IN A NUTSHELL 🔍 Researchers developed a new framework for robotic swarms, mimicking the decentralized control in groups of birds, fish, and bees. ⚙️ The study introduces “curvity,” an intrinsic quality allowing robots to curve in response to external forces, enhancing swarm intelligence. 🏥 Applications include improved search-and-rescue operations, wildfire detection, and precision drug delivery systems. 🚀 The framework could …

An Australian analysis of more than a million primary-care records suggests many women of reproductive age starting GLP-1 receptor agonists for weight loss aren’t using effective contraception, despite potential pregnancy risks. Credit: Stock Researchers warn that widespread use of weight-loss drugs like Ozempic among women of reproductive age may pose hidden risks to pregnancy. Flinders University researchers caution that many …

On Jan. 21, at 12:22 a.m. local time, in the silence and darkness of Chile’s Patagonia region, a camera trap used to monitor wildlife for a project run by the University of Magallanes (UMAG) captured, in 2 seconds, three photographs showing intense lights moving downward. Everyone was baffled. “On a camera located at the edge of a meadow, quite far …

When treating severe burns and trauma, skin regeneration can be a matter of life or death. Extensive burns are usually treated by transplanting a thin layer of epidermis, the top layer of skin, from elsewhere on the body. However, this method not only leaves large scars, it also does not restore the skin to its original functional state. Unless the …

No wearables needed: researchers use WiFi and Raspberry Pi to measure your heart rate in real time  TechSpot WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables needed  UC Santa Cruz – News Wi-Fi Signals Can Measure Heart Rates Without Wearables, New Research Suggests  CNET Researchers claim that a Raspberry Pi’s Wi-Fi can provide “clinical-level heart rate monitoring” without the need for a wearable  xda-developers.com UC …

Summary Wi-Fi signals and machine learning can noninvasively process heart rate with clinical-level accuracy in under 5 seconds. After being tested on 118 people, it read pulse during motion using a $30 Raspberry Pi chip. If successful, it could enable contactless heart monitoring without wearables. When you want to track your health, you’d usually have to shell out for a …

After a month with no H5N1 avian flu detections in dairy cattle, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) today reported a positive test involving a herd from Texas, raising the nation’s total since early 2024 to 1,079 infected herds in 17 states. The detection is Texas’s first since May. Also, APHIS reported another …

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the sun constantly, captured an image of a mid-level solar flare on Jan. 12, 2015. NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Solar Dynamics Observatory hide caption toggle caption NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center/Solar Dynamics Observatory Beautiful yet dangerous solar flares that erupt from the sun could be as hot as 180 million degrees Fahrenheit, researchers say. That’s more …
