Algorithm targets tumor’s weakness to treat cancer
The way tumor cells allow their uncontrolled growth is also a weakness that can be harnessed to treat cancer, a study with mice shows.
Math could help crack forensic genetic cases 10x faster
Solving crimes with forensic genetic genealogy is slow and complicated. A new mathematical analysis could crack cases 10 times faster.
System shaves 75% off electric vehicle battery test time
“The goal is to design a better battery and, traditionally, the industry has tried to do that using trial and error testing.” New work may speed things up.
‘Exomuscle’ boosts upper body strength and endurance
A wearable exomuscle that serves as an extra layer of muscles could one day increase upper body strength and endurance of people with restricted mobility.
Method lets humans help robots ‘see’ to get around stuff
Just like us, robots can’t see through walls. A new method helps humans help them “see” where they’re going.
New method makes traffic prediction faster
A new model shows that traffic forecasting doesn’t have to be perfect to be efficient. A “good enough” solution works just fine.
Magnets could guide tiny needle through the body during surgery
A new untethered magnetic needle may one day be able to tap through tissue to perform less invasive, more precise surgery,
Algorithm uses brain ‘fingerprints’ to detect autism
Early, definitive detection of autism icould lead to timelier interventions and better outcomes. Brain “fingerprints” get researchers a step closer.
