Signaling between neuron types found to instigate morphological changes during early neocortex development

A team of researchers from several institutions in Japan has found that developing neocortex neurons in mammals undergo a morphological transition from a multipolar shape to a bipolar shape due at least partially to signaling ...

Mechanism that drives development of liver cancer brought on by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease discovered

A team of researchers from several institutions in China has found a mechanism that appears to drive the development of a type of liver cancer not caused by alcohol consumption. In their paper published in the journal Science ...

Combining augmented reality with deep learning network to help pathologists spot cancer cells

A team of researchers at Google has developed a tool that combines augmented reality with a deep learning neural network to provide pathologists with help in spotting cancerous cells on slides under a microscope. Google has ...

Researchers grow capillaries with a neural organoid

A team of researchers at UC Davis has succeeded in growing capillaries on and into a neural organoid. In their paper published in the journal NeuroReport, the group describes how they grew capillaries with the organoid and ...

Battery-free wireless sensors collect temperature and pressure of bedridden patients

A team of researchers from the U.S., China and Korea has developed a small, skin-like sensor that can be attached to a human patient to collect temperature and pressure information and wirelessly send it to healthcare workers. ...

Princeton's tech watchers shine glaring light on web tracking, data slurping

Hidden online trackers are hardly secure in their hiding place, not after this week's headlines for stories about how Facebook user information can be nabbed. The information can be obtained on various websites that support ...

FlyJacket: Upper-body exoskeleton turns focus on drones

A drone you can control with your body? You guessed it. The technology at play is in the form of an exosuit. A Swiss team stepped up to the challenge of making one to do just that.

To be fully immersive, sources of haptic stimulation in VR apps need to be shown, researchers find

A team of researchers at Microsoft has found that for physical stimulation techniques to work as hoped in virtual reality applications, the user needs to be shown the source of the stimulation. If they are not the group notes ...

Advanced 3-D printed parts for NASA's Orion designed to hold up to extreme temperatures

3-D printing is securing an exciting foothold in space exploration. A NASA spacecraft will include 3-D printed parts—these are for NASA's Orion mission. The spacecraft will eventually send astronauts to the Moon and beyond.

PowerHammer is wake-up call to data-stealing through power lines

Can security sleuths ever complain there's nothing left to do? The answer is obvious, and one more path to mischief has been recognized in the form of power supplies serving as a data exfiltration tool. It appears that malware ...
