After a stroke, many people face muscle tightness, or spasticity. This is a common issue, and it can be tough to handle. Doctors use a tool called surface electromyography (sEMG) to check how muscles are working. This tool gives real-time info about muscle activity. It's super useful for spotting mu
Missionary artifacts have been quietly shaping museums and exhibits for years. Unlike objects seized through violence, these items often fly under the radar. Yet, they hold a unique place in history, tied to both faith and power. These collections aren't just random items. They carry complex storie
Ever wondered what makes ginger so special? It's all about the gingerols and shogaols. These are the compounds that give ginger its unique kick and health benefits. But how do we study them? Enter HPLC, a cool technique that can separate and analyze these compounds with ease. Traditional methods ha
Bitcoin's decentralized nature makes it a hotspot for money laundering. Criminals exploit its complexity to hide illegal transactions, making them look like legal ones. This is a big challenge for those trying to detect and prevent money laundering. Current methods use Graph Convolutional Networks
Scientists have created a new tool to help clean up dirty water. They made special foam with tiny bits of graphene and a mix of nickel and cobalt. This foam can help break down a harmful chemical called 2, 3-dichlorophenol. The foam is put into a tube, and water flows through it. The foam uses light
New, compact magnetic sensors are changing the game. They let scientists study tiny magnetic fields in a way that wasn't possible before. These fields come from electrical currents in the body, like those in the spinal cord and chest. Researchers ran simulations to see how these currents create magn
Time-based networks, like social media or online shopping platforms, show how connections change over time. Lately, scientists have focused on creating better models to understand these networks. But there's a catch: they haven't paid much attention to the quality of the "wrong" examples used to tra
Pregnancy is a time of big choices, especially when it comes to prenatal tests. These tests can tell expectant mothers a lot about their baby's health, but they're not always easy to understand or decide on. A recent study looked at how much pregnant women in Türkiye know about these tests and what
Sony has just introduced the RX1R III, a compact camera that packs a punch. It's been a decade since the last model, and this one comes with a whopping 61MP sensor. That's right, a lot of megapixels in a small package. The camera is designed to be lightweight and easy to carry around, making it perf
Breast cancer is a big deal, affecting more women than any other cancer. Early detection is key to better treatment and survival rates. But current methods like mammograms can be uncomfortable, expensive, and not always accurate, especially for women with dense breast tissue. Enter infrared thermog
