AI Detects Brain Cancer from a Blood Test

AI Detects Brain Cancer from a Blood Test - using infrared spectroscopy. 

Let's adopt this ASAP

A patented technology that can detect brain cancer from blood samples. Using an innovative combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and spectroscopy, the U.K. researchers developed a method to detect brain cancer from a blood biopsy.

Batteries? X Super-Capacitors? *

Advance in understanding of all-solid-state batteries: exceeding critical currents destroy batteries [go super-capacitor instead]

[ This suggests to me that super-capacitors are the way to go. Battery chemistry is just too challenging, whereas the physics of (non-electrolytic) capacitors is simple and robust.

Successful farming opportunities under solar panels

Solar and agriculture - some plants thrive under solar panels and the panels benefit as well: win-win

"under the panels is much cooler in the summer and stays warmer in the winters. This not only lessens rates of evaporation of irrigation waters ... it also means that plants don't get as stressed out."

A range of crops perform well in this cooler, shaded, environment.

Basil plants produce larger leaves, kale leaves are longer and wider, and chard leaves are larger. This is key for these crops because farmers harvest the leafy parts of these plants.

The evaporation of water from the crops creates localized cooling, which reduces heat stress on the panels overhead and boosts their performance. In short, it is a win-win-win at the food-water-energy nexus.

At harvest: "We raised the panels so that they were about 3 meters (10 feet) off the ground on the low end so that typical tractors could access the site."

They want to experiment with solar panels that can be moved to completely vertical positions, allowing tractors to move through the rows of panels to get to the soil and crops without having to elevate the panels at all.

Solar panels cast shade on agriculture—in a good way

UK research: ultrasound to zap cancer

Tumour liquefying microbubbles: UK’s first convergent science centre officially launches (ultrasound to treat cancer)

The team will use tightly focused, high-frequency sound waves to target and break apart cancer cells with the help of microbubbles. The sound waves cause the microbubbles to expand and contract rapidly, putting a strain on the cancer cell and breaking it apart into harmless fragments to be reabsorbed into the body and expelled through natural processes.
