the auditory nerve, addressing

New Simulations Reveal Earth’s Strongest Ocean Current

Aerospace, Space & Environment /

New climate simulations suggest that the world’s most powerful ocean current emerged only after a unique combination of geological and atmospheric changes came together, rather than forming suddenly. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is the strongest ocean current on Earth, flowing clockwise around Antarctica. About five times more powerful than the Gulf Stream, it links

AI basketball trainer with smart precision and vision to elevate your game

Artificial Intelligence, Tech /

Traditional basketball shooting machines launch balls at different angles to simulate game situations. However, these systems often rely on pre-programmed patterns, training mechanics rather than real-time decision-making. Their limited computer vision also struggles to adapt to real-world environments, such as changing outdoor lighting or the varying ceiling heights found in different indoor gyms. AI-Powered Performance
