The Algorithm That Automatically Detects Polyps in Images from Camera Pills
Analyzing the footage from camera pills is a time-consuming task for medical professionals. Now computer scientists are attempting to automate the process.
First Quantum-Enhanced Images of a Living Cell
Biologists have used "squeezed light" to create the first images of a living cell that beat the diffraction limit
The Cause of High Blood Pressure Revealed By Computer Modelling
Computer simulations show that high blood pressure can be entirely explained by arterial stiffening as we age, say researchers
Participants in Personal Genome Project Identified by Privacy Experts
Privacy experts have identified participants in the Personal Genome Project using "de-identified" data.
Carbon Nanotube Sensor Detects Glucose in Saliva
Painful finger-prick blood tests for diabetics could become a thing of the past, say physicists who have built a sensor that measures glucose in saliva
Brinicles and the Origin of Life
Extraordinary tubes of ice that grow down into the ocean from ice sheets could be as significant for the origin of life as hydrothermal vents, say chemists
Network Theory Approach Reveals Altitude Sickness to be Two Different Diseases
When the symptoms of altitude sickness are treated as a network, two distinct clinical syndromes emerge, say physicians.
The Rare Disease Search Engine That Outperforms Google
A powerful new search engine designed to help diagnose rare diseases could prove a boon for both medics and the public
Experiments on Cadavers Settle 100 Year-Old Puzzle Over Human Skin Strength
Langer lines map out the pattern of forces within the skin but nobody knew what caused them. Until now.
