Coronavirus RNA vaccines are designed to help the body recognize and fight off the virus. They work by using pieces of the virus's genetic material to train the immune system. These vaccines include specific parts of the coronavirus that help trigger a protective response. The methods for using these vaccines are also explained in the research. Overall, this approach aims to improve immunity against COVID-19. more»

A smart bra can help find abnormal breast tissue using light. It has a special cup with two parts: one that is tight against the chest and another that is more flexible. Light is sent through the breast from one side of the cup to the other, where it is received and analyzed. Any changes in the light can indicate issues with the tissue. The bra also has expandable chambers that gently press on the breast to make the scanning more effective. more»

An interactive AI system helps users perform blockchain transactions easily using their devices. It connects to messaging systems and uses unique device identifiers to communicate with servers and networks. The system includes a smart language understanding feature that can interpret and manage blockchain actions like starting transactions and generating receipts. It has a knowledge base that boosts its accuracy in handling these transactions. A predictive menu shows users likely actions they want to take, making the process smoother and more intuitive. more»

A new method helps treat patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) that has a high tumor mutational burden (TMB). Treatment options include using an anti-PD-1 antibody alone or combining it with an anti-CTLA-4 antibody. To find out if a patient is a good candidate for this treatment, doctors can measure the TMB status from a sample of the patient's tumor. A high TMB status indicates that the patient may benefit from the anti-PD-1 antibody treatment. This TMB status is determined by analyzing the tumor's genetic material to find specific mutations. more»

Integrated circuits (ICs) can now have improved interconnect structures that use a subtractive patterning method. This technique helps to create better-defined features by using multiple layers of materials, reducing the chances of misalignment. The new design allows for lines and vias to be combined in various ways, enhancing the overall performance of the circuits. Additionally, these features can include barriers made from advanced materials like graphene to improve their effectiveness. Overall, this innovation aims to support the growing demand for faster and more efficient electronic devices. more»

An augmented reality (AR) device is designed for users to wear, allowing them to see and interact with virtual content. Users can also wear a special device that tracks their hand movements and provides feedback they can feel. This feedback helps users respond to the digital content they see through the AR device. The hand device can be a glove that fits on the user's hands or a handheld controller. Together, these tools create an engaging exercise experience that combines real and virtual elements. more»

A system allows a user to input a description of content they want to create using artificial intelligence. The AI then generates initial content based on that description. The user can edit this content to make changes or improvements. After editing, the updated content is sent back to the AI for further refinement. Finally, the improved content is displayed on the user's device for them to see and use. more»
