Google Home no longer needs to lean solely on smart home devices like thermostats to know whether or not you're around. Home's optional presence sensing feature can now use interactions with Nest speakers and smart displays to help detect activity in your abode, letting it perform automated actions. If you talk to your Nest Audio […]
PARKINSON’S is a neurodegenerative disease affecting thousands of people in the UK. Currently incurable, the condition causes the loss of motor movement over a period of years. Diagnosing Parkinson’s early is key but takes time; a new test could change that.
Sure enough, astronomers have discovered even more of those mysterious fast radio bursts from outside the Milky Way galaxy. Scientists using the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) telescope have detected 13 different radio bursts, including six repeat bursts from the same location in a galaxy 1.5 billion light years away. Each of those bursts […]
Fake news continues to rear its ugly head. In March of this year, half of the U.S. population reported seeing deliberately misleading articles on news websites. A majority of respondents to a recent Edelman survey, meanwhile, said that they couldn’t judge the veracity of media reports. And given that fake news has been shown to […]
The breakthrough test can detect cancer markers found in your breath (Image: BILLY BOYLE) By detecting cancer earlier, potentially before symptoms have even appeared, tens of thousands of lives could be saved every year. It would also reduce the need for costly and invasive internal investigations, biopsies and scans. Multiple large-scale clinical trials, partly funded […]
BREATHALYSERS which detect some of the deadliest cancers are expected to become available in GP surgeries within a few years. The kits identify biomarkers in the breath and match them to different cancer signatures.

We all know that AI can be used to swap faces in photos and videos. People have, of course, taken advantage of this tool for some disturbing uses, including face-swapping people into pornographic videos — the ultimate revenge porn. But if AI can be used to face swap, can’t it also be used to detect […]
Astronomers have discovered evidence of the first light in the universe, believed to have emanated from the earliest stars. It all happened some 180 million years after the Big Bang. The remarkable breakthrough was made using a simple but high-tech antenna in the remote Western Australia outback to detect radio signals from the first stars. […]
Science published three studies today that all demonstrate new uses for CRISPR. The gene editing technology is typically thought of for its potential use in treating diseases like HIV, ALS and Huntington’s disease, but researchers are showing that applications of CRISPR don’t stop there. The first study comes from the lab of CRISPR pioneer Jennifer […]
