AI Could Help Increase the IVF Success Rate

by WIPL-D in Engineering, Engineering News

More than 8 million people have been born worldwide with the help of in vitro fertilization since 1978. In IVF, an egg is fertilized by sperm in the lab; the resulting clump of cells is transferred into a patient’s uterus. Although IVF techniques have advanced significantly in recent decades, the average success rate is still […]

Paige's AI Diagnostic Tech is Revolutionizing Cancer Diagnosis

by prachi patel in Engineering, Engineering News

Artificial intelligence was not on Leo Grady‘s mind when he was applying for college in the early 1990s. The IEEE member was interested in human interaction, linguistics, and psychology, and he initially chose the unusual double major of anthropology and physics. But his desire to understand how the human brain works led him to switch […]

Inexpensive 3D-Printed Microscope Can Spot Coronavirus in Blood

by kathy pretz in Engineering, Engineering News

A digital microscope that uses holography and deep-learning technology could detect COVID-19 in a drop of blood. A diagnosis could be made on the spot in a matter of minutes instead of the hours or sometimes days it can take for PCR test results to come back. The system, which uses digital holographic microscopy, could […]

Handheld Device Fights Fatigue by Stimulating Vagus Nerve

by inspectAR in Engineering, Engineering News

Feeling tired? Applying electricity to a nerve in the neck with a handheld device can reduce fatigue and improve multitasking in sleep-deprived people, according to a new study conducted on U.S. Air Force volunteers. Previous research found that electrically stimulating the brain with a technique known as transcranial direct current stimulation can improve mental performance […]

These Technologists Are Trying to Make COVID-19 Risk Assessment More of a Science

by evan ackerman in Engineering, Engineering News

During the course of the pandemic, public-health authorities have tried the best they could to provide guidelines about what is or isn’t safe. That’s a tough job, for many reasons, not the least of which is that scientific understanding of the COVID-19 virus and its transmission is constantly evolving, as are conditions on the ground. What’s more, […]

Brain-Computer Interface Smashes Previous Record for Typing Speed

by Susan K. Kathy Land in Engineering, Engineering News

The ancient art of handwriting has just pushed the field of brain-computer interface (BCI) to the next level. Researchers have devised a system that allows a person to communicate directly with a computer from his brain by imagining creating handwritten messages. The approach enables communication at a rate more than twice as fast as previous typing-by-brain experiments. […]
