Turning white blood cells into medicinal microrobots with light

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:46 AM PDT

Medicinal microrobots could help physicians better treat and prevent diseases. But most of these devices are made with synthetic materials that trigger immune responses in vivo. Now, for the first time, researchers have used lasers to precisely control neutrophils -- a type of white blood cell -- as a natural, biocompatible microrobot in living fish. The 'neutrobots' performed multiple tasks, showing they could someday deliver drugs to precise locations in the body.

Incidental pulmonary embolism on chest CT: AI vs. clinical reports

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:46 AM PDT

An AI tool for detection of incidental pulmonary embolus (iPE) on conventional contrast-enhanced chest CT examinations had high NPV and moderate PPV, even finding some iPEs missed by radiologists.

Researchers find the missing photonic link to enable an all-silicon quantum internet

Posted: 13 Jul 2022 08:45 AM PDT

Researchers have made a crucial breakthrough in the development of quantum technology. Their research describes their observations of over 150,000 silicon 'T center' photon-spin qubits, an important milestone that unlocks immediate opportunities to construct massively scalable quantum computers and the quantum internet that will connect them.
