What if there were a wearable fitness device that could monitor your blood pressure continuously, 24 hours a day?
Unfortunately, blood pressure (BP) measurements currently require the use of a cuff that temporarily stops blood flow. So a wearable BP...
New research shows that artificial intelligence (AI) can help scientists in fields such as oncology and regenerative medicine control complex biological systems to reach new and previously unachievable outcomes. At Tufts University, treating frog embryos with three reagents selected...
PEG-PDI, which incorporates a compound long used as a red dye, changes to greenish-blue with the addition of potassium superoxide as it converts the superoxide to dioxygen. Adding more further quenches the reactive oxygen species superoxide, turning the solution...
Early prototype of 'smart glasses' with liquid-based lenses that can automatically adjust the focus on what a person is seeing, whether it is far away or close up. The lenses are placed in battery-powered frames that can automatically adjust...
Images of the electron trap architecture. Top: Schematic representation of the experiment. Current of surface electrons, induced by ac voltage applied to the electrode underneath Reservoir 1, flows between Reservoirs 1 and 4, as shown by the red arrow....

The popular Pattern Lock system used to secure millions of Android phones can be cracked within just five attempts – and more complicated patterns are the easiest to crack, security experts reveal.
Pattern Lock is a security measure...
