Smartphone app developed to detect heart disease

May 31, 2018 -

When the arteries are stiff, they become less elastic and more rigid. In turn, this causes increases in blood and pulse pressure. Apart from being a cardiovascular disease risk factor, it is also linked to other health problems, such as diabetes and renal failure.

Available measurement methods for determining arterial stiffness include the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or the use of tonometry. MRI is costly and often impractical, while tonometry involves two pressure ...

Mobile app records your breathing to detect respiratory disease and monitor lung function

February 08, 2020 -

For the most part, these viruses are only diagnosed when people have started exhibiting symptoms and are already seriously ill. Although there are no treatments available for many of the most virulent strains of these diseases, early detection can sometimes make a difference to how well a patient ultimately recovers.

For people who are worried about detecting respiratory infections as early as possible, or for those who have asthma or struggle with allergies and need ...

Astronomers detect signs of life on Venus

September 16, 2020 -

The gas in question is phosphine, a colorless chemical compound that smells like garlic or decaying fish. It is commonly produced by microorganisms on Earth in the absence of oxygen or by the breakdown of organic matter.

The team detected spectral signatures that are unique to phosphine in the atmosphere of the planet, which is estimated to contain about 20 parts per billion of the gas.

“Phosphine could originate from unknown photochemistry or geochemistry – ...

China now using anal swabs to detect coronavirus

January 28, 2021 -

According to officials in Beijing, sticking a swab up people's anuses is a more accurate way of identifying the presence of Chinese germs than jabbing a nose javelin up people's nostrils.

After being anally swabbed, a nine-year-old boy reportedly tested "positive" for the new highly contagious "strain" of the Chinese virus that was detected in the United Kingdom last month. Now, people all across China are being medically raped in the name of "science."

Signs of alien civilization: Did astronomers detect “technosignatures?”

January 08, 2021 -

Though the researchers are not done with their study, there has been speculation that the signal is a "technosignature" produced by an alien civilization. Proxima Centauri has at least one planet that may be habitable to life, and while mundane explanations are far more likely, the scientists have yet to identify a terrestrial cause such as ground-based equipment or a passing satellite.

"[For] the moment, the only source that we know of is technological," lead investigator ...

UNEXPLAINED: Navy submarines detect fast-moving unidentified vehicles underwater

June 02, 2021 -

Rogan made the disclosure after host Tucker Carlson asked him about a recently released UFO video featuring a dark, spherical object flying off the coast of California near a Navy stealth ship. The craft appeared to have dived into the water and disappeared, with officers speaking in the video saying, "It splashed."

The Department of Defense confirmed that the video was indeed taken by Navy personnel. Investigative filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, who leaked the video online mid-May, ...

Astronomers detect mysterious radio signal coming from neighboring star

January 20, 2021 -

Researchers working on Breakthrough Listen, a project devoted to the search for alien civilizations, detected the signal in April or May this year using the Parkes radio telescope in Australia. They have since been hard at work deciphering its cause. Though it likely has a mundane explanation, the researchers are intrigued about the signal's very peculiar nature.

The beam, which has not been spotted again since its detection, appears to have come from Proxima Centauri. The ...

The plastic-eating superbug: A hospital’s worst nightmare

For decades, Pseudomonas aeruginosa has been a leading cause of fatal hospital-acquired infections, particularly among immunocompromised patients and those with cystic fibrosis. But how does it survive — and thrive — in environments designed to be sterile? The answer lies in its terrifying adaptability. Researchers from Brunel University London discovered that a strain taken ...

China develops a machine learning technology to detect equatorial plasma bubbles

June 30, 2025 -

In a breakthrough for atmospheric science, researchers in China have developed a machine learning system to pinpoint equatorial plasma bubbles—enigmatic disruptions in Earth’s ionosphere that disrupt GPS and radios. These bubbles, described by scientists as “holes in a cheese” in the ionosphere’s plasma layer, form nightly above the equator but are notoriously hard to track. By analyzing shimmering airglow above the clouds, the team’s algorithm offers an ...

Study suggests ants can be trained to detect cancer in urine

Ants and cancer detection

Ants don't have noses, but they use the olfactory receptors on their antennae to find food or sniff out potential mates.

For the study, scientists trained nearly three dozen silky ants (Formica fusca) to use these acute olfactory receptors to find tumors. The research team grafted slices of breast cancer tumors from human samples onto mice and taught 35 silky ants to associate urine from the tumor-bearing rodents with sugar.

When the ...

Researchers develop a unique sensor that can detect counterfeit olive oil

March 19, 2019 -

The two most valuable types of olive oil are "extra virgin" and "protected designation of origin" (PDO). Extra virgin oil is the highest and purest grade of oil. It is made without using any artificial chemicals or refining techniques. PDO, meanwhile, is assigned to high-end agricultural products that are exclusively found in specific regions of Europe. Products with these labels were grown, harvested, and processed using traditional methods found in their home area.

Wearable technology may be able to detect sickness before symptoms appear

November 21, 2018 -

Of particular interest are results from the study that seem to indicate that the biosensor measurements can detect the early onset of an illness, before the symptoms fully develop. One person they monitored for two years experienced four different time periods where his skin temperature and heart rate seemed much higher than normal. During these times, this test subject was also complaining of congestion. Eventually, he was diagnosed with Lyme disease. Grace Peng, Ph.D., and ...

Scientists close to developing a blood test that can detect cancers

August 23, 2018 -

According to Nickolas Papadopoulos, a professor of oncology and pathology at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, the new approach he devised along with his colleagues at the medical school combines two different methods into one test. They have dubbed their new two-in-one test CancerSEEK, and it's designed to detect eight major cancers, namely breast, lung, colon, liver, stomach, ovarian, pancreatic, and esophageal cancer.

These cancers have been chosen primarily ...
