Heart of a Machine, Hope for Humanity: Could Robo-Ventricle Save Lives?
MIT engineers have pulled off a medical marvel: creating a robotic replica of the human heart’s right ventricle! This “robot-ventricle” mimics the real thing, beating and pumping just like a living heart. It’s not just a cool party trick, though. This incredible model could revolutionize how we study and treat heart disease. Made with real […]
AI-powered brain surgery: A new tool that could revolutionize how we treat brain cancer.
Scientists have developed an AI tool that can rapidly decode a brain tumour’s DNA to determine its molecular identity during surgery. This information can help surgeons decide how much brain tissue to remove and whether to place tumor-killing drugs directly into the brain. Share via: Facebook X (Twitter) LinkedIn More
From Molecules to Life: Integrating Chemical Pathways for Life’s Genesis
Researchers have successfully replicated a chemical reaction that might have initiated life on Earth. The focus of the study was on the formation of ribonucleotides, the building blocks of RNA, a crucial molecule in life’s early stages. The scientists integrated autocatalysis, a process where chemicals encourage the same reaction to happen again, into the well-known […]
