Researchers from mit, Amazon Robotics and the University of British Columbia have developed an innovative technique that allows robots to assess the weight, softness and other physical properties of objects using internal sensors and advanced differentiable simulation only. This method, based on proprioception, also works without external cameras.
Discover how intestinal ultrasound (IUS) alters the monitoring of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in children. A new, painless and non-invasive method without radiation and preparation, available at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, makes life easier for small patients with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and enables faster treatment decisions.
Discover Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), a therapy that has been scientifically proven to reduce opioid cravings and chronic pain. A new study in the journal JAMA confirms that THE SEA restores the brain's ability to enjoy natural rewards, offering new hope for recovery from addiction. Integrates mindfulness, CBT and positive psychology.
Engineers from UC San Diego have unveiled a revolutionary smart capsule that contains multiple drugs and releases them accurately throughout the day. Using pH-sensitive polymers and magnesium micromixers, this innovation aims to drastically improve adherence to therapy, especially in Parkinson's disease and cardiovascular conditions.
Researchers at mit demonstrated a record strong nonlinear light-matter coupling in the quantum system, using an innovative 'quarton coupling'. This discovery enables about 10 times faster quantum operations and qubit reading, accelerating the path towards the development of reliable error-resistant quantum computers to solve complex problems.
Acute lymphoblastic (all) and myeloid (AML) leukemia are the leading causes of cancer mortality in children. The place of residence and the characteristics of the neighborhood, such as the availability of pharmacies, food and transport, significantly affect the outcome of treatment, creating inequalities. Particularly critical is the approach to care for children with ALL due to long-term therapy.
