The medical world has been buzzing with excitement over the recent breakthrough in artificial heart technology. A 58-year-old man in the United States made history by becoming the first person in the world to receive a temporary, titanium blood-pumper designed by BiVACOR. This innovative device is a total artificial heart (TAH) that aims to replace
Innovations in water treatment technology are constantly evolving, with engineers and researchers striving to find efficient and sustainable solutions to address the presence of harmful chemicals in our water supply. One such groundbreaking development comes from the University of Bath, where a team of researchers has devised a method using 3D printing to remove ‘forever
The detection of gravitational waves has opened up a new realm of possibilities in the field of astrophysics. When black holes collide, the resulting ripples in space-time provide crucial insights into the structure of our universe. The observation of these waves, first predicted by Einstein a century ago, marks a significant milestone in our quest
Studying ancient ocean temperatures is crucial for understanding past climate conditions and predicting future climate trends. One common method used to reconstruct these temperatures is by analyzing the ratio of different oxygen isotopes in calcium carbonate remains of fossils. However, this approach is not without its challenges, as biological processes known as “vital effects” can
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been rapidly advancing in recent years, with applications such as generative AI pushing the scalability of existing digital hardware to its limits. As a result, there is a growing interest in analog hardware specialized for AI computation. A recent study, published in Science Advances, has shed light on the potential
Interbasin water transfers play a crucial role in transporting water across vast geographical areas in the U.S. West. The recent research published in the journal Nature Water sheds light on the energy-related greenhouse gas emissions associated with these projects, with two key projects in Arizona and California contributing to a majority of the emissions. The
