The Newborn Tory S2210 is the industry's most advanced, life-like newborn patient simulator, according to manufacturer Gaumard Scientific Company.
Fully tetherless and wireless, Newborn Tory enables health care professionals to easily administer and monitor simulated care as they transition from the delivery room to the operating room, the nursery or the NICU, while training for a large number of programmable scenarios. Tory integrates seamlessly with Gaumard's Victoria Birthing Simulator via a wireless link, allowing healthcare providers to first tend to labor and delivery and then…
An artificial intelligence system has for the first time reverse-engineered the regeneration mechanism of planaria, small worms that can regrow body parts. This is the first model of regeneration discovered by a non-human intelligence and the first comprehensive model of planarian regeneration, which had eluded human scientists for over 100 years.
In order to bioengineer complex organs, scientists need to understand the mechanisms by which those shapes are normally produced by the living organism. However, a significant knowledge gap persists between molecular genetic components…
Scientists synthesizing nanoscale materials using simple and highly efficient flame technology have been able to “bake” nanostructures using tin oxide, which opens up a wide field of possible new applications.
Metal oxides in bulk form are generally brittle, which limits their desired utilizations. Their one-dimensional (1D) structures, such as belt-like nanostructures, exhibit much more application potential because of their high surface to volume ratio. This ratio induces extraordinary physical and chemical properties, including a high degree of bendability.

A Silicon (Si) quantum dot (QD)-based hybrid inorganic/organic light-emitting diode (LED) that exhibits white-blue electroluminescence has been created.
A hybrid LED is expected to be a next-generation illumination device for producing flexible lighting and display, and this is achieved for the Si QD-based white-blue LED.
The Si QD hybrid LED was developed using a simple method; almost all processes were solution-based and conducted at ambient temperature and pressure. Conductive polymer solutions and a colloidal Si QD solution were deposited on the glass substrate. The current and…
Unless you are a wealthy elite, an electric car is not a viable option because gasoline still rules when it comes to energy density, meaning electric has a more limited range, and solar energy is not close to replacing fossil fuels yet so the environment is not winning.
But hybrids, used properly, can be a way to bridge to that cleaner energy future: Bucher Municipal has developed a hybrid-electric powertrain for a street sweeper. The concept is based on a gas-driven engine, which provides power to the electric motors. Bucher Municipal of Niederweningen in Switzerland and is the European…
Passwords have to be complicated in order to keep them from being stolen but our reactions to words are subjective - and those could lead to the best security of all.
In a new study, researchers from Binghamton University observed the brain signals of 45 volunteers as they read a list of 75 acronyms, such as FBI and DVD. They recorded the brain's reaction to each group of letters, focusing on the part of the brain associated with reading and recognizing words, and found that participants' brains reacted differently to each acronym, enough that a computer system was able to identify each…
Google Glass gave the idea of data glasses an uphill cultural hill to climb - rather than being a must-have accessory, they became a source of derision.
But the idea is not bad, and for tourist attractions they may be ideal; people will be able to see a building and get useful facts displayed alongside it – similar to the speech bubbles used in comic books. And if they were trying to find their way around in unfamiliar surroundings, these “see-through data glasses” will be able to display navigation data taken from their smartphone directly in their field of view. And they don't have clunky…

Haskell Karp was 37 when he suffered his first heart attack, and over the next ten years he suffered a variety of related problems. By 1969 even the slightest effort, like combing his hair or brushing his teeth, would bring on chest pain or extreme shortness of breath.
There are four grades of heart failure under the classification determined in 1928 by the New York Heart Association; Karp’s was classified as grade IV, the most severe.
The surgeon who treated him at St Luke’s Hospital, Texas, in 1969 was an energetic man called Denton Cooley. “The man had a big dilated heart and I hoped we…
Earlier this month, LinkedIn announced an update to its users’ already-teeming profile view. The social network now lets you track and chart who’s viewed your posts, complete with a “performance summary” and a colorful demographic breakdown.
The new analytics tool extends last year’s big feature update, which encouraged users to see how they “rank” (as in, “You rank in the top 48% for profile views among your connections”). The service already let you track your profile views, with an “insights” graph and an invitation to “See how you’re trending.”
On LinkedIn, we see ourselves in…
Windows 10 build 10122 marks the arrival of something like a first beta Build of Windows 10. (Build 10130 has a bit more polish, new icons, but has the same issues as 10122.) As such, one can now start to ask the question how will my favorite games fare under Windows 10? Back when Windows 8 came out many people from corporate IT to Gamers said "We'll wait for Windows 9". Microsoft has skipped to 10 and kept the live tiles and touch friendly aspects of the interface it was fashionable to hate about Windows 8 and 8.1. Leaving aside the cosmetic changes needed…
