Autonomous Robot Surgeon Finally Outperforms Humans in Soft Tissue Operation
The first in vivo soft tissue surgery completed by an autonomous robot is in the books, and in impressive fashion. While robots, and even autonomous robots, have been used in surgery before, they have failed to meet the high expectations set…
Viruses That Can Help Regulate Human Immune System
Viruses, small infectious agents that replicate only inside the living cells of other organisms, have been around for billions of years. They can infect all types of life forms, from microorganisms, plants and animals to humans. It has been…
New Synthesis Technique Leads to Over 300 Candidate Antibiotics
The combination of drug misuse, reductions in antimicrobial research by the pharmaceutical industry, and the rapid evolution capabilities of microorganisms has resulted in pathogenic bacteria with stronger and stronger drug resistance. This…
Fast and Affordable Paper-based Test for Detection of Zika Virus in the Field
