An Addenbrooke's team is involved in a pioneering clinical trial, growing red blood cells in a lab and tranfusing them into another person. Microscope image of a RESTORE laboratory grown young red blood cell. Share this content It's hoped the RESTORE trial will help revolutionise treatment for people where it’s almost impossible to find matching blood. Tiny amounts, equivalent to a couple of spoonfuls, are being tested to see how it performs inside the body. In the tr...

AttnGan is an algorithm that visualizes text input. It was developed by Microsoft's Deep Learning Technology Center, and while the project has a noble goal with its text-visualization algorithm, the results are often just plain bizarre. AttnGAN TRANS architecture has three variants AttnGAN BERT, AttnGAN XL and AttnGAN GPT.

Overview For both biomedical engineering and fundamental biological studies, electronic devices constitute one of the most important tool-sets. In order to address more complicated health conditions and diseases, a new generation of electronics that can be seamlessly merged with human bodies/tissues to realize long-term stable and independent operations is highly desired, which requires both biomechanically-adaptive formfactors (i.e. soft and stretchable) and biomechanically-powered energy s...

Intel has developed a technology that can successfully distinguish between real videos and deepfakes in real-time using skin analysis. The FakeCatcher deepfake detector works by analysing ‘blood flow’ in video pixels to determine a video’s authenticity in milliseconds. When our hearts pump blood, our veins change colour. These blood flow signals are collected from all over the face and algorithms translate these signals into maps. ‘Then, using deep learning, it can instantly detect whe...

The new speakers come in a passport-like size (150mm x 90mm) that measures just 2.5mm thick, or the equivalent of two coins stacked together, and weighs in at a svelte 40g. This makes it just 70% lighter and 90% thinner than a conventional car speaker. It leverages film-type exciter technology. It works by vibrating off display panels and various materials inside the car body to produce rich, 3D immersive sound experiences. These LG vibrating speakers turn car dashboards and headrests...

Researchers at Penn State have successfully 3D bioprinted breast cancer tumors and treated them in a breakthrough study to better understand the disease that is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. A scientific first, the achievement lays the foundation for precision fabrication of tumor models. The advancement will enable future study and development of anticancer therapies without the use of "in vivo" — or "in animal" — experimentation. “This will help us understand how hum...

Homes from haus.me are marketed as fully-sustainable smart homes that can be used either in a typical residential setting and connected to traditional utilities or upgraded and used as a self-sustaining, off-grid home. Haus.me offers autonomous intelligent manufactured houses, delivered ready-to-go. Core tech: polymer GFRP composites, 3D printing, energy efficiency, self-sustainability, zero carbon emis...

Floating solar panels, also known as floating photovoltaic (FPV) or photovoltaics, are solar panels mounted on structures that float on bodies of water like water reservoirs, aqua farms, and any human-made water bodies. Floating solar panel structure shades the body of water and reduces evaporation from these ponds, reservoirs, and lakes. This is a particularly useful benefit in areas susceptible to drought, as water loss to evaporation can add up over time and contribute to a shortage. ...

Food and Drug Administration for the first time cleared a lab-grown meat product developed by a start-up 'Upside Foods' as safe for human consumption. Upside Foods will soon be able to sell chicken made from real animal cells grown in bioreactors. Lab grown chicken looks, cooks, and tastes like chicken. It’s cultivated, by taking a small sample of healthy chicken cells, then placed it in a nutrient-rich environment and allow it to grow into pure clean meat. The process starts by tak...

Osaka-based technology company that creates shower heads and bathtubs is creating a 'human washing machine' by using this bubble technology. The concept is that a person seats in the 'human washing machine' and is cleaned and washed while he is relaxing in it. This futuristic AI 'human washing machine' will clean your body while playing a relaxing video chosen for you by artificial intelligence (AI). The ultrasonic bath will blast users with high-speed water containing extremely fine air ...

Drones have the potential to be very useful in disaster scenarios by transporting food and water to people in need. But whenever you ask a drone to transport anything, anywhere, the bulk of what gets moved is the drone itself. Most delivery drones can carry only about 30 percent of their mass as payload, because most of their mass is both critical, like wings, and comes in the form of things that are essentially useless to the end user, like wings. At the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on...
