It is difficult to recognise the early stages of esophageal cancer as it can easily be missed. TU Eindhoven has therefore been working with the Catharina Hospital in Eindhoven to develop a method to enable a computer to scan esophagus…

Researchers in the Netherlands have coupled machine learning methods with a special MRI technique that measures the perfusion, or tissue absorption rate, of blood throughout the brain to detect early forms of dementia, such as mild…

A microfluidic device that tests the effects of electric fields on cancer cells has been developed by researchers at MIT's research center in Singapore. They observed that a range of low-intensity, middle-frequency electric fields…

DNA origami, a fast and simple way to assemble DNA into potentially useful structures, is finally coming into its own, ten years after its introduction. In a recent paper in Journal of the American Chemical Society, a team of researchers…

Light-powered molecular motors that repetitively bend and unbend, bringing us closer to molecular robots and have been developed by scientists at Hokkaido University. Researchers are working on mimicking cellular systems to develop…

Researchers from Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e) and the Humboldt University in Berlin present this material; Place this thin layer of plastic in the sun and it begins to oscillate irregularly all by itself. The first that moves…
