Patients discharged from hospital early to free up beds for coronavirus patients have been told not to contact their GPs for advice. NHS England wrote to doctors at the weekend telling them discharged patients should not be phoning them or visiting A&E after they leave the ward. They should instead be seeking help, if they … Read more
With private companies’ coronavirus testing coming online, the Trump administration promised the shortage of test kits would rapidly disappear. That may be the case, as more than 100,000 Americans are now being tested in the US each day. But just because more people are ‘getting tested’ – having their noses swabbed for sample collection – … Read more
As the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread, people who have been exposed to the virus or to sick patients have been asked to go into self-isolation. But what exactly does that mean? A former chief medical officer for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explains to DailyMail.com what self-isolation is and what you should … Read more
First invented in the 1980s by Chuck Hull, an engineer and physicist, 3D printing technology – also called additive manufacturing – is the process of making an object by depositing material, one layer at a time. Similarly to how an inkjet printer adds individual dots of ink to form an image, a 3D printer adds … Read more
Is this the last thing you see? Scientists create simulated high-resolution image of black hole 55 million light years from Earth using Einstein’s theory of relativity Black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 was imaged in April Supermassive black hole in M87 has about 6.5 billion times the mass of our sun … Read more
Researchers create an AI microphone that listens for coughs and sneezes in public spaces to predict how many people have respiratory illnesses at any given time even if they haven’t been to a doctor for treatment Researchers created a device that analyzes audio samples to detect coughs The device, called FluSense, has an AI that … Read more
Smartphones with multiple cameras and blurry photos could become a thing of the past as engineers have created a flat lens that doesn’t need focusing. The technology — which uses a single lens covered in tiny patterns that is just one-thousandth of an inch thick — was developed by experts from the University of Utah. Not only … Read more
Quantum computers and higher resolution sensors are a step closer after scientists develop a way to control a single atom with an electric field for the first time. Described by the engineering team from UNSW as a ‘happy accident’, the discovery could replace the tried and tested magnetic resonance imaging used in medicine. It also … Read more
High altitude drones create detailed 3D model of Peru’s shrinking glaciers as researchers aim to understand why they’re melting so rapidly A pair of researchers from the University of Edinburgh traveled to Peru The hiked some of the country’s famous glaciers with custom-built drones They spent several days capturing detailed visual and thermal information with … Read more
Engineers create durable new wind turbines that can harvest energy from typhoons and withstand gusts of up to 156mph because they use spinning cylinders instead of blades Engineers in Japan are preparing a radical new wind turbine for release It’s built with rotating cylinders, which are more durable than traditional blades In 2017, a prototype … Read more
