The new tattoo: Drawing electronics on skin Posted: 13 Jul 2020 01:56 PM PDT One day, people could monitor their own health conditions by simply picking up a pencil and drawing a bioelectronic device on their skin. In a new study, engineers demonstrated that the simple combination of pencils and paper could be used to create devices that might be used to monitor personal health.

Artificial intelligence predicts which planetary systems will survive Posted: 13 Jul 2020 12:50 PM PDT An astrophysicist has found a new method for determining the long-term stability of planetary configurations that is up to 100,000 times faster than the previous approach. This breaks the computational bottleneck and enables sharper views of the orbital architectures of exoplanetary systems.

Parasite infestations revealed by tiny chicken backpacks Posted: 13 Jul 2020 07:43 AM PDT Blood-feeding livestock mites can be detected with wearable sensor technology nicknamed ''Fitbits for chickens.'' To help farmers detect mite infestations, a team of entomologists, computer scientists, and biologists has created a new insect detection system.

Engineered llama antibodies neutralize COVID-19 virus Posted: 13 Jul 2020 07:43 AM PDT Antibodies derived from llamas have been shown to neutralise the SARS-CoV-2 virus in lab tests, researchers have found. They hope the antibodies -- known as nanobodies due to their small size -- could eventually be developed as a treatment for patients with severe COVID-19.
