Using Apple Vision Pro during surgery

16.03.2024

The medical team at Cromwell Hospital in London used Apple Vision Pro for the first time during two spinal surgeries. This event confirms the headset's potential as a medical tool that will change the way surgical practice is practiced.

Although the doctors themselves did not use Vision Pro, the operating room nurse worked with virtual reality using glasses while preparing and performing procedures. The headset made it possible to view virtual screens in the operating room, select instruments and monitor the progress of the operation.

Software developed by eXeX, a company that specializes in creating artificial intelligence-based applications for surgery, has significantly improved the patient care process. Using Apple Vision Pro opens up new opportunities for developing healthcare applications such as clinical education, surgical planning, training and medical imaging.

The introduction of Apple Vision Pro into medical practice opens a new era in surgery and promises to improve the quality of medical care. This progressive step allows doctors and nurses to use advanced technology for more precise and effective medical interventions.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electronic helmet for truck drivers 14.04.2024

Road safety, especially for drivers of heavy construction equipment, is a top priority for engineers and scientists. In light of this, the German Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Strength and System Reliability has introduced a new product - an electronic helmet, which is designed to protect drivers from serious injury when driving construction vehicles. A new electronic helmet developed by a team of engineers from the Fraunhofer Institute opens up new perspectives for the safety of truck and construction equipment drivers. The device is capable of monitoring the level of shaking in the car cabin and warning the driver of possible danger. The basis of the helmet's operation is a built-in piezoelectric sensor, which generates electricity during physical deformation. This mechanism allows the device to respond to intense vibrations typical of construction equipment. When the level of deformation exceeds safe values, an alarm system is activated on the helmet, ... >>

Antivitamins instead of antibiotics 13.04.2024

The problem of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is becoming increasingly serious, posing a threat to the effective treatment of infections. In light of this, researchers are looking for new ways to combat superbugs. One of the promising directions is the use of antivitamins that can have an antibacterial effect. Antivitamins, although known as the opposite of vitamins, have proven to be a promising tool in the fight against bacterial antibiotic resistance. A study conducted by scientists from the University of Göttingen in Germany confirmed their potential in creating new drugs to combat dangerous infections. With the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs, there is a need to find alternative treatments. Antivitamins are molecules similar to vitamins, but capable of inhibiting bacterial activity without harm to the human body. At the moment, science knows only three antivitamins: rose ... >>

Cryoprocessor Horse Ridge 12.12.2019

Intel Labs shared details about its new Horse Ridge cryogenic processor, developed jointly with the Dutch company QuTech. This is the world's first chip designed to create commercial quantum systems. Horse Ridge is designed to take on all the work that previously fell on a significant number of semiconductor technologies.

Relatively small (about the size of the palm of a hand) and replacing the huge external components normally required to drive qubits, the new chip should allow Intel to increase the number of qubits on its way to building a practical quantum computer that solves real-world problems.

Google has previously said it has achieved quantum superiority over traditional supercomputers. Its 53-qubit quantum computer was the first to solve a problem faster than the world's most powerful supercomputer. However, according to Intel, for large-scale commercially viable quantum systems that solve real problems, at least thousands of qubits are needed. This so-called quantum practicality is what Intel primarily focuses on.

To date, quantum systems use many devices and components connected by cables in racks, which is a bottleneck and requires no less large-scale cryogenic cooling. This hinders system scalability for more qubits and creates the need for an integrated solution. Intel claims that it can solve this problem thanks to the Horse Ridge chip.

The company describes Horse Ridge as an integrated single-chip system that is built on Intel's proprietary 22FFL FinFET process technology. The chip is located inside the refrigeration unit and is therefore designed to operate at cryogenic temperatures (-269 degrees Celsius). As a result, the complexity of quantum engineering technology can be reduced by moving from hundreds of cables to a single unified complex.

Horse Ridge allows you to control multiple qubits at once and provides system scalability. While Intel still uses a 49-qubit quantum computer, its new cryoprocessor could give it an edge in what the company calls quantum usability.
