A Drop in Temperature Could Signal More Cardiac Arrests in the Days Ahead

25 September 2026 at 01:04

A cold forecast could someday help hospitals and ambulance teams prepare for an increase in cardiac emergencies. New research from Hungary has found that changes in weather, especially lower temperatures, can help predict when more people than usual may suffer cardiac arrest outside a hospital. The nationwide study examined more than 114,000 cases recorded over […]

How Electric Fish Tune Out Their Own Signals

25 September 2026 at 01:00

Imagine trying to listen for a whisper while making a loud noise yourself. An African elephantnose fish faces a similar problem underwater. It sends out small electric pulses to explore its surroundings, but those pulses could drown out the faint signals it needs to detect food and other fish. The fish has sensors in its […]

Black Holes on the Move May Reveal How Galaxies Grew

25 September 2026 at 00:59

Most galaxies have a massive black hole near their center. But some black holes may be far from the middle, drifting through the galaxy for billions of years. Astronomers say these wanderers could help answer a question about the early universe: how did the first black holes form? A black hole can begin to wander […]

Engineers connect health wearables and implants using the body as the network

24 September 2026 at 19:00
Using the human body to transmit signals, Georgia Tech engineers have created a wireless networking system that allows tiny implantable sensors and actuators to communicate with each other and with wearable devices. Their system means devices can work together like never before, sensing in one part of the body and triggering a therapeutic response elsewhere—perhaps releasing medicine or stimulating a nerve.
