Conveyor Belt GBoard Brings the Keys to You - It must be April in October again, because Google Japan has a new, hilariously impractical reimagining of the keyboard: a conveyor belt. This time it’s on GitHub with firmware, STLs, …read more
More Than 1 in 3 Adults Had High Blood Pressure – Most Didn’t Know It - A study of 1.4 million adults in England found that more than one-third had high blood pressure, while nearly two-thirds were unaware they had it. A person can have blood pressure high enough to meet the clinical definition of hypertension without ever being diagnosed or receiving medication. That gap...
Scientists Find a Possible Way To Interrupt Stomach Cancer Before It Begins - A common stomach bacterium may trigger a developmental repair program that pushes gastric tissue toward a precancerous state. Stomach cancer often begins years before a tumor can be detected. During that long interval, the stomach lining can undergo a series of molecular and cellular changes that gradually...
Deutsche Telekom targets US$2.8 billion in savings as AI business grows - Deutsche Telekom expects artificial intelligence and automation to generate around EUR2.5 billion (approx. US$2.8 billion) in indirect-cost savings by 2030 compared with 2023, Reuters reported, as the German telecom group puts measurable financial targets behind both cost savings and revenue growth.
Tearing Down a Heavy Oscilloscope - When [Thomas] showed his 1960s-era Tektronix 545A oscilloscope in a recent video, it made us both nostalgic and happy. Nostalgic because we miss the days when our oscilloscopes were “mainframes” …read more
Engineers Have Created the World’s First Floating Titanium - Australian engineers have developed a strong, lightweight titanium material that remains afloat even after severe damage, offering a potential new option for marine infrastructure. Buoys, floating sensors, and other marine structures depend on sealed spaces to keep water out and stay afloat. A serious...
The Big Moon Plot - When you look into the night sky, you can’t help but wish to bring the outer worlds to your doorstep. One of the best ways to do that is to …read more
Popular GLP-1 Drugs Linked to an Overlooked Side Effect Involving Nails - A large multinational study has linked GLP-1 receptor agonist use with a notably higher prevalence of nail disorders, including detachment and discoloration.

Electric Car Makers Need to Appeal to the ‘Other 90%’ - Broader appeal for the electric car is a big challenge. Innovation is still the best solution. The post Electric Car Makers Need to Appeal to the ‘Other 90%’ appeared first on EE Times .
Why Do Muscles Weaken With Age? Scientists May Have Found an Important Missing Piece - A newly identified breakdown in nerve-muscle communication may help explain age-related weakness. Muscles do not weaken with age simply because they get smaller. New research suggests that part of the problem may lie in the electrical signals that tell them when to contract. Scientists at the University...
AI Can Detect Hidden Signs of Aging in the 3D Architecture of DNA - Researchers have developed an AI system that can detect subtle, age-related changes in the three-dimensional organization of DNA inside mouse blood stem cells. As we grow older, our bodies gradually become less able to produce an adequate supply of blood cells. This decline affects the hematopoietic system,...
