A spinout company from the University of Bristol, Impulsonics is developing a unique biotech platform for cell culture automation by making use of acoustic manipulation to help automate a number of the processes for scientists which are currently time-consuming and expensive.

A study has found that low-income Hispanic and Latine adults living in the U.S. became more interested in wearable health-monitoring devices post Covid-19. Expensive healthcare and distrust of the existing health system have led these communities to rely on wearable health monitoring devices.

You hear a phone ring or a dog bark. Is it yours or someone else’s? You hear footsteps in the night — is it your child, or an intruder? Friend or foe? The decision you make will determine what action you take next. Researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation have shed light on what might be going on in our brains during moments like these.

A new computer algorithm has been developed which can be applied to Earth System Models – complex computer models which describe Earth processes and how they interact – to drastically reduce spin-up time. These models are critical for predicting future climate change.

Researchers have developed a new stretchable e-skin that could help robots achieve human-level sensitivity. This solution opens new possibilities for the robots to perform tasks that require a great deal of precision and control of force.

Researchers from Harvard and Google have co-created the most detailed 3D reconstruction of human brain tissue to date. This tiny slice of the temporal cortex, merely the size of half a rice grain, reveals an astonishingly detailed map .

Scientists have innovated a sustainable method to create electrochemical sensors by laser printing on fallen tree leaves. This technique, which transforms leaf cellulose into functional graphite sensors through pyrolysis, has proven effective in detecting substances like dopamine and paracetamol.

Artificial intelligence and machine learning are becoming more and more relevant in everyday life — and the same goes for chemistry. Organic chemists, for example, are interested in how machine learning can help discover and synthesise new molecules that are effective against diseases or are useful in other ways.

Researchers have developed a new technology that makes use of a smartphone to detect heart failure as well as analyze heart movement. The technology could revolutionize the manner in which healthcare professionals detect heart failure.

A study has revealed that air pollution plays a vital role in the mental well-being of a person. Depression and stress can lead to increased risk of death by heart disease.
