Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular type of rechargeable battery in use today. They power many of the devices we rely on daily, including mobile phones and electric vehicles. These batteries are lightweight,
A low-energy dynamical approach could give companion AI the gift of long-term relational memory - especially valuable for eldercare.
Artificial Intelligence(AI) is reshaping the future of healthcare. The US and UK healthcare systems started to adopt tools like AI Scribe and conversational chatbots, as they claimed to outperform clinicians in diagnostics. Survey data from over 100 physicians polled by Fierce Healthcare and Sermo indicate that many doctors are using general-purpose LLMs for clinical tasks.
Depression has affected humans for hundreds of years. Symptoms can include persistent feelings of sadness, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and a loss of interest in social activities. Science doesn’t yet fully understand the causes and effects, but here’s what we do know: the brain is a powerful organ, and it is capable of change. Made up of a wide network of connections, it relies on chemicals, electrical impulses, and billions of neurons. Let’s explore how brain science
Biologics have transformed the management of chronic and life-threatening diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic conditions. However, their complexity, high production costs, and limited affordability continue to challenge healthcare systems worldwide.
Antibiotic resistance could kill 10 million annually by 2050. Discover how AI found Halicin, a molecule that kills superbugs humans couldn't defeat.
Title 21 Part 820 of the Code Of Federal Regulations (CFR) details the requirements for the design and production of medical devices. These strict, comprehensive requirements are in place for good reason, we want these devices to work.
Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).
This architecture is essential for shielding neurons from toxins, pathogens, and fluctuations in the bloodstream, but it also creates a devastating bottleneck for modern medicine. More than 98% of small-molecule drugs and nearly all large biological therapeutics fail to cross the BBB in meaningful amounts, leaving many promising treatments for neurodegenerative disorders, brain tumors, and inflammatory diseases stranded in the circulation.
We have all witnessed the physiological "decoupling" that occurs late in a race, where at mile 20 of a marathon, a pace that felt like a metabolic steady-state two hours ago suddenly demands an all-out effort.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disorder with classic clinical symptoms such as dementia, cognitive decline, and behavioural changes, particularly in the ageing population.
Discover how AI surveillance impacts psychological safety in the workplace and why constant monitoring might be killing your team's innovation.
Professional cycling is a sport defined by marginal gains. At the highest levels of competition, the difference between victory and the middle of the pack can be measured in seconds, watts, or subtle physiological advantages accumulated over months of preparation.
Scientists are closer than ever to detecting life beyond Earth. From Mars to distant exoplanets, modern astronomy is transforming the search for alien life.
See what kidney function tests measure, including creatinine, eGFR, and urinalysis. Discover how these tests help detect kidney disease and monitor kidney health.
Vancomycin is an essential glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat life-threatening infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It functions by inhibiting bacterial cell-wall synthesis and is still the most potent drug to be used when others fail (Patel, Preuss, & Bernice, 2023).
HIV testing is the process of determining whether a person has been infected with human immunodeficiency virus. Depending on the test, HIV testing can detect antibodies produced by the immune system, the HIV p24 antigen, or HIV RNA. Different tests have different detection window periods, and a reactive screening result requires appropriate follow-up testing before an HIV diagnosis is established.
