Credit: Derya Ozdemir As the COVID-19 cases increase across the globe as a result of the Delta variant, liquid oxygen (LOX), which hospitals employ to treat patients, remains in short supply. LOX is getting hard to find as demand increases, and COVID-19 patients...
Amyloid plaques are aggregates of misfolded proteins that form in the spaces between nerve cells. Credit: Juan Gaertner New photo-oxygenation catalyst targets amyloid structure, enlists brain immune system cells. A small, light-activated molecule lately evaluated in mice corresponds to a brand-new strategy to eliminating clumps of amyloid protein located in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients....
Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge and 20 other hospitals worldwide and healthcare technology leader NVIDIA have utilized artificial intelligence (AI) to anticipate Covid patients' oxygen needs on a global scale. The pandemic triggered the research study and set out to develop an AI tool to forecast how much additional oxygen a Covid-19 patient may require in...
Credit: Pixabay That refreshing sensation you experience when breathing in fresh air in nature might involve more than just the absence of pollution. While we typically associate nutrients with our diet, a closer examination of scientific studies reveals compelling evidence that humans can also absorb certain nutrients directly from the air. In a recent perspective article in...
The new solar still has been tested in real world settings Canadian scientists have developed an innovative device that can purify a gallon of water per day for just a few cents. Even better, this sustainable purifier is made from recycled tires and can also generate small amounts of electricity. Innovative Solar Still Turns Undrinkable Water...
The PongBot Pace S Pro on the left features more than double the drills of the Pace S, shown on the rightPongBot A cutting-edge robotic tennis partner, PongBot, has surpassed $1.7 million on Kickstarter, with weeks left for additional backers. PongBot isn’t your average ball-serving machine; it's designed to revolutionize tennis practice with AI-driven features...

However, the loss of certain species won’t just endanger local forests; it will threaten entire ecosystems, as recent research indicates. In 2021, a global assessment titled "State...
Rendering of what a watery Mars may have looked likeNASA Data gathered by NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars is revealing new information about how the Red Planet became uninhabitable in the distant past, attributed to a changing climate that led to the evaporation of surface water or its entrapment as ice. Not too long ago, the...
Credit: Pixabay The most probable method for detecting life on a distant exoplanet is by identifying a biosignature. This involves analyzing the atmospheric spectra of the planet to find the distinctive spectral pattern of a molecule that can only be produced through biological activity. Although it seems straightforward, detecting life on exoplanets is far from simple....
Scientists use a blueprint of photosynthesis to produce greener, renewable productsMcGill University Drawing inspiration from natural photosynthesis, scientists have developed a technique that uses sunlight to convert two major greenhouse gases into valuable chemicals for fuel and industrial applications. Researchers from McGill University have created a novel process called photo-driven oxygen-atom-grafting. This method employs gold,...
