Credit: Pixaobay We understand that diets rich in meat aren't environmentally friendly or healthy. How willing are you to adopt a more sustainable eating habit? Would you consider replacing your current choices with select cuts of python meat? A recent study conducted by an international team of researchers explored the viability of commercial-scale python farming and...
Cash cows: Transgenic cattle could boost insulin production and lower its cost. Credit: Pixaobay A recent study reveals that a genetically modified cow has successfully produced milk containing human insulin. This breakthrough suggests a potential solution to ensure sufficient insulin production at a reduced cost for all diabetic patients. Type 1 diabetics,...
Thanks to a collaboration between Figure and OpenAI, the Figure 01 humanoid robot can now converse with people in real-time, and act on requests to do stuffFigure In a recent video release, Figure showcased the initial outcome of its partnership with OpenAI to augment the abilities of humanoid robots. The Figure 01 robot is shown...
The robot is currently connected to an external air pump, but that won't be the case with future iterations University of Southern Denmark Danish researchers have created an origami snake-like robot capable of potentially conducting search and rescue missions at disaster sites or exploring other planets in the future. The robot moves using rectilinear locomotion, mimicking...
A blood-based biomarker can accurately detect if someone has been awake for 24 hoursDepositphotos Healthcare workers, pilots, truck drivers, and shift workers are all likely familiar with the effects of sleep deprivation, which can impair performance, safety, and overall quality of life. Scientists have devised a blood test capable of precisely determining if an individual...

This study is featured in Global Change Biology. Researchers monitored over 5,000 seedlings for eighteen months in North Borneo. They...
Digit is currently being trialed as a way to relieve workers of difficult repetitive tasks, not relieve them of their jobs, says AmazonAgility Robotics Tall, proficient, and resembling insects to some extent, a fleet of Digit robots is currently navigating vacant bins within an Amazon research and development facility. This trial marks the initial phase...
The R3 will be based on the same midsize platform as the R2 but will be smaller and cheaperRivian Rivian announced the launch of the smaller R2 SUV alongside the new R3 and R3X models, unveiling its SUV product roadmap. Built on Rivian's latest midsize platform, these vehicles offer diverse battery options, providing a range...
Timepix3 was originally designed for particle detection for giant accelerators like the one at CERNCERN Transitioning from colossal 26 km (16 miles) particle accelerators to operating rooms for brain surgeries, a particle detector initially engineered by physicists at CERN is now employed by researchers in Germany to enhance the precision and safety of brain tumor...
Replacing standard monotonous hospital alarms with more musical ones may reduce alarm fatigue. Credit: Pixaobay Hospital staff are subjected to approximately 1,000 alarm sounds per shift, contributing to hundreds of preventable deaths. Recent research proposes a solution that not only reduces this sensory overload but also renders essential equipment less bothersome. Anyone who has spent time...
