| Video game-based therapy helps stroke patients Posted: 09 Mar 2022 01:55 PM PST After a stroke, patients may lose feeling in an arm or experience weakness and reduced movement that limits their ability to complete basic daily activities. Traditional rehabilitation therapy is very intensive, time-consuming and can be both expensive and inconvenient, especially for rural patients travelling long distances to in-person therapy appointments. That's why a team of researchers utilized a motion-sensor video game, Recovery Rapids, to allow patients recovering from a stroke to improve their motor skills and affected arm movements at home while checking in periodically with a therapist via telehealth. |
| Exploring the bounds of room-temperature superconductivity Posted: 09 Mar 2022 12:48 PM PST There are a few superconducting material systems for electric transmission in various stages of development. In the meantime, researchers are conducting experiments to look for superconductivity in a room-temperature and atmospheric pressure environment. |
| New insight into machine-learning error estimation Posted: 09 Mar 2022 12:48 PM PST Scientists are evaluating machine-learning models using transfer learning principles. |
| Introducing organs-on-chips to the lymph system Posted: 09 Mar 2022 12:17 PM PST Currently, there is little research focused on understanding mechanisms and drug discovery of lymphatic vascular diseases. However, conditions such as lymphedema, a buildup of fluid in the body when the lymph system is damaged, impact more than 200,000 people every year in the United States alone. |
| A 'zigzag' blueprint for topological electronics Posted: 09 Mar 2022 07:45 AM PST A collaborative study confirms a potential new switching mechanism for a proposed generation of ultra-low energy topological electronics. Based on novel, quantum nanoribbons terminating on 'zigzag' edges, such devices would switch from non-conducting to conducting state, whereby electrical current could flow along topological edge states without wasted dissipation of energy. |
| Mathematical discovery could shed light on secrets of the Universe Posted: 09 Mar 2022 06:08 AM PST How can Einstein's theory of gravity be unified with quantum mechanics? It is a challenge that could give us deep insights into phenomena such as black holes and the birth of the universe. Now, a new article presents results that cast new light on important challenges in understanding quantum gravity. |
